Soft tissue sarcomas are heterogeneous tumors that are difficult to treat. Up to 50 percent of patients develop metastatic disease and require systemic chemotherapy. Ifosfamide and doxorubicin are the two most active agents. A 33-year-old Caucasian woman presented to our facility with a metastatic myxoid liposarcoma. Our patient was initially treated with surgery and radiation therapy, but experienced three recurrences during a six-year period, the first and the last occurring while our patient was pregnant. The first recurrence, which occurred two years after diagnosis and was localized in the left cervical and right axillary region, was treated with surgery followed by chemotherapy. Molecular analysis of this tumor showed a t(12,16) + translocation resulting in a FUS-DDIT3 or EWSR1-DDIT3 fusion. Three years later our patient experienced a second recurrence in the left supraclavicular fossa, upper thoracic and anterior mediastinum, which was treated with surgery alone. Eight months later, during the

Orbital liposarcoma is a rare and usually unsuspected neoplasm. Over a five-year period three female patients aged 22, 71, and 77 years presented with primary myxoid liposarcoma of the orbit. The management of one patient was complicated by a history of orbital decompression for suspected thyroid eye disease. The tumour infiltrates locally beyond a deceptive pseudocapsule, and surgery has to be radical to be effective. ...

The most common TLS-CHOP fusion type detected in our study was type 5-2, followed by type 7-2 fusion, a finding in concordance with data from previous smaller series (13 , 24 , 25) . However, in contrast to some studies (22 , 26) , we and Kuroda et al. (23) found a higher frequency of type 8-2 fusion (10%) and a very small number of fusion variants (1%). Two cases exhibited the EWS-CHOP transcript, bringing the number of reported cases to six (3 , 8 , 9) .. The different combinations of TLS and CHOP genomic breakpoints produce in-frame transcripts because the splice junctions of exons 5, 7, and 8 of TLS and exon 2 of CHOP occur at the same codon nucleotide position. The two main types, fusion of TLS exon 5 to CHOP exon 2 (type 5-2) and fusion of TLS exon 7 to CHOP exon 2 (type 7-2), account for ∼85% of TLS-CHOP fusions. In contrast to a study that found that 3 of 13 cases contained two transcripts (types 7-2 and 5-2), presumably as a result of alternative splicing (13) , none of our 82 cases ...

The patient is a 51 year-old male with a history of right thigh myxoid/round cell liposarcoma. A large pleural/chest wall mass was identified on a routine chest radiograph three months after VATS for resection of a 2.2cm x 2.2cm x 1.5cm right upper lobe pulmonary nodule. The patient was asymptomatic.

The ZytoLight ® SPEC FUS Dual Color Break Apart Probe is designed to detect translocations involving the chromosomal region 16p11.2 harboring the FUS (fused in sarcoma) gene (a.k.a. TLS, FUS/TLS, hnRNP P2) by Fluorescence in situ Hybridization (FISH). The FUS gene encodes an RNA-binding protein, the C-terminal end of which is involved in protein and RNA binding and which appears to be involved in transcriptional activation with its N-terminal end. It shares distinct characteristics with EWSR1 and TAF15 which together with FUS are frequently referred to as the FET family of proteins. FUS gene rearrangements have been shown to be involved in both solid tumors and leukemias fusing the N-terminal end of FUS to various fusion partners. The most frequent translocation involving the FUS gene region is t(12;16)(q13;p11). Occurring in over 90% of myxoid liposarcomas, the FUS-DDIT3 fusion protein is regarded as being consequential for the development of myxoid liposarcomas by acting as an abnormal

What are the aims of this leaflet? This leaflet has been written to help you understand more about digital myxoid cysts - what they are, what causes them, what can be done about them and where you can find out more information about them.. What is a digital myxoid cyst? A digital myxoid cyst (sometimes called a mucous cyst) is a benign swelling that occurs on the fingers or, sometimes, the toes. Digital myxoid cysts are not contagious and are not a form of skin cancer.. The term cyst is from the Greek kystis meaning a bag or pouch; myxoid and mucoid refer to the jelly-like contents. Digital derives from the Latin digitus, meaning finger or toe.. Digital myxoid cysts occur most frequently in people in their sixties.. What causes a digital myxoid cyst? The exact cause is not known. The cyst is often connected to the lining of the finger or toenail joint, and is usually located between the joint and the nail.. Is a digital myxoid cyst hereditary? Digital myxoid cysts are not hereditary.. What does ...

