Overview

The section on mesenchymal tumors in 5th edition of WHO classification of skin tumors has undergone several changes, the most important of which, as usual, is the inclusion of newly identified tumor entities, which will be the main focus of this review article. These specifically include three novel cutaneous mesenchymal tumors with melanocytic differentiation, and rearrangements of the CRTC1::TRIM11, ACTIN::MITF, and MITF::CREM genes. In addition, EWSR1::SMAD3-rearranged fibroblastic tumors, superficial CD34-positive fibroblastic tumors, and NTRK-rearranged spindle cell neoplasms were newly included. Of the other changes, only the most important ones will be briefly mentioned
