Malignant mixed epithelial and stromal tumor of the kidney with rhabdomyosarcomatous transformation presenting with gross hematuria
Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2022 Jul 5;35(6):837-839. doi: 10.1080/08998280.2022.2090788. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTMalignant rhabdomyosarcoma associated with mixed epithelial and stromal tumor of the kidney (MESTK) is an exceptionally rare clinical phenomenon, with only two reported cases. Here, we describe the case of a middle-aged Middle Eastern woman with a left renal mass diagnosed as malignant MESTK with rhabdomyosarcomatous transformation. The patient initially presented with gross hematuria and was found to have a heterogenous 6.3 × 4.0 cm left renal mass, initially suspected to be renal cell carcinoma. She underwen...

Peripheral dentinogenic ghost cell tumor: case report
Peripheral dentinogenic ghost cell tumor (DGCT) is a rare benign mixed epithelial and mesenchymal odontogenic neoplasm, with approximately 52 cases reported in the literature. A 48-year-old woman was referred for evaluation of a painless, slow-growing swelling in the mandible caused by a removable denture that evolved over 1 year. Her medical history was unremarkable. Intraoral examination showed a pinkish, firm nodule, with erythematous areas, in the left mandibular alveolar ridge. Panoramic radiographic examination revealed no signs of bone involvement.

IL ‐34 in hepatoblastoma cells potentially promote tumor progression via autocrine and paracrine mechanisms
In conclusion, IL-34 expression in embryonal components may induce macrophage chemotaxis in a paracrine manner, and tumor cell proliferation and chemoresistance in an autocrine manner. IL-34 is a potential therapeutic target for hepatoblastoma. (Source: Cancer Medicine)

Case report: two rare cases of mixed epithelial and stromal tumor of the kidney and a review of the literature
We report one rare case of MESTK, which was diagnosed in a 30-year-old woman. A computed tomography (CT) scan revealed one well-defined, uneven mass in the left kidney. The tissue obtained by fine-needle aspiration showed relatively homogeneous cells. Renal cell carcinoma could not be excluded, and left complete nephrectomy was performed, according to the patient's wishes. Another case of MESTK we present here was diagnosed in an 18-year-old male adolescent, who did not have a history of estrogen treatment, with estrogen treatment seen rarely in the clinical setting. Renal cell carcinoma was suspected, and a left partial n...

Molecular Analysis of an Intestinal Neuroendocrine/Non-neuroendocrine Neoplasm (MiNEN) Reveals MLH1 Methylation-driven Microsatellite Instability and a Monoclonal Origin: Diagnostic and Clinical Implications
Mixed neuroendocrine/non-neuroendocrine neoplasms (MiNEN) are rare mixed epithelial neoplasms in which a neuroendocrine component is combined with a non-neuroendocrine component. Here, we provide the clinical, pathologic, and molecular report of a 73-year-old-man presenting with an intestinal MiNEN. The lesion was composed of a well-differentiated G3 neuroendocrine tumor and a colloid adenocarcinoma. The molecular characterization was performed using a multigene next-generation sequencing panel. The neoplasm displayed microsatellite instability due to MLH1 promoter methylation. The extended molecular profile documented the...

Report of two primary renal tumors with myxoid features. Differential diagnosis between benign and malignant entities
Pathologica. 2021 Dec;113(6):427-435. doi: 10.32074/1591-951X-180.ABSTRACTRenal mesenchymal neoplasms are rare entities which can have a benign or a malignant behavior. Herein we describe two renal mesenchymal tumors with myxoid stroma, investigating the wide spectrum of differential diagnosis. With our first case we considered some benign entities such as myxoma, myxoid leiomyoma, and mixed epithelial and stromal tumor; with our second case we considered some sarcomas with myxoid features such as myxofibrosarcoma, low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma, dedifferentiated liposarcoma, and myxoid liposarcoma. During the diagnostic pr...

Spectrum of incipient (or precursor) lesions in the mucosa of the seminal vesicles
Pathol Res Pract. 2021 Dec 11;229:153737. doi: 10.1016/j.prp.2021.153737. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe seminal vesicle (SV) mucosa can show epithelial and stromal tumors. The epithelial tumors include both cystadenoma and carcinomas, adenocarcinoma being the most common. Squamous carcinoma may arise in the SV (1). Rarely mixed epithelial and stromal tumors (MESTs) can occur. Incipient lesions, i.e., primary precursor or preinvasive lesions giving rise to such tumors in the mucosa of the SVs, have been observed in anecdotal cases.PMID:34952428 | DOI:10.1016/j.prp.2021.153737 (Source: Pathology, Research and Practice)
