AI Article Synopsis
- * A case study describes a 58-year-old woman who had a routine gynecological check, revealing a large, complex myometrial mass through imaging techniques.
- * After a total hysterectomy, the tumor was identified as an intramural mass with a mix of smooth muscle, fat, and blood vessels, and for the first time, it was found to have KRAS and KIT mutations.
Article Abstract
Angiolipoleiomyoma is a very rare lesion of the uterus. To the best of our knowledge, only 20 cases have been described in the literature. It is an insufficiently defined entity, which is not included in the WHO classification. This lesion may be therefore underdiagnosed and underestimated. We describe here a case of a 58-yr-old woman who underwent routine gynecological examination. Ultrasonography revealed a heterogeneous myometrial mass, while magnetic resonance imaging showed a voluminous corporeal and fundic myometrial mass protruding into the uterine cavity. A total hysterectomy was performed. The macroscopic examination revealed an intramural solitary round mass with a heterogeneous cut-surface. Microscopically, the lesion consisted of an admixture of smooth muscle, adipose tissue, and blood vessels. Desmin was positive, while HMB45 was negative in the tumor. Molecular tests were performed and revealed, for the first time to our knowledge, a case of an angiolipoleiomyoma harboring KRAS and KIT mutations.

December 2024
AMES, Centro Polidiagnostico Strumentale srl, Via Padre Carmine Fico 24, Casalnuovo Di Napoli 80013, Italy.
Background: Oligo-metastatic disease (OMD) in colon cancer patients exhibits distinct clinical behavior compared to poly-metastatic disease (PMD), with a more responsive and indolent course. This study aims to identify clinical and biological factors uniquely associated with oligo-metastatic behavior.
Methods: Metastatic colon cancer patients from an academic center underwent genetic characterization.
Mutations and Co-Mutations in Operated Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma.
J Clin Med
December 2024
Department of Molecular Pathology, School of Medicine, Aydin Adnan Menderes University, Aydin 09010, Türkiye.
Understanding mutations and co-mutations in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is critical to developing personalized treatment strategies. Therefore, this study aims to investigate mutations and the accompanying somatic variations in NSCLC. This retrospective study included 98 patients over 18 years of age who were diagnosed with NSCLC, operated on, and referred to the Molecular Pathology Laboratory between January 2019 and June 2024 for next-generation sequencing panel tests and FISH analysis.

Article Synopsis
- Hematologic malignancies significantly impact the health of children, young adults, and older adults, yet their biological causes are not well understood.
- A study revealed notable differences in clinical features and genomic mutations between children/young adults (CYAs) and older adults (OAs) in these diseases, including lower mutational burdens in CYAs for many key genes.
- The research identified specific genes with varying mutation rates and emphasized the need for age-oriented personalized treatment options based on the distinct genetic and clinical landscapes of CYAs and OAs.
Genetic Characteristics of Cutaneous, Acral, and Mucosal Melanoma in Japan.
Cancer Med
November 2024
Department of Dermatology, Sapporo Medical University School of Medicine, Sapporo, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- - Acral and mucosal melanomas are more common in Asians compared to Caucasians, while cutaneous melanomas are mainly found in Caucasians; this study focuses on the genetic traits of melanomas in Japanese patients due to under-research in this area.
- - Analysis of 104 Japanese melanoma samples revealed that 94% had driver mutations, with significant mutations differing among melanoma types: BRAF was notable in cutaneous, while acral exhibited mutations in KIT and others, and mucosal showed various driver mutations like NRAS and KRAS.
- - The findings suggest a lower tumor mutational burden in East Asian cutaneous melanoma, potentially impacting the effectiveness of immune checkpoint inhibitors and emphasizing the necessity for personalized treatment strategies based on
Prognostic significance of actionable next-generation sequencing multigene panel in esophageal cancer treatment.

November 2024
Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, University of Health Sciences, Başakşehir Çam and Sakura City Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey.
Objective: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has been offered as a large-scale and effective genomic analyzing tool. In this research, we seek to examine the possible benefits of an actionable mutation panel in association with clinical and pathological features in the treatment of esophageal cancer.
Patients And Methods: In our study, 85 cases whose diagnosis of carcinoma was confirmed histopathologically either by endoscopic biopsy or esophageal surgery between 2010 and 2020 were identified from the hospital database.
