Article Synopsis
  • Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a rare type of cancer, primarily found in genitourinary tissues, commonly linked to the SS18::SSX gene fusion, and its paratesticular occurrence is extremely uncommon, with only 4 documented cases prior to this study.
  • This research details the characteristics and genetic profile of the largest cohort of paratesticular SS patients, analyzing data from 14 individuals aged 15 to 47, all of whom underwent surgical removal of the tumors and some received chemotherapy.
  • The findings indicate a generally poor prognosis for paratesticular SS even after aggressive treatment, emphasizing the need for thorough diagnostic methods to differentiate it from similar conditions, and supporting the use of SS18-SS

The occurrence of fumarate hydratase-deficient leiomyoma of the abdominal wall is exceptionally rare. A 50-year-old female patient with a past medical history of fumarate hydratase-deficient uterine leiomyoma presented with a left lower quadrant abdominal mass that has been present for the past 2 years. An ultrasound revealed a 3.

The association among Langerhans cell histiocytosis, hematolymphoid malignancies, and heavy smoking has been addressed in medical literature to identify a possible potential link. Such occurrence can pose diagnostic challenges, as well as important clinical implications for disease progression and treatment approaches. We present pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis instance in a 35-year-old male patient, with a 34-pack-year smoking history and nodular sclerosing Hodgkin lymphoma stage IIB who developed multiple bilateral lung nodules.

Background: Cutaneous syncytial myoepithelioma (CSM) is an uncommon and distinct variant of cutaneous myoepithelioma. We aim to present a case of CSM to enhance the recognition of this unique variant, encompassing its clinical characteristics, histopathological features, immunohistochemical staining, and therapeutic approaches.

Case Presentation: A 10-year-old girl presented with a dome-shaped nodule located on the skin of her left medial distal arm.

Sebaceous carcinoma in situ outside the ocular region is an exceedingly uncommon. It is an intraepidermal neoplasm originating from sebaceous glands limited to the epidermis with no invasion into the underlying dermis or beyond. Although sebaceous carcinoma in situ is predominantly observed in ocular regions, particularly the eyelids, instances of its occurrence in extraocular locations are infrequent, with only a limited number of examples reported in the literature.

Article Synopsis
  • - Atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX) is a rare, low-grade skin tumor characterized by unusual features, including the presence of osteoclast-like giant cells, with fewer than 20 documented cases.
  • - A 77-year-old man with a history of skin cancers presented with a growing scalp nodule; biopsy revealed AFX with giant cells and specific immunohistochemical markers.
  • - Despite concerning histological features, AFX typically has a good prognosis, with low recurrence rates and very rare instances of metastasis, underlining the importance of proper diagnosis from other skin lesions.

Objectives: Penile squamous cell carcinomas (PCs) are rare malignancies with a dismal prognosis in a metastatic setting; therefore, novel immunotherapeutic modalities are an unmet need. One such modality is the immune checkpoint molecule programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1). We sought to analyze PD-L1 expression and its correlation with various clinicopathologic parameters in a contemporary cohort of 134 patients with PC.

Background: The distinction among cutaneous basaloid neoplasms such as trichoepithelioma (TE), desmoplastic trichoepithelioma (DTE), morpheaform basal cell carcinoma (MBCC), and microcystic adnexal carcinoma (MAC) can be difficult, especially in superficial biopsies. As the treatment plan of each entity is different, accurate characterization is important for appropriate management. While TE and DTE are benign neoplasms with indolent behavior, MBCC and MAC are typically locally aggressive.
