Radiation-induced sarcomas (RIS) are a rare long-term complication of radiation therapy, with a reported incidence of 2.5-5.5%. They usually develop several years following exposure to radiotherapy. The most common reported subtypes are undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, angiosarcoma, and leiomyosarcoma. Breast cancer is the most common primary malignancy preceding RIS, followed by uterine cervical carcinoma. Only a few cases of RIS with rhabdomyoblastic differentiation have been reported in the literature, usually following the treatment of retinoblastoma. Herein, we report a rare case of RIS with rhabdomyoblastic differentiation in the pelvic region developing 12 years after cervical cancer radiation therapy.

To investigate the clinicopathological features, immunophenotype, molecular characteristics, and differential diagnosis of primary intracranial DICER1-mutant sarcoma in order to better understand this tumor type. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 7 cases of primary intracranial DICER1-mutant sarcoma diagnosed in the Department of Pathology, Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center, Guangzhou, China between 2021 and 2023 using next-generation sequencing. At the same time, 10 gliosarcomas, 4 intracranial FET::CREB fusion-positive mesenchymal tumors, 4 malignant meningiomas, 3 malignant solitary fibrous tumors, 3 malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors, 3 synovial sarcomas and 3 rhabdomyosarcomas (total 30 cases) were selected as control.

Article Synopsis
- - Malignant triton tumor (MTT) is a rare and aggressive nerve sheath tumor with a very low survival rate and no standard treatment options.
- - A 16-year-old male diagnosed with MTT in his distal femur underwent chemotherapy followed by surgery and additional chemotherapy.
- - After 1.5 years, the combined treatment successfully avoided recurrence, and he can walk without pain or any signs of metastasis.

Pseudomyogenic hemangioendothelioma (PHE) is a rare, usually multifocal neoplasm typically affecting individuals in the second-to-fourth decade of life, with a male predominance. It often arises in the distal extremities and characteristically involves multiple tissue planes. Presentation of this neoplasm as a primary penile lesion is exceedingly rare, with only five cases previously documented in the literature.

- This paper discusses a rare case of malignant triton tumor (MTT) in a 21-year-old male lacking signs of neurofibromatosis, highlighting its aggressive nature and poor prognosis due to high recurrence rates and potential metastases.
- The biopsy revealed specific cellular characteristics and positive markers that confirmed the diagnosis, emphasizing the importance of histopathology and immunohistochemistry in such cases.
- The conclusion stresses the need for prompt surgical intervention and the differentiation between sporadic MTTs and those associated with neurofibromatosis, along with a review of the necessary histological criteria for diagnosis.
