EWSR1/FUS-CREB, YY1, MAP3K8, NR4A3, and ALK-rearranged proliferations have been reported in limited series with no clear histological or clinical correlations, limiting clinicians' ability to assess prognosis and integrate these new entities into therapeutic decisions. The aim of this study was to better characterize these rearranged proliferations histologically, molecularly, and clinically.

- * The results showed that both groups had similar levels of competence, but specialists were better at identifying subtle cases, and there were no significant differences in error rates based on time of day.
- * Findings indicated a notable number of missed and overcalled cases, underlining the importance of double readings and improved training in radiology, particularly in certain musculoskeletal regions with lower sensitivity and specificity.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the non-perfused volume (NPV) changes following heat-based prostate ablation therapy in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), primary prostate cancer (PCa), and radiorecurrent PCa.
- Results show significant differences in NPV reduction among the groups at three and six months, with BPH showing a notable decrease while radiorecurrent PCa's NPV slightly increased.
- The findings indicate that necrotic tissue resolution is slower in previously irradiated tissue, which may contribute to increased treatment toxicity, but by 12 months, most necrotic tissue had resolved across all groups.
We have previously hypothesized that well-differentiated papillary mesothelial tumor (WDPMT) consists of 2 morphologically identical lesions, one of which is true WDPMT, while the other is a form of mesothelioma in situ. Here, we report 8 examples of the latter phenomenon, 3 with pleural disease (2 men/1 woman, ages 66 to 78 y); and 5 with peritoneal disease (all women, ages 31 to 81 y). At presentation the pleural cases all had effusions but no evidence of pleural tumor on imaging.
