Associated Genetic Biomarkers

Overview

NCI Definition: A multinodular intermediate fibroblastic neoplasm that arises from soft tissue or viscera, in children and young adults. It is characterized by the presence of spindle-shaped fibroblasts and myofibroblasts, and a chronic inflammatory infiltrate composed of eosinophils, lymphocytes, and plasma cells. [1]

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors most frequently harbor alterations in ALK, TFG, ROS1, RANBP2, and NOTCH1 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor

ALK Fusion, TFG-ROS1 Fusion, ROS1 Fusion, RANBP2-ALK Fusion, and KRAS Mutation are the most common alterations in inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor [2].
