case_images: There was prominent mitotic activity and a microscopic vascular invasion (fig. 2).
case_images: FISH-testing revealing SYT gene rearrangement: some cells show a normal signal with yellow fusion signals (orange arrow), reflecting nonrearranged alleles. The majority of cells, however, show a pathological signal pattern with separated orange and green signals (green arrows) indicative of a rearrangement.
