Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour (IMT), also known as plasma cell granuloma (PCG) or inflammatory pseudotumour (IPT), is a distinctive, rarely metastasizing neoplasm composed of myofibroblastic and fibroblastic spindle cells accompanied by inflammatory infiltration of plasma cells, lymphocytes and/or eosinophils. IMT predominantly affects children and young adults, and the age at presentation ranges from 3 to 89 years. We present a very rare case of recurrent testicular IMT without ALK rearrangement. This case highlights the clinical characteristics and diagnostic factors associated with primary and recurrent foci of this rare tumour, along with key therapeutic approaches.

Saint Louis University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO.
Objective: Authors characterized all published adult cases of cutaneous, intertriginous Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) to bring this clinical presentation to the attention of clinicians. We emphasize the morphology, histopathology, immunohistochemical profiles, and genetic mutations associated with these cases.
Materials And Methods: A systematic review of the National Center for Biotechnology Information's PubMed was conducted, utilizing the following specific key words to identify all adult LCH patients with cutaneous intertriginous involvement: "Intertriginous Langerhans," "Vulvar Langerhans," "Genital Langerhans," "Perineal Langerhans," "Perianal Langerhans," "Intergluteal Langerhans," "Inguinal Langerhans," "Axillary Langerhans," and "Inframammary Langerhans.

Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare genetic disorder that affects multiple systems in the body and is the most prevalent congenital syndrome, leading to bone marrow failure. Twenty-two genes have been identified as contributors to the disease. Significant advancements have been made in the past 2 decades in understanding the genetic and pathophysiological processes involved.
