Patients with histiocytic sarcoma often present with systemic symptoms such as fatigue, weight loss and fever. Additional clinical manifestations are often related to site(s) of disease involvement. Some patients may come to clinical attention with a palpable mass or from organ compression by the malignant mass. Skin lesions may range from a minor rash to multiple tumors on the trunk and extremities. Gastrointestinal involvement may present with intestinal obstruction. Lytic lesions may arise from bone involvement. Hepatosplenomegaly is also described. Cytopenias are found in about a third of patients, with hemophagocytosis seen on bone marrow evaluation in a small fraction of patients. Additionally, histiocytic sarcoma may present in the setting of another hematologic neoplasm such as follicular lymphoma, acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, mantle cell lymphoma, hairy cell leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia or MALT lymphoma. <ref name=":1" /><ref name=":3" /><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Zhang|first=Da|last2=McGuirk|first2=Joseph|last3=Ganguly|first3=Siddhartha|last4=Persons|first4=Diane L.|date=2009-05|title=Histiocytic/dendritic cell sarcoma arising from follicular lymphoma involving the bone: a case report and review of literature|url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19343479|journal=International Journal of Hematology|volume=89|issue=4|pages=529–532|doi=10.1007/s12185-009-0300-y|issn=1865-3774|pmid=19343479}}</ref><ref name=":5">{{Cite journal|last=Hure|first=Michelle C.|last2=Elco|first2=Christopher P.|last3=Ward|first3=David|last4=Hutchinson|first4=Lloyd|last5=Meng|first5=Xiuling|last6=Dorfman|first6=David M.|last7=Yu|first7=Hongbo|date=2012-02-10|title=Histiocytic sarcoma arising from clonally related mantle cell lymphoma|url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22184374|journal=Journal of Clinical Oncology: Official Journal of the American Society of Clinical Oncology|volume=30|issue=5|pages=e49–53|doi=10.1200/JCO.2011.38.8553|issn=1527-7755|pmid=22184374}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Alvaro|first=T.|last2=Bosch|first2=R.|last3=Salvadó|first3=M.

Histiocytic sarcoma is a very rare neoplasm and very little is known about the genetic landscape of this malignancy. Reports on the clinical significance of genomic alterations are scarce and limited to case reports and case series, limiting the ability to draw conclusions regarding their prognostic and therapeutic significance.

''BRAF'' mutations (V600E and non-V600E) have been identified in a subset of patients with histiocytic sarcoma. Additionally, a study in which targeted next-generation sequencing was performed on 28 cases, reported recurrent mutations in the MAP kinase pathway (including ''KRAS, NRAS, MAP2K1, BRAF, PTPN11, NF1, CBL''), and the PI3K signaling pathway (including ''PTEN, MTOR, PIK2R1, PIK3CA''). Also, some cases, mostly those with a prior diagnosis of B-cell lymphoma, harbored a mutational signature of “aberrant somatic hypermutation” with mutations in genes such as ''BCL6, BCL2, CIITA, MYC, SOCS1, PAX5''. In this study, ''CDNK2A'' was the most commonly altered gene (13/28, 46%). The authors identified a mean coding mutational burden of 3.56/Mb in their cohort, a number that is relatively low as compared with other malignancies.<ref name=":7" /> In another series reporting on 21 cases of primary HS investigated with whole-exome sequencing and RNA sequencing, Egan et al identified a high frequency of alterations within the RAS/RAF/MAPK pathway (such as ''NF1, PTPN11, MAP2K1, NRAS, KRAS'').<ref name=":6" />
