Adenocarcinoma with osteoblastic metastases is classically seen in prostate, breast, and lung primaries. Less common primary sites include thyroid, kidney, and stomach. We present two cases of primary gastrointestinal adenocarcinoma with metastatic osteoblastic activity from two previously unreported sites. The first case represents an esophageal adenocarcinoma arising in a background of intestinal metaplasia that metastasized with osteoblastic activity to the deltoid muscle. The second case demonstrates a Stage IV sigmoid colon adenocarcinoma with osteoblastic metastases to the liver and lymph nodes. The findings indicate that metastases from various gastrointestinal primary adenocarcinomas can have prominent bone formation.

Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is a rare and aggressive thyroid malignancy typically comprised of undifferentiated tumor cells with various histologic morphologies, which makes the diagnosis challenging. These tumors commonly show loss of thyroglobulin and TTF1 with preservation of cytokeratin (67%) and Paired Box Gene 8 (PAX8) (55%) expression. Identification of a sensitive immunohistochemical stain to aid in the diagnosis of ATC would be beneficial.

Recent scientific investigations have revealed the intricate mechanisms underlying bone formation, emphasizing the essential role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) as critical regulators. This process, essential for skeletal strength and functionality, involves the transformation of mesenchymal stem cells into osteoblasts and subsequent deposition of bone matrix. lncRNAs, including HOX transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR), metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1), differentiation antagonizing non-coding RNA (DANCR), and maternally expressed gene 3 (MEG3), have emerged as prominent players in this regulatory network.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) bone metastatis progression is driven by crosstalk between tumor cells and the bone microenvironment, which includes osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes. RCC bone metastases (RCCBM) are predominantly osteolytic and resistant to antiresorptive therapy. The molecular mechanisms underlying pathologic osteolysis and disruption of bone homeostasis remain incompletely understood.

Nine new organotin (IV) derivatives from L-amino acids (l-lysine, L-ornithine, L-glutamic acid, and L-aspartic acid) were synthesized by one-pot ultrasound-assisted methodology. All compounds were characterized by ATR-FTIR (Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier Transform Infrared), LRMS (Low-Resolution Mass Spectrometry), and solution NMR (H, C, Sn Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectroscopies. Complexes BuSn(Lys) (1), PhSn(Lys) (2), BuSn(Orn) (3), and PhSn (Glu-OMe) (6a) were crystallized, and the structures were established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.