Histological slides of all the patients tumours were reviewed for diagnosis by an expert pathologist at the NCC who had developed the tumour grading system that we used. Whenever necessary, immunohistochemical staining was carried out to confirm the diagnosis or tumour type according to the classification system described by Enzinger and Weiss.1 Tumour specimens were immunostained with the MIB-1 antibody directed at Ki-67 (Dako, Glostrup, Denmark; diluted 1/100 and autoclaved) and the MIB-1 (Ki-67) labelling index (LI) was estimated by determining the percentage of Ki-67 positive cell nuclei in each 1000 tumour cells in the region of the tumour with the greatest density of Ki-67 staining viewed under a light microscope. A MIB-1 score based grading system (MIB-1 system) is a three grade system obtained by summing the tumour differentiation, tumour necrosis, and the MIB-1 scores, each of which was given a score of 0, 1, 2, or 3.10 The tumour differentiation score according to the histological ...

Soft tissue sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of rare malignancies that account for 0.72% of new malignancies and 0.65% of malignant deaths. Advanced sarcomas carry a poor prognosis. Angiogenesis is a hallmark of tumour growth, and there is increasing evidence that antiangiogenic drugs, including axitinib, can lead to tumour regression and improve patient survival in a variety of tumours.. Patients with angiosarcoma, synovial sarcoma, leiomyosarcoma and other sarcomas will be separately evaluated.. Patients will take axitinib 5mg tablets by mouth twice daily. This will be continued for 2 years or until disease progression, or development of limiting toxicity. In the event of severe toxicity, axitinib will be stopped until the toxicity has improved. Treatment may be interrupted for a maximum of 2 weeks. Following this, axitinib can be restarted at a lower dose of 3 mg twice daily. If the toxicity has not improved sufficiently, axitinib will be permanently stopped.. Patients will be monitored ...

Yesterday, the Union advised employees of eight confirmed cases of cancer among agents who have been assigned to perform Backscatter/VACIS duties in the El Paso Sector. After seeing NBPCs advisory, a former Border Patrol employee also assigned to perform Backscatter duties advised us that he is afflicted with another type of cancer, Myxoid Liposarcoma. None of the aforementioned employees were genetically predisposed to their respective diagnoses. The eight confirmed cases we are aware of currently only consist of male employees, four of which reside in El Paso County and 4 of which reside in Dona Ana County. In 2014, El Paso County, Texas, reported a thyroid cancer incidence rate for males at 7.6 persons diagnosed with the disease for every 100,000 people. In 2014, Dona Ana County, New Mexico, reported a thyroid cancer incidence rate for males at 6.0 persons diagnosed with the disease for every 100,000 people.. NBPC urges Border Patrol agents who have been assigned to perform those duties to ...

mean expression of both h Met and HGF was notably higher in CCS as compared to other soft tissue sarcomas, though higher HGF expression is specially notable in a few CCS samples. Immunohistochemical proof of h Met expression in primary human CCS has been previously described. We reviewed CCS made BYL719 cell lines and found that cMet was expressed and phosphorylated on tyrosine residues in the kinase domain in two of the three lines during normal growth.. MITF expression was knocked down by us using lentivirally sent shRNA and direct siRNA transfection, to check for direct regulation of c Met by MITF in CCS cells. Despite decreased MITF appearance, c Met levels were unchanged. We then examined the effect of EWS ATF1 hit down using a series of ATF1 siRNAs. siRNAs that identify the spot of ATF1 maintained in the EWS ATF1 blend nearly completely eliminated c Met expression in CCS292 cells whereas those that target solely wild form ATF1 had no influence on c Met degrees. ATF1 expression was greatly ...

