Abstract
The transcription factor GLI1 is a critical effector of the sonic hedgehog pathway. Gene fusions that activate GLI1 have recently been reported in several tumor types including gastroblastoma, plexiform fibromyxoma, a subset of pericytomas, and other soft tissue tumors. These tumors arise in a wide variety of anatomical origins and have variable malignant potentials, morphologies, and immunohistochemistry profiles. In this case report, we describe a malignant tumor from the jejunum with a MALAT1-GLI1 gene fusion that expressed a truncated constitutively active GLI1 protein and GLI1 targets that were detectable by immunohistochemistry. The tumor showed high-grade epithelioid and spindle cell ..
