Article Synopsis
- Hyaluronan acid and its receptors (CD168/RHAMM and CD44) are linked to tumor growth and invasion, but their expression in pediatric leukemias is not well-studied.
- The study analyzed bone marrow biopsies from pediatric leukemia patients, assessing RHAMM expression and correlating it with factors like initial blast count, post-induction blast count, and patient survival.
- Results showed a moderate correlation between RHAMM expression and post-induction blast count in acute myeloid leukemia, with higher RHAMM positivity indicating a poorer prognosis in both types of acute leukemia analyzed.
Mammary Paget disease is an uncommon malignancy of the breast that presents with ulceration or eczema of the nipple and is almost always associated with an underlying breast carcinoma. This disease is most commonly seen in the fifth and sixth decades of life and is almost always unilateral.