The α-catenin molecule links E-cadherin/ β-catenin or E-cadherin/plakoglobin complexes to the actin cytoskeleton. We studied several invasive human colon carcinoma cell lines lacking α-catenin. They showed a solitary and rounded morphotype that correlated with increased invasiveness. These round cell variants acquired a more normal epithelial phenotype upon transfection with an α-catenin expression plasmid, but also upon treatment with the protein kinase C (PKC) activator 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA). Video registrations showed that the cells started to establish elaborated intercellular junctions within 30 min after addition of TPA. Interestingly, this normalizing TPA effect was not associated with α-catenin induction. Classical and confocal immunofluorescence showed only minor TPA-induced changes in E-cadherin staining. In contrast, desmosomal and tight junctional proteins were dramatically rearranged, with a conversion from cytoplasmic clusters to obvious concentration at ...

Our data revealed that HMGA1 is highly expressed in liposarcoma cell lines and that is strongly involved in the mechanism of cell proliferation, mobility and invasion of this subtype of tumor. The in vitro results were confirmed in vivo by the RT-PCR and IHC analyses of 68 specimens of different subtypes of liposarcoma derived from patients surgically treated at Regina Elena National Cancer Institute. The aggressive subtypes de-differentiated and myxoid liposarcoma showed higher HMGA1 levels than well-differentiated liposarcoma. Furthermore, trabectedin, a marine alkaloid isolated from the tunicate Ecteinascidia turbinata, down-regulates HMGA1 and E2F1, as well as its downstream targets Vimentin and ZEB1 in sensitive myxoid liposarcoma cells, suggesting a critical role of the transcriptional complex HMGA1/E2F1 in the regulation of the mesenchymal compartment. These data were further confirmed in vivo by the IHC analysis of myxoid sarcoma specimens derived from patients that received trabectedin ...

Myxoid pleomorphic liposarcoma is a recently defined subtype of liposarcoma, which preferentially involves the mediastinum of young patients and shows mixed histological features of conventional myxoid liposarcoma and pleomorphic liposarcoma. While myxoid pleomorphic liposarcoma is known to lack the EWSR1/FUS-DDIT3 fusions characteristic of the former, additional genetic data are limited. To further understand this tumor type, we extensively examined a series of myxoid pleomorphic liposarcomas by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), shallow whole genome sequencing (sWGS) and genome-wide DNA methylation profiling. The 12 tumors occurred in 6 females and 6 males, ranging from 17 to 58 years of age (mean 33 years, median 35 years), and were located in the mediastinum (n = 5), back, neck, cheek and leg, including thigh. Histologically, all cases consisted of relatively, bland, abundantly myxoid areas with a prominent capillary vasculature, admixed with much more cellular and less myxoid foci ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Paratesticular liposarcoma. T2 - A clinicopathologic study. AU - Montgomery, Elizabeth. AU - Fisher, Cyril. PY - 2003/1/1. Y1 - 2003/1/1. N2 - Paratesticular liposarcomas are rare and typically reported as isolated cases or as components of larger studies of liposarcomas. We studied a series of these tumors. All cases of paratesticular liposarcomas were retrieved from the archives of the Royal Marsden Hospital and the Johns Hopkins Hospital. Slides were reviewed and clinical information obtained. There were 30 paratesticular liposarcomas from men aged 41-87 years (mean 63 years; median 65 years) that involved the spermatic cord (23, 76%), testicular tunics (6, 20%), and epididymis (1, 4%). Tumors ranged from 3 to 30 cm (mean 11.7 cm; median 10 cm). Nineteen were well-differentiated liposarcomas (WDLs) and 10 were dedifferentiated liposarcomas (DDLs, five with high-grade and five with low-grade dedifferentiation). One was a myxoid/round cell liposarcoma with 70% round cell areas. ...

