Potentially actionable FGFR2 high-level amplification in thymic sebaceous carcinoma

Our aim was to investigate sebaceous differentiation in thymus tumours and to identify new actionable genomic alterations. To this end we screened 35 normal and 23 hyperplastic thymuses, 127 thymomas and 41 thymic carcinomas for the presence of sebaceous differentiation as defined by morphology and expression of adipophilin and androgen receptor (AR). One primary thymic carcinoma showed morphology of sebaceous carcinomas (keratinizing and foam...
