Myoepithelial neoplasms (MNs) of the lung are extremely rare tumors. Approximately 40 cases of pulmonary MNs have been reported to date. Herein, we report extremely rare cases of different types of pulmonary MN, including cytological features. Case 1 is an 18-year-old female, and case 2 is a 73-year-old female patient. They presented to our hospital with nodules of the lung. Histological examination revealed tumor cells with round to oval nuclei and acidophilic cytoplasm that formed nests or fascicles with mild hyalinized stroma in case 1 and tumors containing the bi-phasic components of a nest-like and fascicle pattern with pleomorphism in case 2. Immunohistochemically, these tumors were positive for cytokeratin (CK) AE1/AE3, CK5/6, vimentin, calponin, and EMA, and focal positive for S-100a protein and alpha smooth muscle actin. The pathological diagnoses in cases 1 and 2 were myoepithelioma and myoepithelial carcinoma, respectively. In conclusion, we encountered two cases of extremely rare MNs that occurred in the lung. This disease can be diagnosed by collecting appropriate cytological and histological findings and should be listed as a differential diagnosis.

Objective: Ewing sarcoma (EWS) of the mediastinum is extremely rare, with only a few cases reported in the literature. We aimed to gain a better understanding of primary mediastinal EWS, describing patients treated within two international, multicenter, prospective, randomized EWS trials.
Methods: Data from patients with primary mediastinal EWS were retrieved from the database of the EURO-E.
Impact of Ce Doping on the Relaxor Behavior and Electrical Properties of SrBaNbO Ferroelectric Ceramics.

In this work, the rare earth element Ce was incorporated into the A-site of SrBaNbO ferroelectric ceramics, which was prepared using the conventional solid state reaction method and sintered under different procedures. A comprehensive investigation was conducted to assess the impact of Ce doping and varying sintering procedures on both the relaxor characteristics and electrical properties of the ceramics. When sintered at 1300 °C for 4 h, the grains exhibited an isometric shape.

Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic "Narodni front", Belgrade, Serbia; Faculty of Medicine, University of Belgrade, Belgrade, Serbia.
Objective: Prenatal detection of complex chromosomal rearrangements (CCR) is extremely rare, but is of great clinical importance, since CCR can be causative of different congenital disorders. We present an exceptionally rare case of prenatally diagnosed Saethre-Chotzen syndrome (SCS) rising as a consequence of chromothripsis involving chromosomes 5, 7 and 11 and deletion of TWIST1 gene.
