Background/aim: Endosialin is present in human fibrosarcoma neoplastic cells. This study aimed to analyse the expression of selected cellular proteins found in fibrosarcomas and soft-tissue fibroids in dogs.
Materials And Methods: A total of 71 skin tumours obtained from dogs were used. The samples included 31 fibromas and 40 fibrosarcomas. Histopathological evaluation was performed according to World Health Organization guidelines. Immunohistochemistry was performed with anti-endosialin, Ki-67, cyclo-oxygenase 2 and vimentin antibodies and assessed using the semi-quantitative scale.
Results: Endosialin expression was observed in 82.5% of fibrosarcomas and in 35% of fibromas. A significant positive correlation was found between the expression of endosialin in fibrosarcoma neoplastic cells and the degree of histological malignancy and the expression of the Ki-67 and cyclo-oxygenase 2 antigen. Expression of vimentin confirmed mesenchymal origin of this tumours.
Conclusion: The results of our research suggest that endosialin is involved in the carcinogenesis of fibrosarcoma in dogs.

Metastatic Sclerosing Epithelioid Fibrosarcoma at Diagnosis: A Case Report.

Sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma (SEF) is a rare and aggressive neoplasm composed of epithelioid cells arranged in strands and nests embedded in a highly sclerotic collagenous stroma. We report a case of a 36-year-old man who started with lumbar pain, with extension to both legs, night sweats, and weight loss. He underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lumbar spine; computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis; and [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) scan.

Feline injection-site sarcomas (FISSs) are malignant skin tumors of mesenchymal origin arising at local post-vaccination (or injection) sites. In recent years, a fluorescence imaging technique based on probes targeting αβ integrin has been effectively applied for the surgical complete resection of the tumor. In our study, we investigated the utility of a commercially available anti-α integrin polyclonal antibody for the histopathological evaluation of FISS's surgical excision margins.

Article Synopsis
- * The review focuses on the roles of miRNAs in various soft tissue sarcoma subtypes and how altered miRNA activity can act as oncogenes or tumor suppressors, affecting cancer progression.
- * It highlights the potential of specific miRNAs for diagnostics and treatment targets, underscoring their promise in improving personalized therapies for sarcoma patients.
Profiling the cancer-prone microenvironment in a zebrafish model for MPNST.

Laboratory of Cancer Biology and Genetics, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Microenvironmental factors play a key yet unclear role in the progression of soft tissue sarcomas, especially during their onset.
- A novel zebrafish model was developed to differentiate among microenvironmental, precancerous, and cancer cells, focusing on malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST), which grow aggressively.
- The study reveals that specific inflammatory signaling pathways are activated during the transition from precancerous to cancerous states, highlighting the role of macrophages and identifying periostin as a significant protein in MPNST progression.
Are Ameloblastic Fibroma-related Lesions True Tumors?: Evidence Through CNA and BRAF Mutation Analysis.

Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) and related lesions, namely ameloblastic fibrodentinoma (AFD) and ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO), span a spectrum from true neoplasms to hamartomas. The 2017 World Health Organization classification proposes that AFD and AFO are precursors to odontomas, yet their precise nature remains uncertain. This study examined 19 AF cases, 4 AFD, 15 AFO, 19 odontomas (OD, 14 complex, 5 compound), and 2 ameloblastic fibrosarcomas (AFS), focusing on clinical characteristics, recurrence, and molecular profiles.
