Ewing sarcoma (ES) and Ewing-like sarcomas are highly aggressive round cell mesenchymal neoplasms, most often occurring in children and young adults. The identification of novel molecular alterations has greatly contributed to a profound reappraisal of classification, to the extent that the category
We present a case of sarcoma occurring at a site of resected oligodendroglioma without preceding radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Oligosarcoma occurring at sites of resected oligodendroglioma or anaplastic oligodendroglioma with sarcomatous components are rare. Although meningioma or sarcoma-like
A transplantable tumour (RY) and cell lines (RY-PB and clone RY-B-E3 isolated from RY-PB) were established from a naturally occurring endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) found in a 24-month-old female F344 rat. The primary tumour and RY tumours, which had been serially passaged in syngeneic female
We present a rare case of a 31-year-old woman with a mucinous ovarian tumor with sarcoma-like mural nodules. The epithelial elements consisted of a mixture of benign, borderline-malignant, and mucinous adenocarcinoma; the sarcoma-like mural nodules consisted of pleomorphic and epulis-like cells. The
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) accounts for more than 15% of AIDS-related malignancies. The etiology of KS is unresolved but is postulated to be multifactorial, involving viruses and overexpression of cellular growth factors and/or oncogenes. Recently, herpesvirus-like sequences (KSHV) were identified with
Sarcomas of the Ewing family of tumors are aggressive neoplasms occurring in bone and soft tissue of mostly children and young adults. Classical Ewing sarcomas are pathognomonically characterized by fusions between a gene of the RNA-binding TET family (EWSR1 or FUS) with a gene of the
Karyomegalic interstitial nephropathy has been reported as a rare interstitial nephritis in adult patients. Histology shows atypical epithelial cells and large abnormal hyperchromatic nuclei with irregular outlines. We report 3 adolescent patients who all recovered from their initial treatment for
OBJECTIVE
The present review examines the rationale for targeting insulin-like growth factor-I receptor in sarcoma therapy and highlights some key issues that need to be addressed as clinical trials targeting insulin-like growth factor-I receptor proceed.
RESULTS
Preclinical evidence supports proof
Objective: To investigate the morphologic, immunohistochemical, genetic, clinical features and prognosis of Ewing-like BCOR-CCNB3 gene fusion undifferentiated sarcoma (BCOR-CCNB3 fusion sarcoma). Method: Seventeen Ewing-like sarcoma cases were screened for CCNB3 expression and BCOR-CCNB3 fusion
The Ewing-like variation of adamantinoma is a rare entity, leading to challenge its differential diagnosis, notably with Ewing's sarcoma. We are reporting a case of a 20-year-old male who presented with swelling in the left leg that had progressed over a 2-year period. X-rays revealed a tumour in
The pathogenesis of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is suggested to be related to an infectious agent transmitted by sexual contact. Recently, DNA sequences homologous to gamma herpesviridae have been identified in AIDS-associated KS, but no information is available concerning non-AIDS-associated KS. Five
DNA sequences closely related to herpesvirus-like sequences have been found in AIDS-associated Kaposi's sarcoma. Using PCR, we found herpesvirus-like DNA sequences in Kaposi's lesions and normal adjacent skin in five patients with Mediterranean Kaposi's sarcoma. We did not find these sequences in
Ewing-like sarcomas are an emerging subgroup of small round blue cell sarcomas that share various degrees of morphological, immunohistochemical, molecular, and clinical similarity with Ewing sarcoma. Despite these similarities, Ewing-like sarcomas lack the pathognomonic molecular hallmark of Ewing
The aetiology of Kaposi's sarcoma remains obscure, however, epidemiological studies indicate that the disease possesses an infectious aetiology. Recent data revealed the presence of specific herpesvirus-like DNA sequences (KHSV) in all forms of Kaposi's sarcoma indicating that a novel virus may be
Lectin binding patterns in ten mouse malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH)-like sarcomas containing eosinophilic globule (EG) cells and in granular metrial gland (GMG) cells of mouse placenta were stained with nine lectins (Con A, LCA, WGA, DBA, SBA, e-PHA, PNA, RCA-I and UEA-I) by an
