“…Similarly, in a recent series of 31 malignant PEComas subjected to DNA and RNA profiling, 5 (16%) tumors harbored a TFE3 fusion, but were wildtype for TSC1 , TSC2 , and FLCN 79 . Other fusion partners that have been detected include NONO , 79,85‐87 RBMX , 88 PRCC , 79,89 RBM10 , 79 and ZC3H4 , 79 but overall SFPQ/PSF appears to be the most recurring gene associated with TFE3 ‐rearranged PEComas 90 …”

“…5 Other rare gene rearrangements include RAD51B-RRAGB/OPHN1, HTR4-ST3GAL1, and RASSF1-PDZRN3. 4 There is no standard treatment for PEComas given their rarity, but complete excision with follow-up is generally recommended. In cases of malignancy or where complete resection is not possible, chemotherapy can be helpful.…”

“…4,5 Ocular PEComas are rare; only 15 cases of ocular PEComas are reported in the literature. 4 Ocular PEComas usually present as a slow-growing, painless, well-circumscribed mass. In the 15 reported cases, 8 were found in the orbital soft tissue, 5 in intraocular structures, 1 in the eyelid, and 1 in the subconjunctiva; to our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a PEComa located in the fornix.…”

“…60 TFE3 rearrangements have been reported in PEComas (including epithelioid angiomyolipomas) of the genitourinary, 61 gynecologic, 62 and gastrointestinal tracts 63 as well as in other unusual locations. 64,65 The most commonly reported fusions in PEComas are SFPQ::TFE3 , NONO::TFE3 and PRCC::TFE3 (Table 2).…”
