Background

STAT 6 (Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 6) is a member of the STAT family of transcription factors. Gene fusion of NGFI-A binding protein 2 (NAB 2) with STAT 6, which converts the transcriptional repressor NAB 2 into a transcriptional activator, was detected as driver mutation in solitary fibrous tumors (SFT). The NAB 2-STAT 6 fusion shows a consistent nuclear reallocation in STAT 6 immunohistochemistry. STAT 6 is a highly sensitive and specific immunohistochemical marker for most SFT and can be helpful to distinguish this tumor type from histologic mimics.
Although considered to be a distinct entity from meningeal SFT in the WHO Classification of CNS Tumours (2007), nuclear STAT 6 expression is additionally found in meningeal hemangiopericytoma (HPC). STAT 6 is a reliable marker to distinguish meningeal solitary fibrous tumors-hemangiopericytomas versus meningiomas.
