Primary Intraosseous Synovial Sarcoma with Molecular Confirmation: Expanding and Clarifying the Spectrum of This Rare Neoplasm

Figure 5

Cases 1 and 2: positive fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis for SYT (SS18) gene rearrangement, performed at the Cleveland Clinic, demonstrated by an abnormal signal pattern seen as disruption of the SYT gene through the breaking apart of the red and green probe signals. In case 2, SYT gene rearrangement was seen in 94% of tumor nuclei (a). In case 1, SYT gene rearrangement was seen in 76% of tumor nuclei (b).
