Samenvatting

Histiocytic sarcoma in advanced clinical stages is typically an aggressive neoplasm, with poor response to conventional chemotherapy. An 18-year-old male with refractory histiocytic sarcoma that had transformed from Rosai–Dorfman disease was admitted to our hospital. A pathogenic variant of MAP2K1 was detected by next-generation sequencing of tumor specimens. Affected regions showed excellent responses to the MEK inhibitor trametinib. It has been reported that RAS/MEK/ERK pathway is activated in many cases of histiocytic sarcoma. MEK inhibition may represent a useful treatment option in histiocytic sarcoma.
