We describe a patient with osteosarcoma of the breast with intense uptake by the primary tumour of 99m Tc-methylene diphosphonate on bone scan. This appearance on bone scan strongly suggests a diagnosis of osteosarcoma, and has diagnostic and therapeutic implications which are discussed.

Background: Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is an autosomal dominant tumor predisposition syndrome characterized by a high familial incidence of various malignancies. It results from pathogenic/likely pathogenic heterozygous constitutional variants of the TP53 gene. Due to impaired DNA damage repair, conventional cytotoxic therapies or radiotherapy should be avoided whenever feasible to mitigate the high incidence of treatment-related secondary malignancies in these patients.

Background And Purpose: Vascularized fibular grafting following tumor resection is an essential treatment option in limb salvage surgery. We aimed to evaluate: (I) bone healing, (II) complications and reoperations, (III) limb salvage, and (IV) survival.
Methods: We present a retrospective evaluation of a national cohort comprising 27 patients.
Predicting cell morphological responses to perturbations using generative modeling.

Advancements in high-throughput screenings enable the exploration of rich phenotypic readouts through high-content microscopy, expediting the development of phenotype-based drug discovery. However, analyzing large and complex high-content imaging screenings remains challenging due to incomplete sampling of perturbations and the presence of technical variations between experiments. To tackle these shortcomings, we present IMage Perturbation Autoencoder (IMPA), a generative style-transfer model predicting morphological changes of perturbations across genetic and chemical interventions.

The changes in the level of small GTPase ARL4C are associated with the initiation and progression of many different cancers. The content of ARL4C varies greatly between different tissues, and the induction of ARL4C expression leads to changes in cell morphology and proliferation. Although ARL4C can bind alpha-tubulin and affect intracellular transport, the role of ARL4C in the functioning of the tubulin cytoskeleton remained unclear.

Primary breast osteosarcoma (PBOS) is an extremely rare and poor prognostic malignancy. Here, we presented a 44-year-old female with a primary osteosarcoma of the breast (POB). Comprehensive imaging examinations conducted on the patient can be used to expand the imaging database for cases of breast osteosarcoma.
