A case of clear cell sarcoma (CCS) arising in the transverse colon is presented. The tumor consisted of sheets or small nests of epithelioid malignant cells possessing pleomorphic nuclei with one or more prominent nucleoli and ample clear or slightly eosinophilic cytoplasm. Some of the tumor cells contained various amounts of melanin pigments that were confirmed by histochemical and ultrastructural examinations. Immunohistochemical examination showed a positive immunoreactivity for HMB45 and S-100 protein. A metastatic nodule, which was found 9 months after surgery, showed similar histological findings to those of the primary one but lacked melanin pigments. Reverse transcriptase- polymerase chain reaction using total ribonucleic acid obtained from metastatic nodule demonstrated the presence of EWS-ATF-1 fusion gene. Based on these findings, the present case tumor is a CCS of the colon.

D009418 S100 Proteins A family of highly acidic calcium-binding proteins found in large concentration in the brain and believed to be glial in origin. They are also found in other organs in the body. They have in common the EF-hand motif (EF HAND MOTIFS) found on a number of calcium binding proteins. The name of this family derives from the property of being soluble in a 100% saturated ammonium sulfate solution.