Liposarcoma is an extremely rare primary bone sarcoma. We report a case of primary pleomorphic liposarcoma that arose in an 18 year old male in the metaphysis of the left tibia. Plain radiographs showed a partly sclerotic lesion and MR imaging a heterogeneous tumour predominantly isointense on T1- and high-signal on T2-weighted sequences with focal areas of increased T1 signal that suppressed with fat saturation. PET/CT showed marked FDG uptake (SUV = 17.1) in the primary tumour as well as a metastasis in the right distal femur and multiple small pulmonary metastases. Histologically, the tumour was a pleomorphic liposarcoma containing large tumour cells with vacuolated cytoplasm and hyperchromatic pleomorphic nuclei as well as numerous lipoblasts and scattered brown fat-like cells. Tumour cells strongly expressed FABP4/aP2, a marker of adipocyte differentiation, and UCP1, a marker of brown fat, but not S100. The case was treated with neoadjuvant MAP chemotherapy, resulting in extensive (| 95%) necrosis

The magnetic resonance (MR) imaging features of liposarcoma were correlated with histology in 15 patients. The MR findings for liposarcoma were not specific.

A malignant tumor derived from primitive or embryonal lipoblastic cells. It may be composed of well-differentiated fat cells or may be dedifferentiated: myxoid (LIPOSARCOMA, MYXOID), round-celled, or pleomorphic, usually in association with a rich network of capillaries. Recurrences are common and dedifferentiated liposarcomas metastasize to the lungs or serosal surfaces. (From Dorland, 27th ed; Stedman, 25th ed ...

Janets project is in liposarcoma. Liposarcomas are a type of soft tissue sarcoma that arises in fat cells. Well-differentiated (WD) liposarcomas have clear cell walls and a regular appearence under the microscope. De-differentiated (DD) liposarcomas are much messier and irregular. Both are the most frequent subtype of liposarcomas in adults. Well-differentiated liposarcomas can recur looking more like the de-differentiated type. This is associated with increased aggressiveness. In contrast, completely well-differentiated liposarcomas are usually readily curable.

|i|Aim|/i|. Our study aimed to determine prognostic factors for survival and recurrence in myxofibrosarcomas based on the experience of a single institution. |i|Methods|/i|. Patients who had been diagnosed with a myxofibrosarcoma were identified from our database. Survival and recurrence were evaluated with Kaplan Meier survival curves for univariate and cox regression for multivariate analysis. |i|Results|/i|. 174 patients with a diagnosis of myxofibrosarcoma were identified. Two patients were excluded due to incomplete information, leaving 172 patients with a mean age of 67 years. Surgery was undertaken in all but 6 patients. Five-year survival was better for myxofibrosarcomas when compared to other soft tissue sarcomas (63% versus 57%). Size, grade of tumour, age, and metastases were all found to be prognostic factors. Local recurrence occurred in 29 patients (17%) with an overall risk of 15% at 5 years. Previous inadvertent excision significantly raised this risk to 45%.

FINAL DIAGNOSIS:. POORLY DIFFERENTIATED LIPOSARCOMA WITH SPINDLE CELL, ROUND CELL COMPONENTS AND FOCAL OSSEOUS AND CHONDROID METAPLASIA. DICUSSION:. Liposarcoma is one of the most common soft tissue sarcoma in adults. Liposarcomas are usually large and occur most frequently in the lower extremities, retroperitoneal, perirenal, mesenteric region and shoulder area.. Grossly, they are well circumscribed but not encapsulated. They are divided into five subtypes: well-differentiated, dedifferentiated, myxoid, round cell, and pleomorphic. Mixed forms occur as seen in this case. The common morphologic denominator of liposarcoma is the lipoblasts. The criteria used for identifying lipoblasts include a hyperchromatic indented or sharply scalloped nucleus, lipid-rich (neutral fat) droplets in the cytoplasm, and an appropriate histologic background. Well-differentiated liposarcoma is the most common form with a peak incidence during sixth and seventh decades of life. Men and women are equally affected. ...

LIPOSARCOMA MIXOIDE PDF - Liposarcoma is a rare cancer of connective tissues that resemble fat cells under a microscope. It accounts for up to 18% of all soft tissue sarcomas.

