Introduction: In adults, fibrosarcoma (FS) of the bone is a rare occurrence. Infantile FS, particularly in the distal radius, is an exceedingly uncommon tumor and, to the best of our knowledge, has not yet been documented in the literature. In the subsequent report, we present a case involving a 2-year-old male diagnosed with primary FS of the distal radius.
Case Report: We hereby report the case of a 2-year-old Caucasian boy presenting with primary bone FS in the distal radius. X-rays revealed an osseous mass with an extraosseous component. MRI showed heterogeneous enhancement, suggestive of non-liquefied necrosis or possible fibrosis within the extraosseous soft-tissue component. The patient underwent a resection of the tumor, followed by central translocation of the ulna.
Conclusion: Managing infantile FS of the bone requires a multidisciplinary approach. A high index of suspicion is crucial for diagnosing the tumor. Further studies are needed to enhance our approach and management of infantile FS of the bone.

Background: This study aimed to develop ion-releasing and antibacterial resin-based dental sealants comprising 3 to 6 wt% monocalcium phosphate monohydrate (MCPM, M), 3 to 6 wt% bioactive glass (BAG, B), and 3 to 6 wt% polylysine (PLS, P). The physical properties, mechanical performance, cytotoxicity, and inhibition of S. mutans biofilm by these materials were subsequently evaluated.

Sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma (SEF) is a rare and aggressive neoplasm composed of epithelioid cells arranged in strands and nests embedded in a highly sclerotic collagenous stroma. We report a case of a 36-year-old man who started with lumbar pain, with extension to both legs, night sweats, and weight loss. He underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lumbar spine; computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis; and [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) scan.

Sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma (SEF) was originally described as a peculiar variant of fibrosarcoma in 1995. Subsequent studies showed that conventional SEF was associated with both immunohistochemical expression of MUC4 and EWSR1/FUS gene rearrangements with CREB3L1 as the predominant fusion partner. Since then, a distinct group of fibrous tumors characterized by YAP1::KMT2A and KMT2A::YAP1 gene rearrangements and SEF-like morphology has been described.

In adoptive T cell therapy (ACT), the direct cytotoxic effects of CD8 T cells on tumor cells, including the release of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), are considered the primary mechanism for tumor eradication. Cancer antigen escape diminishes the T cell responses, thereby limiting the therapeutic success. The impacts of IFN-γ targeting non-tumor cells in ACT, on the other hand, remains under-investigated.
