The diagnosis of myoepithelial (ME) tumors outside salivary glands remains challenging, especially in unusual clinical presentations, such as bone or visceral locations. A few reports have indicated EWSR1 gene rearrangement soft tissue ME tumors, and, one case each, the fusion partner was identified either PBX1 ZNF444. However, larger studies to investigate whether these genetic abnormalities are recurrent restricted locations lacking. Sixty-six mainly from (71%), but also skin, bone, and...

Abstract The BRAFT1799A mutation is the most common genetic alteration in papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTC). It also found a subset of microcarcinomas, consistent with role tumor initiation. PTCs are often invasive and present at more advanced stage. high prevalence tall-cell variant poorly differentiated undifferentiated arising from PTCs. To explore BRAFV600E cancer pathogenesis, we targeted its expression to cells transgenic FVB/N mice bovine thyroglobulin promoter. Two Tg-BRAFV600E...

Abstract Hyalinizing clear‐cell carcinoma (HCCC) is a rare, low‐grade salivary gland tumor with distinctive morphology and pattern of hyalinization as well focal mucinous differentiation. However, histological overlap exists other tumors, such epithelial–myoepithelial (EMCa), myoepithelial carcinoma, mucoepidermoid (MEC). The potential relationship between HCCC its morphological mimics has not been yet investigated at the genetic level. In this study, we conducted molecular analysis for...

Abstract Primitive round cell sarcomas of childhood and young adults have been problematic to diagnose classify. Our goal was investigate the pathologic molecular characteristics small blue tumors (SBRCT) that remained unclassified after exhaustive immunohistochemistry screening exclude known sarcoma‐related translocations. As rare examples EWSR1 ‐negative SBRCT shown carry rearrangements for FUS CIC genes, we undertook a systematic these two genes. by FISH were detected in 15/22 (68%),...

BCOR - CCNB3 sarcoma (BCS) is a recently defined genetic entity among undifferentiated round cell sarcomas, which was initially classified as and treated similarly to the Ewing (ES) family of tumors. In contrast ES, BCS shows consistent overexpression, preliminary evidence suggests that these tumors share morphologic features with other harboring alterations, including internal tandem duplication (ITD) BCOR-MAML3 . To further investigate pathologic features, clinical behavior, their...

Round cell sarcomas harboring CIC‐DUX4 fusions have recently been described as highly aggressive soft tissue tumors of children and young adults. Due to partial morphologic immunohistochemical overlap with Ewing sarcoma (ES), ‐positive generally classified ES‐like managed similarly; however, a systematic comparison at the molecular levels between these two groups has not yet conducted. Based on an initial observation that show nuclear immunoreactivity for WT1 ETS transcription factors, FLI1...

Senescent mandibular bone repair poses a formidable challenge without completely satisfactory strategy. Endogenous cell recruitment and osteogenic differentiation are two sequential stages in regeneration, disruptions these processes present significant obstacles to senescent repair. To address issues, engineered extracellular vesicles (EV) with stem functions were developed. This study demonstrated that Apt19s-engineered (Apt19s-EV) recognize recruit marrow mesenchymal cells derived from...

Polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma (PLGA) and cribriform of minor salivary gland (CAMSG) are carcinomas arising most often in oral cavity oropharynx, respectively. Controversy exists as to whether these tumors represent separate entities or variants one spectrum, they appear have significant overlap, but also clinicopathologic differences. As many harbor recurrent translocations, paired-end RNA sequencing FusionSeq data analysis was applied for novel fusion discovery on two CAMSGs PLGAs....

Abstract Despite their shared predilection for superficial soft tissue of distal extremities and frequent local recurrences, myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma (MIFS) hemosiderotic fibrolipomatous tumor (HFLT) have distinct morphologic appearances. Recent studies identified an identical t(1;10)(p22;q24) in five cases MIFS two HFLT, as well common amplifications on 3p11‐12. To investigate further potential relationship to determine the incidence t(1;10) a larger cohort, we subjected seven...

Sclerosing and spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) are rare types of RMS recently reclassified as a stand‐alone pathologic entity, separate from embryonal (ERMS). Although sclerosing share clinical morphologic features, pathogenetic link based on shared molecular alterations has not been established. Spindle in children have associated with less aggressive course compared to adults. Recently, recurrent MYOD1 mutations were described 44% adult RMS, but no pediatric tumors or studied for...

A subset of cutaneous and superficial soft tissue myoepithelial (ME) tumors displays a distinct ductal component closely resembles mixed tumors/pleomorphic adenomas salivary gland. As PLAG1 HMGA2 rearrangements are the most common genetic events in pleomorphic adenomas, we sought to investigate if these abnormalities also present skin/soft ME lesions. In contrast, half deep‐seated lacking differentiation known be genetically unrelated, showing EWSR1 rearrangements. FISH analysis detect was...