Mortality rates for patients with liposarcoma are highly heterogeneous and are largely dependent on the histologic subtype, location, tumor burden, and patient age ( 6, 7). Histologic subtype based on the morphologic appearance of the tumor is the most important prognostic factor for survival, yet prior studies have shown a high level of disagreement (25-40%) even among expert pathologists for histologic type ( 16, 17) and emphasize the need to develop new objective methods of liposarcoma classification. High-throughput transcriptional profiling using DNA microarrays provides tools to tackle this heterogeneity. Genome-wide expression studies of various cancers have identified subtypes of tumors previously unrecognized but biologically and clinically relevant with respect to morphologic features and prognosis ( 9, 10, 18- 20). This is important because molecular distinct tumor subtypes represent different diseases that ideally would require different treatments. Most recently, particular subtypes ...

Bone Morphogenic Protein 2 (BMP2) is a multipurpose cytokine, important in the development of bone and cartilage, and with a role in tumour initiation and progression. BMP2 signal transduction is dependent on two distinct classes of serine/threonine kinase known as the type I and type II receptors. Although the type I receptors (BMPR1A and BMPR1B) are largely thought to have overlapping functions, we find tissue and cellular compartment specific patterns of expression, suggesting potential for distinct BMP2 signalling outcomes dependent on tissue type. Herein, we utilise large publicly available datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Protein Atlas to define a novel role for BMP2 in the progression of dedifferentiated liposarcomas. Using disease free survival as our primary endpoint, we find that BMP2 confers poor prognosis only within the context of high BMPR1A expression. Through further annotation of the TCGA sarcoma dataset, we localise this effect to dedifferentiated liposarcomas but find

Taking the perfect selfie is an exercise of trial and error. We snap, study and delete, until we finally capture ourselves in our best light. Now imagine the difficulty of obtaining a high-quality image in a nonconventional medium: The inside of the body.. That is the perennial challenge for radiologists who use magnetic resonance (MR) scanners to see deep inside the internal structures of the human body and make diagnoses. But it is not poor light that can mar their picture, just a bad signal. To tackle this troublesome issue, GE Healthcare is building artificial intelligence (AI) software designed to cut through the noise to deliver razor-sharp anatomical imaging. This meaningful quality boost can enable faster, more accurate patient diagnoses and, in turn, better outcomes.. First, a quick primer on modern MR technology. MR scanners are giant, tube-shaped machines used by radiologists to image organs, muscle and other soft tissues, as well as brain activity. Unlike computed tomography (CT) and ...

Your doctor will take your history, perform a physical examination and perform a bedside ultrasound examination to confirm the diagnosis and assess the extent of the damage to the muscle. Sometimes further investigations, such as a MRI, may be required to assess for other soft tissue damage. This will give us an estimation of how long recovery would take. We can prescribe treatment to reduce pain and swelling, restore range of motion and facilitate healing of the muscle. This includes physical rehabilitation with a progressive plan to return to activity. ...

An improved radial expansible retractor and a method of minimally invasive surgery, by opening a channel in the brain or other soft tissue of a patient, by inserting the radial expansible retractor into the body of the patient, and by widening the channel at a continuous and gentle rate. The use of the improved radial expansible retractor renders surgical procedures, including neurosurgical procedures, shorter, less traumatic, and more reliable, reducing risk and the need for subsequent surgery and reducing recovery time. Procedures are carried out with real time monitoring of the retracted brain perfusion pressure. A plurality of improved radial expansible retractors may be used in a single operation. The improved radial expansible retractor allows access to areas of the brain previously almost impossible to access.

Physical activity maintains the structural and functional integrity of the joint tissues. Without physical activity of sufficient intensity, duration, frequency and variety, joints weaken and stiffen, and hand function deteriorates.. In the well-functioning joint, the loading and unloading of joint tissues through movement stimulates an on-going process of tissue breakdown and repair that maintains or enhances tissue integrity and joint function. Excessive force is absorbed and the joint is protected from damage by the articular cartilage and other soft tissues.. When the forces acting on a joint are extreme, injury occurs, such as tendon rupture or cartilage and bone fractures. However, repetitive low loads can cause microtrauma to cartilage and bone that may exceed the ability of the joint to repair itself.. Some authors view OA as a process that is attempting to improve joint stability after cartilage breaks down. In this theory, the formation of osteophytes (bony projections that form along ...

