Article Abstract
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is a rare aggressive type of sarcoma. The epithelioid variant of MPNST has a distinctive morphology and immunophenotype, which can be a diagnostic challenge when it arises in an unusual location. Awareness of these morphologic entities is essential to make an accurate diagnosis. Here, we report a case of epithelioid MPNST involving the liver. The tumor displayed rhabdoid morphology and an unusual immunophenotype. The report also discusses histopathologic features, molecular alterations, and the differential diagnoses of this rare entity.

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are DNA-protein structures released during a form of programmed neutrophil death known as NETosis. While NETs have been implicated in both tumor inhibition and promotion, their functional role in cancer remains ambiguous. In this study, we compared the NET-forming capacity and functional effects of NETs derived from lung cancer (LC) patients and healthy donors (H).

Mast cell tumors (MCTs) are the most common skin neoplasms in dogs and exhibit highly variable biological behavior. Metastasis primarily affects the lymph nodes, though less frequently, MCTs can infiltrate the spleen, liver, peripheral blood, and bone marrow. Flow cytometry of fine needle aspirate samples represents a non-invasive diagnostic procedure that has shown promise for detecting and quantifying mast cells in primary tumors and lymph nodes.

Background: Recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO) regulates platelet production by promoting megakaryocyte proliferation and has shown promising therapeutic effects in hematopoietic recovery for severe aplastic anemia (SAA). However, its potential impact on immune cells remains unclear.
Methods: This study included 23 patients with SAA, who were divided into two groups based on whether they received rhTPO.

Objective: Kimura disease (KD) is a rare, chronic inflammatory disorder that is typically located in the head and neck region. It is characterized by subcutaneous nodules, eosinophilia, and elevated IgE levels. Its unclear etiology and similarities to malignancies create diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a hereditary infiltrative cardiomyopathy characterized by fibrofatty replacement of the right ventricular myocardium, which may extend to the left ventricle in the advanced stages. Clinically, the condition is commonly associated with right ventricular dilation, malignant arrhythmias, and an increased risk of sudden cardiac death. In this study, we successfully established induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of ARVC patients carrying a heterozygous LMNA gene mutation (c.
