Acute myeloid leukemia cutis with KMT2A::MLLT3 fusion presenting with leonine facies.

A 63-year-old woman presented with plaques covering 60 % body-surface-area and leonine facies. Blood work showed no diagnostic aberrancies. Skin biopsy contained a malignant CD4+/CD56+ mononuclear cell population concerning for blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm.

Sequential and compartmentalized action of Rabs, SNAREs, and MAL in the apical delivery of fusiform vesicles in urothelial umbrella cells.

Uroplakins (UPs) are major differentiation products of urothelial umbrella cells and play important roles in forming the permeability barrier and in the expansion/stabilization of the apical membrane. Further, UPIa serves as a uropathogenic Escherichia coli receptor. Although it is understood that UPs are delivered to the apical membrane via fusiform vesicles (FVs), the mechanisms that regulate this exocytic pathway remain poorly understood.
