Osseous lesions are rare; however, their incidence is increased in childhood and adolescence. The spectrum of osseous processes in this age group is limited, with benign lesions being much more prevalent than malignant tumors. For the differential diagnosis, it is essential to have in-depth knowledge of the more frequent bone diseases in children and adolescents. The current review presents these diseases based on the morphologic approach of the WHO classification, including giant cell-rich and cystic lesions, chondrogenic and bone-forming lesions [7]. Small round cell sarcomas which are now summarized in a separate chapter of the WHO classification have been described previously [12, 20].

Background: Extramedullary hemopoiesis (EMH) is a rare condition characterized by abnormal blood cell production outside the bone marrow, commonly occurring in the liver, spleen, lymph nodes, and less frequently in the mediastinum.

Case Presentation: This case involves a 68-year-old male patient who was found to have a posterior mediastinal mass upon examination. A surgical biopsy was performed, and pathological examination confirmed it to be extramedullary hemopoiesis (EMH).

Background: Lung adenocarcinoma patients are often found to have developed bone metastases at the time of initial diagnosis. With the continuous development of technology, we have successfully entered the era of immunotherapy. This study aimed to determine the efficacy of immunotherapy in lung adenocarcinoma patients with bone metastases (LABM) through a multicenter retrospective analysis and to develop a novel tool to identify the population that could benefit most from immunotherapy.

Background: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly aggressive disease characterized by early metastasis. Aneuploid CD31 disseminated tumor cells (DTCs) and CD31 disseminated tumor endothelial cells (DTECs) residing in the bone marrow are generally considered as the initiators of metastatic process. However, the clinical significance of DTCs and DTECs in SCLC remains poorly understood.

Bone marrow is pivotal for normal hematopoiesis and immune responses, yet it is often compromised by malignancies. The bone microenvironment (BME), composed of bone and immune cells, maintains skeletal integrity and blood production. The emergence of primary or metastatic tumors in the skeletal system results in severe complications and contributes significantly to cancer-related mortality.

Chronic inflammation is a common characteristic of all kinds of diseases, including autoimmune diseases, metabolic diseases, and tumors. It is distinguished by the presence of low concentrations of inflammatory factors stimulating the body for an extended period, resulting in a persistent state of infection. This condition is manifested by the aggregation and infiltration of mononuclear cells, lymphocytes, and other immune cells, leading to tissue hyperplasia and lesions.
