Background: Ewing sarcoma and Ewing-like sarcoma are both highly aggressive small round cell sarcomas, while CIC rearranged sarcoma (CRS), the most common specific type of Ewing-like sarcoma, exhibits a more aggressive course than Ewing sarcoma and represents a distinct family of sarcomas. NUT midline carcinoma family member 1 (NUTM1) is a characteristic fusion gene of NUT midline carcinoma. In this paper, the intracranial tumor CIC is mainly fused with NUTM1, which is considered to be a molecular variant of CIC sarcoma.
Case Presentation: We report a 9 years old female patient diagnosed with CIC rearrangement sarcoma with CIC-NUTM1 gene rearrangement and PMS2 frameshift mutation, WHO grade 4. We treated the patient with surgical resection. Due to the poor postoperative condition of the patient, coupled with the inherently poor prognosis of CIC-NUTM1 sarcoma, the patient ultimately had a short survival time and the treatment outcome was not satisfactory.
Conclusion: We experienced a rare case of an intracranial tumor with CIC-NUTM1 fusion and a PMS2 frameshift mutation. Due to the small sample size, rapid progression, and poor prognosis associated with this type of tumor, it is essential to enhance understanding and diagnosis of this type of sarcoma.

Kaposi sarcoma (KS) remains a global health concern. In sub-Saharan Africa, where there is a high burden of HIV-1 infection, there is also a high prevalence of infection by the etiologic agent of KS, the KS-associated herpesvirus (KSHV). Despite the successes of antiretroviral treatment (ART), the burden of KS and other KSHV-associated malignancies among people living with HIV under ART remained high, stressing the need for a greater understanding of the immune response against KSHV infection.

Introduction: Pelvic bone sarcomas are rare, heterogeneous malignancies that present significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Despite advances in imaging, surgical navigation, and multidisciplinary care, it remains unclear whether these innovations have improved outcomes across all histiotypes.
Material And Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 475 patients surgically treated for primary pelvic bone sarcomas between 2003 and 2022.

DOTANOC avidity is a well-known feature of head and neck paragangliomas, detected using 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT due to their high somatostatin receptor expression. However, other hyper vascular tumours can also show increased tracer uptake, requiring further evaluation. We present a case of DOTANOC avid soft tissue mass in the right posterior cervical triangle on 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT, initially suspected to be a paraganglioma.

Background: Local control strategies in pediatric oncology are guided by disease-specific considerations. Effective communication of the goals of surgical procedure and associated intraoperative events plays a crucial role in shaping subsequent treatment decisions. However, accurately and comprehensively documenting these findings remains challenging, with considerable variability across different tumor types.

Langerhans cell sarcoma (LCS) is an aggressive malignant neoplasm with a Langerhans cell immunophenotype and high-grade cytological features. Occasionally, it can coexist with other hematopoietic neoplasms with proven clonal relationship. Most of these neoplasms were found to be of lymphoid origin.
