In the present paper, two cases of malignant transformation of renal angiomyolipoma without tuberous sclerosis are reported. Pathological examination revealed that, in both cases, in addition to the areas affected by typical angiomyolipoma, there were areas that contained elevated numbers of perivascular epithelioid cells with prominent nuclear pleomorphism. Immunohistochemical examination revealed that both cases were negative for keratin and epithelial membrane antigen, but were positive for the melanogenesis-related marker HMB-45. Metastatic diseases appeared 40 months after radical nephrectomy in the first case and 18 months in the second case.

Aim Of The Study: Hepatocellular adenoma (HCA) and focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) are benign liver tumors. Hepatocellular adenoma has potential for growth, metaplasia and rupture; therefore, it should be monitored long term. In the current guidelines biopsy is not recommended in the standard diagnostic protocol.

BACKGROUND Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) encompasses a group of disorders ranging from hyperplastic to malignant lymphoid proliferations in the post-transplant period owing to immunosuppression, often in the setting of EBV transformation. PTLD is a rare complication of immunosuppression that, like lymphomas, can have a variable presentation based on disease localization. We report a case of PTLD mass effect at the porta hepatis for the first time in the literature, resulting in hepatic artery stenosis (HAS) and common hepatic duct obstruction.

Primary intraosseous carcinoma (PIOC) is a rare and challenging jawbone malignancy often linked to odontogenic cysts. With minimal connection to oral mucosa and a low incidence rate, PIOC presents significant diagnostic difficulties, often mimicking other odontogenic lesions. Histogenesis and the correct classification of the lesion remains debated, with theories suggesting origins from odontogenic epithelium or cysts.

Cuproptosis shows great prospects in cancer treatments. However, insufficient intracellular copper amount, low-level redox homeostasis, and hypoxic tumor microenvironment severely restrict cuproptosis efficacy. Herein, hydrazided hyaluronan-templated decorated CuO-doxorubicin (CuDT) nanodot clusters (NCs) are developed for efficient doxorubicin (DOX)-sensitized cuproptosis therapy in breast cancer via a three-pronged strategy.

Patients with benzene-induced leukemia undergo a continuous transformation from myelosuppression to malignant proliferation. However, the underlying mechanisms in this process remain unknown. Our previous studies have shown that the pathways involved in self-renewal capacity of bone marrow (BM) cells in Mll-Af9 mice exposed to benzene for life are significantly activated after severe blood toxicity.
