Morphological and immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis of bone marrow biopsies (BMB) is routinely performed during staging of patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Aiming to evaluate the possible diagnostic value of flow cytometry (FC) on bone marrow aspirates (BMA), as compared with BMB, we retrospectively reviewed BMA specimen of 354 NHL. In 305 cases (86.

Lung adenocarcinomas are characterized by a variety of genetic and epigenetic changes that lead to activation of specific signaling pathways. This allowed the classification of lung adenocarcinomas according to genetic alterations and the clinical development of novel anticancer agents that affect the activity of specific oncoproteins. In such a context, chromosomal rearrangements that cause constitutive activation of ALK gene define a category of lung adenocarcinomas that is amenable to targeted therapy with ALK inhibitors.

- Nocardiosis is a rare skin infection typically occurring at the site of recent injuries, caused by the Nocardia bacterium found in soil.
- A case described a 68-year-old woman with a nocardial infection in the vulva, linked to her previous treatment for a vulvar leiomyosarcoma, leading to severe tissue necrosis and requiring extensive surgeries.
- This case is significant as it's the first reported instance of primary vulvar nocardiosis, which can mimic the appearance of advanced vulvar cancer, necessitating aggressive surgical intervention.
