Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Epithelioid fibrous histiocytoma (EFH) is a type of uncommon skin tumor mostly harboring Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase () gene rearrangement, with different fusion partners reported. Whether this tumor is a separate entity or has a relationship with conventional fibrous histiocytomas is still a matter of debate. Benign course is the rule after complete surgical excision. A rare subtype of EFH with fusiform cells has been described, with specific fusion partners. Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a type of soft tissue tumor rarer than EFH, and it can display distant metastases. Some cases of primary cutaneous IMT included two with Cysteinyl-tRNA Synthetase 1 ()- rearrangement. IMT can have the same fusion partners as EFH, such as , or genes. We report the case of a 42-year-old woman presenting EFH with fusiform morphology harboring fusion and discuss similarities and differences with IMT.
