Spindle cell/sclerosing rhabdomyosarcoma (SSRMS) is a clinicopathologically and molecularly heterogeneous disease. Gene fusions have been identified in intraosseous SSRMS, consisting predominantly of EWSR1 / FUS :: TFCP2 and MEIS1 :: NCOA2 . The former often follow an aggressive clinical course; there is limited clinical follow-up available for the latter. We report here a new case of the very rare intraosseous SSRMS with MEIS1 :: NCOA2 gene fusion and include the detailed treatment course and 52 months of clinical follow-up. SSRMS with MEIS1 :: NCOA2 gene fusion appears biologically distinct from other intraosseous SSRMS, following a course characterized by local recurrence with rare reports of metastasis to date.
