Infantile myofibromatosis (IM) is characterized by solitary musculoskeletal nodules presenting during infancy but can manifest as multiple lesions with visceral involvement. Multicentric IM with visceral involvement carries a high risk of mortality and there is no consensus on treatment. We present a case of a patient with multicentric IM and pulmonary involvement who progressed on several chemotherapeutic regimens and subsequently had a complete response to sorafenib and later imatinib. This report describes the novel use of sorafenib and imatinib to treat generalized IM and the role of continued tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy to maintain remission.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare mesenchymal tumors that arise from interstitial cells of Cajal. Due to vague presentation, location and confusing imaging studies, they tend to mimic gynaecological tumors. They usually diagnosed intra-operative and histopathology followed by tumor specific receptors such as KIT, CD34, CD 117 and DOG 1 are mainstay of diagnosis of GIST.

Treatment options for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) have improved substantially in the last 30 years, but there is still a need for novel molecules that can regulate the excessive accumulation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) and consequent vascular remodeling. One set of possible candidates are protein kinases. The study provides an overview of existing preclinical and clinical data regarding small-molecule protein kinase inhibitors in PAH.

Introduction: Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. The actin-binding protein Girdin is overexpressed in various tumors, promoting tumorigenesis and progression. However, the exact mechanisms by which Girdin regulates liver cancer remain poorly understood.

Background: The medical management of DT comprises tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), hormonal agents, anti-inflammatory drugs with the recently approved gamma secretase inhibitor nirogacestat being the current standard of care. Real-world data on evolving treatment landscapes of DT remains scarce.
Methods: This is a retrospective study of patients with DT registered between 1995 and 2020 at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi and Tata Medical Center, Kolkata.
