TI  - Desmoplastic small round cell tumor: using FISH as an ancillary technique to 
      support cytologic diagnosis in an unusual case.
PG  - 516-20
AB  - Desmoplastic small round cell tumor is a rare and aggressive neoplasm that 
      predominantly affects young males. In almost all cases, a reciprocal 
      translocation is present resulting in the fusion of the Ewing sarcoma gene with 
      the Wilms' tumor gene. Here we describe an unusual case occurring in a 
      59-year-old male, in which fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was used in 
      conjunction with immunohistochemical studies to confirm the diagnosis. To our 
      knowledge, this is the first reported case of using FISH as an ancillary 
      technique to confirm the cytologic diagnosis of this tumor.
