Clinical pancreatic islet xenotransplantation will most probably rely on genetically modified pigs as donors. Several lines of transgenic pigs carrying one and more often, multiple modifications already exist. The vast majority of these modifications aim to mitigate the host immune response by suppressing major xeno-antigens, or expressing immunomodulatory molecules that act locally at the graft site.

Various space occupying lesions can arise in the orbit, ranging from developmental anomalies to malignancies, and many of the diseases occurring in children are different from the pathologies in the adult population. As the clinical presentation is frequently nonspecific, radiologic evaluation is essential for lesion detection and characterization as well as patient management. While orbital masses may in some cases involve multiple compartments, a simple compartmental approach is the key for the diagnosis on imaging studies, and MRI is the modality of choice.

Background: Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a rare form of non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis with diverse clinical manifestations, often associated with mutations in the mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MAPK/ERK) pathway. BRAF and KRAS mutations, which are driver mutations of oncogenes, participate in the same signaling pathway (MAPK/ERK pathway) and are usually mutually exclusive. We report a case of ECD with concurrent BRAF and KRAS mutations treated using BRAF and MEK inhibitors.
