Prognostic analysis of extrameningeal solitary fibrous tumor using the modified Demicco model: a clinicopathologic study of 111 Chinese cases.

Introduction: Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) represents a fibroblastic neoplasm exhibiting gene rearrangement, displaying diverse clinical manifestations, spanning from benign to malignant. To predict prognosis, the modified (four-variable) Demicco (mDemicco) model was introduced. This investigation aims to authenticate the mDemicco risk model's precision in Asian patients while investigating the clinicopathological and molecular factors linked to the prognosis of extrameningeal SFTs.

dedifferentiated SDH-deficient gastrointestinal stromal tumor with MDM2 amplification: case report and literature review.

The dedifferentiation of the gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) has been reported in a small number of cases, usually under the pressure of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment. Herein, we described a dedifferentiated GIST with the SDH deficiency in a 32-year-old Chinese woman. The tumor was located on the lesser curvature of the gastric antrum, measuring 4.

Case report: -rearranged spindle and epithelioid cell neoplasms with S100 and CD34 co-expression: Additional evidence of kinase fusion-positive soft tissue tumors.

rearrangements have rarely been reported in S100- and CD34-co-expressing soft tissue neoplasms with lipofibromatosis-like neural tumor (LPFNT) pattern or stromal and perivascular hyalinization, mimicking -rearranged spindle cell tumors. Here, we reported fusions involving related partner genes in two adult soft tissue tumors with S100 and CD34 co-expression, and conducted a literature review of mesenchymal tumors harboring or other kinase fusions. Case 1 was a 25-year-old female who underwent excision of a soft tissue mass in the anterior thigh region.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor arising from soft tissues of extremities harboring a novel CLIP2-ALK fusion.

A 34-year-old Chinese woman found a lump in her left leg for more than 3 weeks without any discomfort. Grossly, the tumor was relatively well delineated with focal infiltration. Histopathologic evaluation showed a compact fascicular spindle cell proliferation with variable myxoid and collagenous stroma and scattered inflammatory infiltrate.

A low-grade malignant soft tissue tumor with S100 and CD34 co-expression showing novel CDC42SE2-BRAF fusion with distinct features.

Recently, a novel group of spindle cell tumors defined by S100 and CD34 co-expression harboring recurrent fusions involving RET, RAF1, BRAF, and NTRK1/2 gene has been identified. Morphologically, they are characterized by monomorphic neoplasm cells, "patternless" growth pattern, stromal, and perivascular hyalinization, lacked necrosis. We reported a 52-year-old Chinese female patient with a S100 and CD34 co-expression sarcoma presenting in the right proximal forearm.

CD30 expression and its correlation with MYC and BCL2 in de novo diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Aim: CD30+ diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) has emerged as a new immunophenotypic variant of DLBCLs. However, the prevalence of CD30 positivity is variable according to different studies, and the prognostic significance of CD30 is also controversial. This study aimed to investigate the positive expression rate and prognostic impact of CD30 in DLBCLs and try to find the correlated influences.

Tacrolimus Reverses UVB Irradiation-Induced Epidermal Langerhans Cell Reduction by Inhibiting TNF-α Secretion in Keratinocytes via Regulation of NF-κB/p65.

Topical calcineurin inhibitors including tacrolimus and pimecrolimus are used in the treatment of many inflammatory skin diseases mainly via blocking T-cell proliferation. Our previous studies found that pimecrolimus 1% cream could reverse high-dose ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation-induced epidermal Langerhans cell (LC) reduction via inhibition of LC migration. We conducted this study to investigate the effects of topical tacrolimus 0.

The distinct clinical features and prognosis of the CD10⁺MUM1⁺ and CD10⁻Bcl6⁻MUM1⁻ diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Using an immunohistochemistry (IHC) based method, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) can be classified into germinal center B-cell (GCB) and non-GCB subtypes. However, the prognostic value of Hans algorithm was contradictory in the literature. Using IHC and fluorescence in situ hybridization, we analyzed the antibodies applied in Hans algorithm and other genetic factors in 601 DLBCL patients and prognostic value of Hans algorithm in 306 cases who were treated with chemoimmunotherapy.

MYC or BCL2 copy number aberration is a strong predictor of outcome in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Patients with DLBCL harboring MYC aberrations concurrent with BCL2 or/and BCL6 aberrations constitute a specific group with extremely poor outcome. In this study, we retrospectively investigated the incidence and prognosis of MYC, BCL2, and BCL6 aberrations with DLBCL patients in Chinese population.

Immunohistochemical algorithm alone is not enough for predicting the outcome of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma treated with R-CHOP.

Gene expression profiling (GEP), which can divide DLBCL into three groups, is impractical to perform routinely. Although algorithms based on immunohistochemistry (IHC) have been proposed as a surrogate for GEP analysis, the power of them has diminished since rituximab added to the chemotherapy. We assessed the prognostic value of four conventional algorithms and the genes in each and out of algorithm by IHC and fluorescence in situ hybridization in DLBCL patients receiving immunochemotherapy.

[Progressive transformation of lymph node germinal centers: a case report and literature review.].

Objective: To improve the understanding of progressive transformation of lymph node germinal centers (PTGC) and to explore its clinical, histopathologic and immunohistochemical features and the differential diagnosis between the related disease of germinal center hyperplasia.

Methods: The clinical manifestation, laboratory bindings, treatment and outcome of a patient with PTGC were presented.

Results: The main manifestation of the patient was painless peripheral lymphadenopathy.

[Clinicopathologic characteristics of hemangiopericytoma/solitary fibrous tumor with giant cells].

Objective: To study the pathological characteristics, diagnosis and differential diagnoses of hemangiopericytoma-solitary fibrous tumor with giant cells.

Methods: Pathological characteristics of seven cases of orbital and extraorbital hemangiopericytoma-solitary fibrous tumors with giant cells were evaluated by HE and immunohistochemistry (EnVision method).

Results: Two cases were located in the orbit, one of which had recurred.
