Endometrial Stromal Tumors (EST), 7p15 (JAZF1), 6p21.32 (PHF1), 17p13.3 (YWHAE) Rearrangement, FISH, Tissue
Use
This test is useful for supporting the diagnosis of endometrial stromal tumors when used in conjunction with an anatomic pathology consultation. Endometrial stromal tumors (EST) are gastrointestinal neoplasms arising from the uterus and include benign endometrial stromal nodules (ESN) and endometrial stromal sarcomas (ESS).
Special Instructions
This test does not include a pathology consultation. If a consultation is requested, order PATHC / Pathology Consultation, and appropriate testing will be added at the discretion of the pathologist. It is not intended for male patients.
Limitations
The test is not FDA approved but has been developed consistent with CLIA requirements. Fixatives other than formalin may not be effective for FISH assays, and decalcified tissues may have a lower success rate. If the JAZF1 FISH report is not provided, testing and interpretation may be affected.
