Article Abstract

We present a rare case of a fibromatosis-like myofibroblastic tumour of the forearm with infiltration of muscular, neural, and vascular structures. This is a rare and transitional type of myofibroblastic tumour, and we emphasise important aspects of diagnosis, clinical features, interdisciplinary management, and differential diagnoses.

Renal pseudotumors, which mimic tumors on imaging, pose diagnostic challenges that can lead to unnecessary interventions. Sensing ultrasound localization microscopy (sULM) is an advanced imaging technique that uses ultrasound imaging and microbubbles as sensors to visualize kidney functional units. This study aims to investigate whether sULM could differentiate between renal pseudotumors and tumors based on the presence of glomeruli.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare tumor type with a prognosis ranging from benign to locally aggressive. Initially described as a reactive lesion most commonly of the lungs, cases of IMT have now been reported in rare instances in the head and neck, which may be more aggressive than other tumor locations. IMT frequently afflicts children and adolescents, but pediatric cases of IMT in the head and neck region are rare.

Neutrophils are the most abundant cell type in the airways of tuberculosis patients. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection induces the release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs); however, the molecular regulation and impact of NET release on Mtb pathogenesis are unknown. We find that during Mtb infection in neutrophils, PAD4 citrullinates histones to decondense chromatin that gets released as NETs in a manner that can maintain neutrophil viability and promote Mtb replication.
