This disease predominantly affects middle-aged men, with bone and parosteal soft tissues being the most common involved extramedullary site. Such patients may constitute a biologically distinct subgroup and, in some reports, have shown relatively favorable outcomes. However, our cases follow an aggressive clinical course, possibly influenced by high-risk molecular features. Large-scale clinical studies are required to clarify the biological heterogeneity of this subgroup and to optimize therapeutic strategies.<\/jats:p>\n
