Duplication of the cervical esophagus: a case report and review of the literature.

Pediatr Radiol

Department of Radiology, U.C. Davis Children's Hospital and University of California, Davis, Health Sciences Center, 4860 Y St. Suite 3100, Sacramento, CA 95817, USA.

Published: July 2002

This report describes a newborn with a cervical esophageal duplication cyst, a rare developmental anomaly of the neck. Only a few cases of this cystic entity have been described in the literature to date. This case is unique in that the patient had an air-fluid level within the lesion as a result of communication of the duplication cyst with the native esophagus.

Background: A number of genetic aberrations are associated with the BCL6-correpresor gene (BCOR), including internal tandem duplications (ITDs) and gene fusions (BCOR::CCNB3 and BCOR::MAML3), as well as YWHAE::NUTM2, which are found in clear cell sarcoma of the kidney (CCSK), sarcoma with BCOR genetic alterations, primitive myxoid mesenchymal tumor of infancy, and high-grade neuroepithelial tumors in children. Detecting these gene aberrations is crucial for tumor diagnosis. ITDs can be identified by Sanger sequencing or agarose gel electrophoresis.

To investigate the clinicopathological and genetic features of infantile rhabdomyofibrosarcoma (IRFS) with EGFR kinase domain duplication (EGFR-KDD). The clinical, morphological and immunohistochemical features of three IRFS with EGFR-KDD diagnosed from January 2022 to January 2024 at Department of Pathology, Foshan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Foshan, China were retrospectively analyzed using PCR or next generation sequencing technique; and related literature was reviewed. There were 1 male and 2 females, aged at presentation ranging from 1 to 4 years.

Vertebrate TNF Superfamily: Evolution and Functional Insights.

Biology (Basel)

January 2025

Instituto de Biomedicina de Valencia, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (IBV-CSIC), 46010 Valencia, Spain.

This study characterizes the evolution of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily (TNFSF) across vertebrate lineages, both cyclostomes and gnathostomes, by combining sequence similarity and synteny data for the genes from 23 model species. The available evidence supports a simple model in which most of the diversity found in living species can be attributed to the expansion of four genes found in an ancestor of all vertebrates before the first of the genome duplications that occurred in the vertebrate lineages. It is inferred that the ancestor of all cyclostomes possessed only six TNFSF genes.

Low-grade mucinous neoplasm originating from intestinal duplication: a case report and review of the literature.

World J Surg Oncol

January 2025

Cancer Center, Department of Pathology, Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital, Affiliated People's Hospital, Hangzhou Medical College, 158 Shangtang Road, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, 310014, China.

Background: Low-grade mucinous neoplasms typically originate from the appendix and are characterized by a lining of low-grade mucus-secreting columnar epithelial cells and smooth muscle. However, atypical origins can occur, as demonstrated in this case report.

Case Presentation: We present a case involving a 33-year-old male who, upon physical examination, was found to have an abdominal mass.
