Folliculotropic mycosis fungoides is a variant of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma with distinct clinicopathological features. We describe here the clinical presentation, pathology findings and treatment outcome in 15 Norwegian patients. All patients were diagnosed between 1997 2010 at Oslo University Hospital. A spectrum skin lesions, both typical atypical, such as leonine facies, acneiform psoriasiform plaques, purulent ulcerations cystic milia-like lesions for fungoides, seen. Histological...

The differential diagnosis between bone marrow involvement by lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL) and marginal zone (MZL) is challenging because histology immunophenotype of both diseases overlap. We revisited the diagnostic pathology features in marrow. studied a series trephine biopsy specimens from 59 patients with Waldenström macroglobulinemia without extramedullary 23 well-characterized MZL who also had involvement.

Abstract Purpose: The interaction between tumor cells, stroma, and endothelial cells is important for the dissemination of cells. aim present study to examine vascularity in primary breast carcinomas its prognostic significance relationship with cell dissemination. Experimental Design: A total 498 invasive were analyzed. Representative sections stained CD34 CD105, was quantified by Chalkley method. counts, vascular invasion, disseminated (DTC) bone marrow, other clinicopathologic variables,...

Background/Aim: Malignant chondroid syringoma is a rare tumor of unknown pathogenesis. Materials and Methods: Genetic analyses were performed on malignant syringoma. Results: G-banding analysis short-term cultured cells yielded the karyotype 46,Y,t(X;6)(p11;p21)[15]/46,XY[2]. RNA sequencing detected an in-frame fusion PHF1 from 6p21 with TFE3 Xp11, verified by RT-PCR Sanger sequencing. Genomic PCR showed that PHF1-TFE3 junction was identical to found RT-PCR. Conclusion: genetically related...

Pilomatrix carcinoma is a rare skin tumor with an origin from hair matrix cells. The locally aggressive great tendency for recurrence, but the metastatic potential limited. A pilomatrix in 76‐year‐old female lymph node metastases presented. In addition to classical histopathological criteria and DNA ploidy analysis, broad panel of antibodies was used evaluation potential. Both primary metastasis revealed extremely high proliferation apoptotic rates. High constant expressions CD44v6...

Transdifferentiation of B cell lymphoma germinal center origin to histiocytic sarcoma has recently been described but is a rare occurrence. The cause for loss differentiation in these lymphomas unknown. We investigated whether somatic hypermutation the PAX-5 gene, transcription factor that important maintaining identity and frequently mutated origin, might be expression thus phenotype. However, no gene was detected two cases we studied. molecular basis transdifferentiation remains therefore...

Acquired mutations were recently described in cutaneous T-cell lymphomas for the JAK1, JAK3, STAT3, and STAT5B genes of JAK-STAT pathway. In present study, RNA-sequencing a primary CD4 positive lymphoma carrying three-way t(9;13;16)(p24;q34;p11) chromosome translocation showed that JAK2 from band 9p24 was rearranged fused to novel partner gene, ATXN2L, 16p11. RT-PCR together with Sanger sequencing verified presence ATXN2L-JAK2 fusion transcript. The gene would code chimeric protein...

MX2 protein is a dynamin-like GTPase2 that has recently been identified as an interferon-induced restriction factor of HIV-1 and other primate lentiviruses. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs45430, in intron the gene, was previously reported novel melanoma susceptibility locus genome-wide association studies. Functionally, however, it still unclear whether how contributes to tumorigenesis. Here, we show differentially expressed tumors cell lines, with most metastatic lines showing...
