To study the frontiers between pluripotent stem cells and committed progenitors and to further define the B-cell pathway in adult bone marrow (BM), CD34+ subpopulations and CD34- B-lineage cells were analyzed by multiparameter flow cytometry, studied by light and electron microscopy, and in short-term and long-term cultures (LTC). While the total CD34+ cells represent 4.9% +/- 0.8 of BM mononuclear cells within the lymphoid-blast window, 73.8 +/- 3.5%, 14.4 +/- 1.8% and 8.8 +/- 2.9% of them were CD34+ CD10- CD19-, CD34+ CD10+ CD19+, and CD34+ CD10+ CD19-, respectively. CD34+ CD10+ CD19+ cells represent a smal homogeneous TdT4 c micro-blast population. Although expressing CD38 and high level of HLA-DR antigens, like myeloid committed progenitors, they did not generate LTC, myeloid, and T lymphoid colonies suggesting that the CD34+ CD10+ CD19+ population represents exclusively B lymphoid committed progenitors. By contrast, all myeloid progenitors and LTC-initiating cells were found in the CD34+ CD10- CD19- cell fraction. This fraction appeared more heterogeneous and contained CD38- HLA-DRlow small cells, larger blasts, and promonocyte-like cells exhibiting small peroxidase-positive granules. Interestingly, CD10 was also present on CD34+ CD19- cells. This population mainly coexpressed CD33 and gave rise to macrophagic colonies.

Gene fusions involving JAZF1 are a recurrent event in low grade endometrial stromal sarcoma, and have been more recently described in few instances of endometrial stromal sarcoma-like tumors in the genitourinary tract of men. In this article, we describe a previously unreported spindle cell sarcoma harboring an in-frame JAZF1::NUDT5 gene fusion, arising in the chest wall of a 51-year-old man. The tumor had unique morphologic features resembling both endometrial stromal sarcoma and endometrial stromal sarcoma-like tumors, consisting of a mixture of cytologically bland and pleomorphic spindle cells with brisk mitotic activity, within an alternating myxoid and fibrous stroma.

Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia is the most common childhood malignancy that remains a leading cause of death in childhood. It may be characterised by multiple known recurrent genetic aberrations that inform prognosis, the most common being hyperdiploidy and t(12;21) . We aimed to assess the applicability of a new imaging flow cytometry methodology that incorporates cell morphology, immunophenotype, and fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) to identify aneuploidy of chromosomes 4 and 21 and the translocation .

BCR::ABL1-like B-lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL) neoplasms lack the BCR::ABL1 translocation but have a gene expression profile like BCR::ABL1 positive B-ALL. This includes alterations in cytokine receptors and signalling genes, such as and Cases with CRLF2 rearrangements account for approximately 50% of cases of Philadelphia-like acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (Ph-like ALL), and the frequency of specific genomic lesions varies with ethnicity such that IGH::CRLF2 translocations are more common in Hispanics and Native Americans.We report two cases of BCR::ABL1-like ALL, with significant eosinophilia.

Background: Renal hemangioblastoma (HB) is a rare extra-central nervous system (CNS) tumor, typically not linked to Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) Syndrome, and its underlying genetic drivers and molecular mechanisms remain elusive. The objective of this study is to investigate the clinicopathological features and molecular genetic changes of primary renal hemangioblastomas.
Methods: Herein, the clinical, imaging, clinicopathological features, and immunophenotype in 3 cases of renal HB were retrospectively analyzed.

Bilio-biliary anastomosis (BBA) is a critical surgical procedure that is performed with the objective of restoring bile duct continuity. This procedure is often required in cases where there has been an injury to the extrahepatic bile ducts or during liver transplantation. Despite advances in surgical techniques, the healing of BBA remains a significant challenge, with complications such as stricture formation and leakage affecting patient outcomes.
