Figure 1 (A) Anaplastic lymphoma kinase immunohistochemistry (clone 5A4, Novocastra [Leica Biosystems, Amsterdam, the Netherlands]) was performed on tissue showing a strong staining of the tumor cells. (B) Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis (Vysis LSI ALK Dual Colour, Break Apart Rearrangement Probe [Vysis, Downers Grove, IL]) showed more than 95% fusion-negative tumor cells.

Figure 2 Schematic of the two anaplastic lymphoma receptor tyrosine kinase gene (ALK) rearrangements is shown. First, an echinoderm microtubule associated protein like 4 gene (EML4)-ALK gene fusion is formed, followed by a second double-strand break forming a WD repeat domain 43 gene (WDR43)-ALK gene fusion. Genomic distances are indicated at the top. The position of the 5′ fluorescence in situ hybridization probe is represented by the green bar and the 3′ probe by the red bar. Bold arrows indicate genomic rearrangements. Fine arrows indicate sense and antisense orientation of the respective gene.
