Background: Despite autophagy being a principal mechanism of tumor progression, its role has been never studied in Paget disease, a difficult to treat intraepithelial neoplasia affecting mainly the breast and the vulvar regions.
Material And Methods: Twenty seven cases (17 extramammary and 10 mammary) of Paget disease were immunohistochemically studied for the expression of the two principal autophagic factors, LC3B and p62.
Results: The majority of Paget diseases showed strong cytoplasmic expression of p62 in contrast to nearby keratinocytes which presented nuclear-only p62 staining. LC3B was negative or only mildly positive in neoplastic cells. No difference was seen between mammary and extramammary cases.
Conclusion: The immunohistochemical autophagic profile of Paget disease suggests a down-regulated autophagic process which, thus, may be implicated in the invasive potential of these cells.

Diseases affecting bone encompass a spectrum of disorders, from prevalent conditions such as osteoporosis and Paget's disease, collectively impacting millions, to rare genetic disorders including Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP). While several classes of drugs, such as bisphosphonates, synthetic hormones, and antibodies, are utilized in the treatment of bone diseases, their efficacy is often curtailed by issues of tolerability and high incidence of adverse effects. Developing therapeutic agents for bone diseases is hampered by the fact that numerous pathways regulating bone metabolism also perform pivotal functions in other organ systems.

Unlabelled: Upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (UEDVT) is relatively rare, and much less as an initial presentation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Primary UEDVT should be considered in individuals with unilateral arm swelling where the brachial, axillary, and subclavian veins are frequently involved. SLE is a chronic autoimmune disease that predominantly affects women of childbearing age and of African descent.

To date, pagetoid spread-the proliferation of pagetoid cells in intraepidermal lesions, as observed in secondary extramammary Paget's disease-has not been reported in squamous epithelium derived from the extension of head and neck carcinomas. Herein, we report a case of pagetoid squamous cell proliferation associated with a primary intraosseous carcinoma (PIOC) arising in the periapical lesion of the maxilla, a finding not reported previously. A 60-year-old man presented with prostate adenocarcinoma and bilateral pubic bone, ilium bone, and sacral bone metastases.

Tooth root development is a complex process essential for tooth function, yet the role of root dentin development in tooth morphogenesis is not fully understood. Optineurin (OPTN), linked to bone disorders like Paget's disease of bone (PDB), may affect tooth root development. In this study, we used single-cell sequencing of embryonic day 16.
