Case report: STRN3-NTRK3 fusion in uterine sarcoma with spleen metastasis: a new variant in the spectrum of NTRK-rearranged tumors.

Neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) fusions are infrequent genetic events that can occur in various tumor types. Specifically, NTRK-rearranged sarcoma has been observed in pediatric mesenchymal tumors and, to a lesser extent, in adult mesenchymal tumors like fibrosarcoma. Recently, NTRK-rearranged uterine sarcoma (US) has been identified as a rare entity characterized by constitutive activation or overexpression of the TRK receptor, which plays a role in cell proliferation and differentiation.

Non-palpable Pulmonary Nodules and Uniportal-VATS: Radio-guided Localization (ROLL) Experience of a Lung Multidisciplinary Team.

Background/aim: Surgical resection with a minimally invasive approach is the standard for diagnosing and treating solitary pulmonary nodules. A computed tomography (CT)-guided technetium-macroaggregated albumin (Tc-MAA) injection-based procedure has been employed for small and non-palpable lung nodule radio-guided preoperative localization (ROLL). This procedure is usually followed by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS).

Metastatic clear cell sarcoma of the pancreas: A sporadic cancer.

Primary or secondary clear cell sarcoma of the pancreas is an exceedingly rare and aggressive disease. In addition to pathology, molecular analysis is pivotal in differential diagnosis, especially with malignant melanoma. A key aspect in identifying clear cell sarcoma is specific genetic alterations, notably the translocation of t(12;22) (q13;q13), a diagnostic hallmark of this sarcoma subtype, which is absent in malignant melanoma.

Co-existing Neuroendocrine Tumors in the Ileum and Pancreas: A Clinico-Pathological Challenge.

Ileal (I) and pancreatic (Pan) neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are among the most common digestive neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs). Coexisting NETs at both sites are rare, and establishing the primary or metastatic nature of the two lesions may be crucial for the appropriate treatment. We reviewed all the clinical reports of patients with INETs or PanNETs, diagnosed and treated in our ENETS Center of Excellence between 2012 and 2022.
