While acinic cell carcinoma (AciCC) can undergo high-grade transformation (HGT) to high-grade adenocarcinoma or poorly differentiated carcinoma, other morphologies such as spindle cell/sarcomatoid carcinoma are rare and not well-characterized. We herein report a novel case of AciCC with squamoglandular and chondrosarcomatous HGT mimicking a so-called 'carcinosarcoma ex-pleomorphic adenoma'. The patient is an 81-year-old male with a two-month history of neck swelling and referred otalgia who presented with a left parapharyngeal space mass extending into retropharyngeal space and pterygoid muscles.

Atypical spindle cell/pleomorphic lipomatous tumor (ASPLT) is a recently described adipocytic tumor predominantly affecting the subcutaneous soft tissues of adults. Previous studies have shown that ASPLT follows a benign clinical course with a 4% to 12% local recurrence rate and no risk of dedifferentiation. Herein, we describe the clinicopathologic and molecular findings of 4 cases of ASPLT showing unequivocal sarcomatous transformation.

Purpose: Dedifferentiated melanoma (DedM) poses significant diagnostic challenges. We aimed to investigate the clinical, histopathological and molecular features of DedM. Methylation signature (MS) and copy number profiling (CNP) were carried out in a subgroup of cases.

Malignant gastrointestinal neuroectodermal tumors (MGNETs), also known as "gastrointestinal clear cell sarcoma-like tumors", are very rare, aggressive sarcomas characterized by enteric location, distinctive pathologic features, and EWSR1/FUS::ATF1/CREB1 fusions. Despite identical genetics, the clinicopathologic features of MGNET are otherwise quite different from those of clear cell sarcoma of soft parts. Only exceptional extraenteric MGNET (E-MGNET) has been reported.

Pseudomyogenic hemangioendothelioma (PMH), also known as epithelioid sarcoma-like hemangioendothelioma, is a rare epithelioid vascular neoplasm predominantly affecting young adult males at an average age of approximately 30 years. This tumor is rare; therefore, detailed information regarding this tumor is still lacking. Here, we report a case of a man in his 20s presenting with left foot pain for about one year.
