Devil in the Dedifferentiated Details: A Rare Case of Primary Pulmonary Dedifferentiated Liposarcoma.

Primary liposarcoma of the lung is an exceedingly rare phenomenon, with fewer than ten cases reported in prior literature as of 2024. Rarer still, dedifferentiated liposarcoma of pulmonary origin is even less frequently reported, with only two cases having been described. Here, we detail the case of a 66-year-old female who presented with a large left-sided obstructing lung mass and underwent bronchoscopy with tumor cryoprobe debulking.

Inhibiting spinal cord-specific hsp90 isoforms reveals a novel strategy to improve the therapeutic index of opioid treatment.

Opioids are the gold standard for the treatment of chronic pain but are limited by adverse side effects. In our earlier work, we showed that Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) has a crucial role in regulating opioid signaling in spinal cord; Hsp90 inhibition in spinal cord enhances opioid anti-nociception. Building on these findings, we injected the non-selective Hsp90 inhibitor KU-32 by the intrathecal route into male and female CD-1 mice, showing that morphine anti-nociceptive potency was boosted by 1.

-related Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor and rhabdomyosarcoma: An evolving disease with a challenging clinical course and treatment: A case report.

syndrome is a rare genetic disorder predisposing young patients to multiple types of cancer. A 17-year-old woman with a history of mixed Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor and juvenile granulosa cell tumor of the left ovary at age 14 presented with a pelvic mass. She underwent fertility preservation cytoreductive surgery and the pathology showed high-grade sarcoma with rhabdomyosarcomatous differentiation.

Colorectal Carcinoma With Sarcomatoid Components: Report of 15 Cases and Literature Review of an Exceedingly Rare Carcinoma Subtype.

Colorectal carcinoma with sarcomatoid components (which includes so-called carcinosarcomas and sarcomatoid carcinomas) is a rare subtype with 50 reported cases in the literature and overlapping criteria with undifferentiated carcinoma. We collected and described 15 cases from 10 men and 5 women, with a mean age of 66 years. Symptoms included abdominal pain and gastrointestinal bleeding.
