is important in the maintenance and assembly of the ARP2/3 complex. Loss of this complex due to mutation results in impairment of actin polymerization and subsequent defects in chemotaxis, cell migration, and DNA repair. Individuals with this rare mutation present in infancy and have abnormal innate and adaptive immune responses. They develop immune-mediated inflammatory disease with associated platelet defects, eosinophilia, rashes, and bowel disease. Recurrent gastrointestinal hemorrhage has been described in known cases. Here, we report a case with endoscopic and histologic findings in a patient with this rare mutation.

Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL) is an aggressive mature T-cell lymphoma characterized by significant hepatosplenomegaly, bone marrow involvement, and minimal or no lymphadenopathy. Primarily affecting young adults, it is exceptionally rare in children and adolescents. This makes diagnosis and treatment particularly challenging for pathologists and pediatric oncologists.

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in children, presenting with heterogeneous clinical and molecular subtypes. While gene fusions are predominantly associated with alveolar RMS, spindle cell RMS, especially congenital and intraosseous variants, are also linked to specific gene fusions. Furthermore, recently, FGFR1 kinase-driven RMSs were published.

Introduction: Marie-Unna hereditary hypotrichosis (MUHH) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by a specific pattern of hair loss. Initially described in 1925 by Marie-Unna in a German family spanning over seven generations, MUHH represents a previously unidentified form of congenital hypotrichosis. It typically presents as sparse hair at birth with a coarse texture, followed by regrowth during childhood then, finally, gradual hair loss at puberty, resembling pattern of androgenetic alopecia.
