Myoepithelial neoplasms of the skin and soft tissue are rare and share histopathologic features with their salivary gland counterpart. We present a case of an atypical myoepithelial neoplasm from the back of a 72-year-old female. This lesion harbored an EWSR1::NR4A3 gene fusion, a genetic signature characteristically seen in extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma. To our knowledge, this is a unique case of an atypical cutaneous myoepithelial neoplasm harboring EWSR1::NR4A3 fusion.
