Myoepithelial tumors of the soft tissue and bone occurring in patients 21 years of age and younger are rare, and their clinicopathologic features remain incompletely understood. We studied a well-characterized series of 40 such tumors. Cases were retrieved from our archives for the period 2009–2022 and re-reviewed. Available immunohistochemical and molecular genetic data was collected. Clinical information including available follow-up was obtained. The tumors occurred in 18 males and 22 females, ranging from 3 months to 21 years of age (median 11.5 years), and involved a wide variety of soft tissue (n = 36) and bone (n = 4) locations. Histologically benign myoepithelial tumors tended to occur in adolescents (median age 14.5 years; range 5–21 years), whereas myoepithelial carcinomas occurred in younger patients (median age 8.5 years; range 3 months–20 years). Microscopically, the tumors showed a complex admixture of epithelioid, plasmacytoid and spindled cells in a variably hyalinized, myxoid, chondroid or chondromyxoid background. Small subsets of histologically malignant tumors had rhabdoid or “round cell” features. Immunohistochemistry showed 35/40 (88%) cases to be positive with at least one keratin antibody. The 5 keratin-negative tumors were uniformly positive for S100 protein and/or SOX10 and expressed EMA (4 cases) and/or p63 (3 cases). EMA, SMA and GFAP were positive in 21/25 (84%), 13/21 (62%), and 8/21 (38%) tumors, respectively. SMARCB1 and SMARCA4 expression was retained in 29/31 (94%) and 22/22 (100%) of cases, respectively. FISH for EWSR1 gene rearrangement was positive in 6/18 (33%) tested cases. Two EWSR1-negative tumors were also FUS-negative. NGS identified EWSR1::POU5F1, FUS::KLF17, and BRD4::CITED1 gene fusions in 3 tested cases. Clinical follow-up (22 patients; median 23 months; range 1–119 months) showed 3 patients with local recurrences and 5 with distant metastases (lymph nodes, lung, and brain). Three patients died of disease, 3 were alive with recurrent or unresectable disease, and 16 were disease-free. Adverse clinical outcomes were seen only in patients with malignant tumors. We conclude that myoepithelial neoplasms of soft tissue and bone are over-repesented in patients ≤21 years of age, more often histologically malignant, and potentially lethal. Histologic evaluation appears to reliably predict the behavior of these rare tumors.
