A rare case of a non-neural granular cell tumor presenting as an enlarging right chest wall nodule in a 4-year-old male and review of the literature.

Non-neural granular cell tumor was first described in 1991 as an unusual primitive, polypoid variant of the conventional granular cell tumor. To date, this neoplasm remains a rare entity and the cell of origin is uncertain. While the histological features are similar to the conventional granular cell tumor, it represents a distinct entity that is negative for S100 and lacks true nerve sheath differentiation.

Neuroendocrine Neoplasia in Extranodal Marginal Zone Lymphoma of Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT Lymphoma) of the Lung: A Case Report and Immunohistochemistry Analysis of Eight Pulmonary MALT Lymphomas.

Carcinoid tumorlets are peribronchiolar proliferations of neuroendocrine cells often associated with lung scars. Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma) is a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that frequently involves the gastrointestinal tract but less commonly is described in the lung. Simultaneous occurrence of neuroendocrine neoplasms and MALT lymphoma is extraordinarily rare and has predominately been reported in the gastrointestinal tract.

Perspectives on Low-grade Sarcomas: The Extraordinary Contributions of Sharon W. Weiss, MD.

Soft-tissue pathology encompasses a wide spectrum of neoplasms that represent some of the most challenging and problematic tumors in surgical pathology. Owing to the intensive work of dedicated pathologists, this once esoteric field has become increasingly well defined. In this review, Dr Sharon Weiss' monumental contributions to low-grade sarcomas, including low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma/so-called hyalinizing spindle cell tumor, atypical lipomatous tumor/well-differentiated liposarcoma and dedifferentiated liposarcoma, epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, and dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans with fibrosarcomatous transformation will be discussed.
