pulmonary NUT-associated midline carcinoma

These tumors are diffusely positive for p63 and NUT expression and are partially positive for various cytokeratins.

Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction analysis and subsequent direct sequencing reveal that the bromodomain-containing protein 4-NUT chimeric gene is present in tumor tissue of both patients, leading to a diagnosis of NMC.
