AI Article Synopsis

  • A 15-year-old female presented with abnormal vaginal bleeding and was found to have a juvenile granulosa cell tumor (JGCT) along with features of enchondromatosis.
  • Imaging studies revealed multiple bone lesions that were initially thought to be metastases, but biopsy indicated they were actually a hyaline cartilage neoplasm.
  • The case highlights the importance of recognizing the link between enchondromatosis and JGCT, as it can affect diagnosis and treatment strategies for similar patients.

Article Abstract

Prior case reports have described synchronous ovarian juvenile granulosa cell tumor (JGCT) and enchondromatosis in patients with Ollier disease and Maffucci syndrome. We present a case of a juvenile granulosa cell tumor with an IDH1 somatic mutation identified in the ovarian tissue in a 15-year-old female who presented with abnormal vaginal bleeding, several months of irregular menses, and a large multicystic adnexal mass. Multiple mixed lytic and sclerotic lesions were identified in the bones of the pelvis on imaging studies obtained during the work-up of her abdominal mass. Like previous reports in patients with undiagnosed enchondromatosis, these lesions were presumed to represent skeletal metastases; however, biopsy tissue revealed a hyaline cartilage neoplasm. Subspecialty review of the imaging findings revealed imaging features classic for Ollier disease involving the flat bones of the pelvis. It is important for radiologists to be familiar with the association between enchondromatosis and JGCT. When a female patient with enchondromatosis presents with a large, unilateral, mixed solid-cystic ovarian mass, the diagnosis of JGCT can be suggested. Alternatively, when a patient is diagnosed with JGCT, any skeletal lesions should be scrutinized for imaging features that suggest a hyaline cartilage neoplasm to avoid the misdiagnosis of skeletal metastases in a patient with previously undiagnosed Ollier disease or Maffucci syndrome. To our knowledge, this is the second reported confirmed case of an IDH1 somatic mutation identified in the ovarian tissue of a JGCT in a patient with Ollier disease.

Meta-analyses uncover the genetic architecture of Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies.

Objective: Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (myositis, IIMs) are rare, systemic autoimmune disorders that lead to muscle inflammation, weakness, and extra-muscular manifestations, with a strong genetic component influencing disease development and progression. Previous genome-wide association studies identified loci associated with IIMs. In this study, we imputed data from two prior genome-wide myositis studies and analyzed the largest myositis dataset to date to identify novel risk loci and susceptibility genes associated with IIMs and its clinical subtypes.

Enchondroma Protuberans of the Hand: A Rare Cartilaginous Tumor.

Introduction: Enchondroma protuberans (EP), a rare form of enchondroma with exophytic growth, differs radiographically from classical enchondromas and can mimic osteochondroma, periosteal chondroma, or chondrosarcoma. Proper differentiation is crucial to avoid unnecessary radical resection, as EP requires intralesional curettage rather than the surgical removal typical for osteochondromas.

The management of children with syndromes associated with an increased risk of benign and malignant neoplasms is a complex challenge for healthcare professionals. The 2023 AACR Childhood Cancer Predisposition Workshop provided updated consensus guidelines on cancer surveillance in these syndromes, aiming to improve early detection, intervention, and reduce morbidity associated with such neoplasms. In this paper, we review several of the rare conditions discussed in this workshop.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aims to enhance understanding of tumor development in patients with Ollier disease (OD) and Maffucci syndrome (MS), focusing on IDH-mutated tumors and their origins.
  • It proposes that a single IDH-mutant cell could lead to various tumors due to early embryonic mutations and that not all mutated cells will display the IDH mutant characteristics.
  • Additionally, it suggests that specific genetic predispositions (SNPs) may increase the likelihood of developing particular tumors in these patients, linking developmental defects to tumor occurrence.

Individuals with rare skeletal disorders like Multiple Osteochondromas and Ollier Disease often experience physical and psychological burdens. Adventure therapy, with activities like sailing in outdoor settings, promotes personal growth and psychological well-being, potentially improving health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a sailing program on health-related quality of life and participant satisfaction in individuals with Multiple Osteochondromas and Ollier Disease.
