Prevalence of JAK 2 v617 Mutations in Malignant and Non-Malignant Tumors in the Eastern Province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Background: Janus kinase II (JAK 2) mutation plays a critical part in the pathophysiology of myeloid pathologies and has been presented to be tangled in thrombotic obstacles of these sicknesses. This study documents the prevalence of JAK 2 v617 mutations in malignant and non-malignant tumors in the Eastern province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Methods: A total of 112 patients were included in the current study between June 2022 and May 2023 at the Molecular Biology Laboratory of the King Fahad Hospital of the University, AlKhobar, Saudi Arabia.

Primary Cutaneous T-Cell/Histiocyte-Rich B-Cell Lymphoma: A Case Report and Literature Review.

T-cell/histiocyte-rich large B-cell lymphoma (THRLBCL) is a lymphoproliferative disorder in which the majority of cells are reactive T cells with only a minor population of neoplastic large B cells. THRLBCL is a very rare lymphoma, and most cases are nodal THRLBCL; an extranodal case of THRLBCL presenting primarily on the skin is an extremely rare occurrence with only a few cases reported in the literature. Here, we report a case of a primary cutaneous THRLBCL in a 41-year-old Saudi male who presented unusually with multiple skin lesions.

Mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) - like exogenous sequences are associated with sporadic but not hereditary human breast carcinoma.

The inheritance of mutated suppressor genes, such as BRCA1 and BRCA2, is acknowledged as an etiological factor in hereditary breast carcinoma (HBC). Two different molecular mechanisms are possible; the Knudson's "two hits" or the gene haploinsufficiency. Etiology of sporadic breast carcinoma (SBC) is not known, although data support the possible role of the betaretrovirus Mouse Mammary Tumor Virus (MMTV).

BRAF gene mutations in synchronous papillary thyroid carcinoma and Langerhans cell histiocytosis co-existing in the thyroid gland: a case report and literature review.

Background: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare clonal disease, characterized by hyperproliferation of Langerhans cells. It may rarely involve the thyroid gland. Its association with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is extremely rare; with only few case reports available in the English literature.

Homologous G776G Variant of Gene is Linked to Vitamin B12 Deficiency.

Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin) deficiency, due to improper internalization of cobalamin, is a metabolic disorder prevalent in impoverished and elderly populations and is associated with megaloblastic anemia and dementia. It has been suggested that mutations in transcobalamin II () or gastric intrinsic factor (GIF) proteins can alter their binding efficiency to cobalamin or reduce the ability of their receptors to internalize them. In this case-control study, the correlation between vitamin B12 deficiency and alternative alleles of and was investigated in a Jordanian population.

Primary paranasal sinus hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma: a case report.

Background: Hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma (HCCC) is a rare low-grade tumour of salivary glands that was first described as a distinct entity in 1994 by Milchgrub et al. EWSR1-ATF1 fusion was found to be specific for this tumour. The majority of the reported cases of HCCC arise from minor salivary glands within the oral cavity.

Malignant gastrointestinal neuroectodermal tumor: a case report and review of the literature.

Background: Malignant gastrointestinal neuroectodermal tumor (GNET) is an extremely rare entity that was first described by Zambrano et al. in 2003 as "Clear cell sarcoma-like tumor of the gastrointestinal tract". It shares some of the histological features of clear cell sarcoma (CCS) but lacks the immunohistochemical reactivity for melanocytic markers.
