Tracheal obstruction can arise from multiple conditions, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, foreign bodies, tumors, and acute heart failure. We report a case of a 43-year-old man with cervical liposarcoma who, following surgical excision, chemotherapy, and radiation, presented with severe dyspnea and was admitted to our hospital. A CT scan detected an endotracheal mass causing significant obstruction, suspected to be malignant.

Article Synopsis
  • Malignant psoas syndrome is caused by tumor infiltration of the psoas muscle, leading to severe, challenging pain management with no established definitive treatments.
  • A case study of a Japanese man in his 60s showed ineffective pain relief with various medications, prompting the use of palliative radiation therapy.
  • Radiation therapy effectively reduced pain early on and showed no adverse effects, suggesting it should be considered as a viable treatment option for malignant psoas syndrome.

Article Synopsis
  • Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) show altered DNA methylation patterns, suggesting these changes could be used as specific biomarkers for NF1 patient screening.
  • Researchers conducted a study involving DNA methylation profiling from tumor and adjacent tissue samples of 13 MPNST patients, finding 73 candidate CpGs that could distinguish MPNSTs from neurofibromas.
  • Five validated biomarkers demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity in tissue detection, and higher methylation levels were observed in plasma tests, indicating potential for early detection of MPNST in NF1 patients.
