Article Abstract
Myeloid sarcoma (MS) is an uncommon localized extramedullary tumor composed of immature myeloid precursor cells that can affect any organ. Promyelocytic sarcoma (PS), an extremely rare subtype of MS, is characterized by immature myeloid cells with features of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). We describe a case of pediatric PS that presented as a solitary sacral mass without any evidence of systemic or bone marrow involvement. The cytopathologic evaluation using touch imprint demonstrated numerous blasts with bilobed nuclei, cytoplasmic hyper-granularity, and aggregates of Auer rods, which are typical cytomorphologic features of APL. Herein, we report an extremely rare case of isolated PS in a child, emphasizing the importance of cytomorphologic evaluation, which is complemented by the findings from a comprehensive work-up.

Integration of torque teno mini virus (TTMV) generating the TTMV::RARA fusion represents a newly recognized subtype of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) that merits detailed investigation. We present the first comprehensive characterization of its epidemiologic profile, clinical presentation, virologic characteristics, and underlying molecular mechanisms. Our findings indicate that TTMV::RARA is more prevalent in pediatric patients and represents the second most common retinoic acid receptor fusion after PML::RARA.

Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease characterized by diverse genetic abnormalities. The standard of care remains to be chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation. In acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL), differentiation therapy with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) has significantly improved outcomes.

Background: Advances in care have led to improvements in survival for adolescents and young adults (AYAs) diagnosed with cancer; however, the risk of early death remains high for certain cancers, particularly acute leukemias. Risk factors for early death in AYAs diagnosed with acute leukemia have not been well studied.
Methods: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results registry was used to assess risk of early death (within 2 months of diagnosis) in AYAs diagnosed with acute leukemia (n = 16 153).
LncRNA XIST facilitates the odontogenic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells via the FUS/ZBTB16.

Objective: This study aims to explore the regulatory mechanism of long noncoding RNA X inactive specific transcript (lncRNA XIST) in the odontogenic differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). hDPSCs were obtained from freshly extracted third molars and identified by flow cytometry.
Methodology: Odontogenic differentiation was induced in mineralized culture medium, and hDPSCs were infected with shRNA lentivirus targeting XIST or fused in sarcoma (FUS), followed by detection of alkaline phoshpatase (ALP) activity, alizarin red staining of mineralized nodules, Real-Time Quantitative Reverse Transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) quantification of XIST expression, and Western blot analysis of FUS, ZBTB16, and odontogenic differentiation markers (DSPP and DMP1).

Background: Granulocytic sarcoma (GS), or myeloid sarcoma or chloroma, is a tumoral mass containing myeloblasts and immature granulocytes in an anatomic site other than the bone marrow. GS is very rare in children with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). This case report presents a rare case of GS manifesting as a solitary bone mass.
