Low Grade Fibromyxoid Sarcoma (LGFMS), a rare entity characterized by bland histologic features, typically affects deep soft tissues of the trunk and lower extremities. Rare cases have been reported arising from the viscera and few demonstrating morphology of high-grade dedifferentiation. Here we report a 39-year-old Chinese woman presenting with primary lung LGFMS, which metastasized to the pancreas five years after diagnosis and then relapsed ten years later as a mediastinum mass. Microscopically, the lung and pancreatic lumps shared similar classical features of LGFMS, composed of bland spindle-shaped cells with low mitotic activity. However, the mediastinal mass had dedifferentiated morphology of dense sheets of round and epithelioid cells with high degree of nuclear pleomorphism and brisk mitosis. Molecular studies showed both classical and dedifferentiated areas had FUS::CREB3L2 rearrangement. However, the mediastinal dedifferentiated area presented with extra H193Y mutation of the . Moreover, the mediastinal tumor displayed a strong and diffuse pattern of p53 expression immunohistochemically, but the primary lung and secondary pancreatic masses did not. Thus, we diagnosed the mediastinal mass as dedifferentiated LGFMS and proposed that mutation was probably the driver gene alteration in the process, which, to the best of our knowledge, has not been reported in the existing literature.

Objectives: Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a distinct subtype of breast cancer that has a poor prognosis due to the lack of effective therapeutic agents. Since a significant proportion of human surgical samples of TNBC expressed mRNA for the growth hormone (GH), growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptors, and the mitogenic proliferative activity of GH, GHRH, and GnRH, have been identified as effective therapeutic targets for somatostatin and its analogs and GnRH analogs, Di Bella Method (DBM), a combination of hormonal analogs and vitamins, was introduced to target and inhibit solid tumors. The present study aimed to improve the prognosis of TNBC using DBM in women with TNBC.

Introduction: Extrauterine recurrent metastasis of Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LG-ESS) to major blood vessels is largely rare with few reported cases.

Case: Herein, we present a case of a 51-year-old female with recurrent LG-ESS that has metastasized after 12 years to the inferior vena cava (IVC) and extended into the right atrium and common iliac veins. Computed tomography showed an intracardiac larger thrombus within the right atrium extending into the inferior vena cava and common iliac veins.