Stomatitis is a more severe form of inflammation than gingivitis and usually involves the tongue, lips and other soft tissues in and around the mouth as well as the gingiva (gum line). Stomatitis is often very painful causing a decreased appetite due to the pain. Often the dogs haircoat will appear unkempt due to lack of self grooming.. ...

Many people with allergy symptoms and also small mouths will also have grooves or indentations along the side of these tongues. This is whats called tongue scalloping. Since the tongue and other soft tissues grow to their genetically established dimension, and because of crowding from getting smaller jaws, the teeth leave their imprints over the side of the tongue. When you have extra inflammation from gastric reflux this is a offered with sleep-breathing problems, after that this scalloping problem receives worse. Not too surprisingly, language scalloping is predictive of getting apneas, hypopneas, or oxygen drops in practically 90% of individuals ...

Fibromyalgia is a common syndrome in which a person has long-term, body-wide pain and tenderness in the joints, muscles, tendons, and other soft tissues. Fibromyalgia has also been linked to fatigue, sleep problems, headaches, depression, and anxiety.

Supplementary MaterialsFig E1 mmc1. improvement ratio values of >1. In contrast, the cell line with mutant showed sensitization enhancement ratio values of 1 1. Immunoblotting revealed induced reactivation of the p53-MDM2-p21 signaling?axis in response to combination therapy in all cell lines with wild-type Removal of MDM2 inhibitor (with or?without radiation therapy) led to the emergence of ploidy-based heterogeneous subpopulations (4N and >4N) in wild-type cells and not in mutant cells. Immunoblotting of cell cycle markers (G1, G2/M) revealed the generation of 4N?G1?cells. Sorting and long-term fate analysis of different populations (2N, 4N, and >4N) by colony assay displayed attenuated?colony-forming potential and augmented senescence of the 4N and >4N cells contributing to the radiosensitization effect. Conclusions Nutlin-3 increases the vulnerability of liposarcoma cell lines to radiation by augmented activation of p53. The cells underwent senescence. Presence and activation of p53 are ...

Hold the bean bag (or other soft, weighted object) in your right hand and gently but firmly tap from your left upper back/ shoulder, down the outside of your left arm, up the inside of your left arm, across your collarbones/ upper chest, then switch hands. Repeat the process across your right upper back/ shoulder, down the outside of your right arm, and up the inside of your right arm. You can continue this cycle back and forth or move to your lower body.. To tap your lower body, hold the bean bag (or other soft, weighted object) in your right hand and gently but firmly tap from your left hip down the outside of your left leg, across the top of your left foot, and up the inside of your left leg. Switch hands, and repeat the process beginning at your right hip, down the outside of your right left, and up the inside of your right leg. You may find it helpful to tap along your lower back and buttocks one side at a time, or, hold a weighted object in each hand while standing, twisting side-to-side, ...

Liposarcoma (LPS) can be divided into 4 different subtypes, of which well-differentiated LPS (WDLPS) and dedifferentiated LPS (DDLPS) are the most common. WDLPS is typically low grade, whereas DDLPS is high grade, aggressive, and carries a worse prognosis. WDLPS and DDLPS frequently co-occur in patients. However, it is not clear whether DDLPS arises independently from WDLPS, or whether epigenomic alterations underly the histopathological differences of these subtypes. Here, we profiled 9 epigenetic marks in tumor samples from 151 patients with LPS and showed elevated trimethylation of histone H3 at Lys9 (H3K9me3) levels in DDLPS tumors. Integrated ChIP-seq and gene expression analyses of patient-derived cell lines revealed that H3K9me3 mediates differential regulation of genes involved in cellular differentiation and migration. Among these, Kruppel-like factor 6 ...
