Abstract

Biphenotypic sinonasal sarcoma is an anatomically restricted low-grade malignant neoplasm with dual neural and myogenic differentiation composed of a monotonous population of spindled cells with herringbone/fascicular architecture. These tumors demonstrate a unique immunoprofile with relatively consistent S100-protein and actin expression in conjunction with more variable desmin, myogenin and myoD1 staining. SOX10 is uniformly negative. Genetically, the majority of tumors harbor PAX3-MAML3 fusions, with alternate PAX3 partners including FOXO1, NCOA1, NCOA2 and WWTR1. Although the differential diagnosis of BSNS is broad, careful morphologic inspection together with targeted ancillary studies is often sufficient to arrive at the correct diagnosis. As these tumors have significant local recurrence rates but lack metastatic potential, awareness and accurate diagnosis of this rare and newly described neoplasm is critical for appropriate management.
