[Bone and soft tissue Langerhans cell histiocytosis with multinucleated giant cells and BRAF V600E mutation].

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a heterogeneous disease characterized by proliferation of Langerhans cells and BRAF mutation in almost half of the cases. Bone involvement is common but large soft tissue disease is uncommon. We report a pediatric patient with a large tumor mass involving the left iliac bone and the adjacent soft tissue.

[Extraovarian granulosa cell tumor with FOXL2 mutation. Morphological and immunohistochemical differential diagnosis].

Extraovarian granulosa cell tumor is a very uncommon tumor and the identification of a recurrent mutation in FOXL2 may be used as another diagnostic tool along with the classical morphological and immunohistochemical findings. Here, we report a new case of extraovarian granulosa cell tumor in a 57 years old female patient presented with a sub-hepatic mass and abdominal pain. Histopathological examination of the excised mass showed features of adult-type granulosa cell tumor with α-inhibin, calretinin, WT1, S100, CD99 and progesterone receptor immunoreactivity.

Controversial issues in soft tissue solitary fibrous tumors: A pathological and molecular review.

The clinical evolution of solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) remains unclear. Although various clinical, morphological and molecular criteria may indicate increased risk of malignancy, some SFT can still progress despite having a clearly benign appearance. Various risk stratification systems have been proposed, but unfortunately they are not sufficient to precisely determine the malignant potential.

Solitary fibrous tumor: a case series identifying pathological adverse factors-implications for risk stratification and classification.

Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are a rare type of mesenchymal lesion in which specific clinicopathologic factors have been related to patient outcome. We collected clinical, pathological, and molecular data of 28 patients with histologically confirmed SFT having at least one pathological factor associated with aggressive behavior. Molecular analysis to detect NAB2/STAT6 gene fusion, TP53, and/or TERT promoter mutation was performed.

Sinonasal Tract Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma in Adults: A Clinicopathologic and Immunophenotypic Study of Fifty-Two Cases with Emphasis on Epithelial Immunoreactivity.

Sinonasal tract (SNT) alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) are frequently misdiagnosed, especially in adults. Fifty-two adult (≥18 years) patients with SNT ARMS were reviewed and characterized by immunohistochemistry and molecular studies. Twenty-six females and 26 males (18-72 years; mean 43.
