After a critical review of the literature and an enquiry based on 70 cases, the author confirms that osteogenic sarcomas and fibrosarcomas constitute the usual means of sarcomatous degeneration in bones affected by Paget's disease. Giant-cell tumours present a distinct group. The problems posed by the initial stages of the malignant transformation and the osteosarcomas with multiple centres are then discussed.

Article Synopsis
- * A study analyzed 248 schwannoma cases over six years, with 25 identified as ancient schwannoma, evaluating their histological features through light microscopy.
- * The findings revealed significant features like nuclear atypia and cystic changes in tumors from various locations, highlighting the need for careful histomorphological assessment to correctly diagnose and manage these tumors.
Pleomorphic Liposarcoma Cytologically Detected in Hemosiderotic Pleural Effusion: Pitfalls Mitigated by Cytologic Clues and Cellblock Immunocytochemistry.

December 2024
Cytology Unit, Dubai Hospital, Dubai, UAE.
Article Synopsis
- Sarcomatous serous effusions are rare and difficult to diagnose, especially cases involving dedifferentiated and pleomorphic liposarcomas that can mimic other tumors like carcinoma and mesothelioma.
- A case study describes a 56-year-old man with a large pleural effusion, where cytological analysis revealed highly abnormal tumor cells mixed with macrophages and other components, complicating diagnosis.
- Ultimately, a tissue biopsy confirmed the cytologic diagnosis of pleomorphic liposarcoma, highlighting the importance of detailed cytologic evaluation and the utility of cellblock techniques combined with immunocytochemical analysis.
Primary leiomyosarcoma of the uterine cervix: an unusual case and critical appraisal.

Department of Urology, Peking University Third Hospital, Haidian District, Beijing, 100191, People's Republic of China.
Background: Targeted therapy combined with immunotherapy is the current first-line treatment for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC), but patients with tumor thrombus (TT) may suffer from lower limb edema or even sudden cardiac death, so the purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of surgical treatment in patients with mRCC and TT and explore worse factors to affect the prognosis in this series of patients.
Patients And Methods: A total of 85 mRCC patients with TT who received cytoreductive nephrectomy and thrombectomy at our medical center from 2014 to 2023 are included. All patients received postoperative systemic therapy.
Malignant Sarcomatous Degeneration of Craniofacial Fibrous Dysplasia.
J Craniofac Surg
September 2022
Medstar Georgetown University Hospital, Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Washington, DC.
Background: Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is an uncommon bone disease characterized by the replacement of normal bone architecture with abnormal fibro-osseous connective tissue. Here, we discuss 2 cases of craniofacial FD, with malignant sarcomatous degeneration - a rare and morbid complication of the disease.
Case History: Two cases of craniofacial FD with malignant degeneration are presented.
