Introduction: Here we are presenting a unique case of malignant triton tumor of the trigeminal nerve in a 4-year-old boy who presented with diplopia and ptosis.
Intervention: Near total excision of the tumor was performed, and adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy were administered.
Results: The patient is in good health and has no evidence of clinical and radiological tumor recurrence for 22 months.

Liposarcomas are the most common soft tissue sarcoma primarily originating in deep soft tissues and the retroperitoneum. Sarcoma classification includes atypical lipomatous tumor/well-differentiated liposarcoma (WDL) and dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDL), myxoid liposarcoma, and pleomorphic liposarcoma. DDL is most prevalent in the retroperitoneum and often has two distinct components, a well-differentiated lipomatous component and a dedifferentiated nonlipomatous component that could be morphologically similar to malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) or fibrosarcoma.

Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN) is a rare entity identified in ~1% of patients undergoing appendectomy. The presentation often varies, making diagnosis challenging. Timely identification and treatment are critical to prevent rupture, which may lead to pseudomyxoma peritonei.

Mammalian genomes host a diverse array of RNA that includes protein-coding and noncoding transcripts. However, the functional roles of most long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) remain elusive. Using RNA-targeting CRISPR-Cas13 screens, we probed how the loss of ∼6,200 lncRNAs impacts cell fitness across five human cell lines and identified 778 lncRNAs with context-specific or broad essentiality.
