Article Synopsis
- ALK mutations are commonly found in both familial and sporadic cases of neuroblastoma (NB), prompting this study to explore the relationship between ALK expression and various clinical and histopathological features.
- In an examination of 90 NB cases, ALK expression was observed in 91.1% of samples, with 65.6% showing high expression, particularly in samples with MYCN amplification, while undifferentiated subtypes showed lower positivity rates.
- The study concluded that while ALK is highly expressed in NB, this expression does not correlate with many clinical factors, suggesting the need for further research on the role of ALK in disease progression and oncogenesis in this context.
Introduction: Pigmented epithelioid angiomyolipoma is a variant of epithelioid angiomyolipoma (EAML) that has not previously been described in children with tuberous sclerosis.
Case Presentation: A 15-year-old boy with tuberous sclerosis had a rapidly enlarging renal mass associated with a left lung nodule. Microscopically it was a pigmented EAML, confirmed by immunohistochemistry.
