The specific symptoms and severity of infantile myofibromatosis is broad. Some infants have mild disease that resolves on its own without treatment (spontaneous regression). Others develop extensive disease that involves internal organs and can cause life-threatening complications if left untreated. Therefore, it is important to note that affected individuals may not have all of the symptoms discussed below and that every individual case is unique. Parents should talk to their childs physician and medical team about their specific case, associated symptoms and overall prognosis.. The tumors or lesions that characterize infantile myofibromatosis are usually seen as firm, flesh or purple covered bumps (nodules) on the skin or just underneath the top layer of the skin (subcutaneous layer). These superficial lesions may be freely movable; deeper lesions are generally immovable. Skin lesions may be crusted or hardened (indurated). The lesions are usually not painful or tender. The overlying skin may ...

Infantile myofibromatosis (IM), previously known as congenital generalized fibromatosis, is characterized by the development of tumors in various tissues and organs. IM affects mostly infants and young children. Although tumors are usually detected at birth or during the first two years of life, uterine and adult onsets have been also reported (Chung and Enzinger 1981). Two main types of IM, solitary and multicentric, are distinguished. Each type is further divided in two groups based on the presence or absence of visceral involvement (Wiswell et al. 1988). The solitary type is characterized by the development of a single nodule mainly in the bones, striated muscle, skin, or subcutaneous tissues. In rare cases, solitary tumors have been reported in the viscera. The multicentric type is characterized by the development of multiple nodules in various organs. Visceral involvement is common in this type. The lungs, heart, gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, liver, and bones are most commonly affected. ...

Hemangiopericytoma was first described by Stout and Murray as a less organoid form of glomus tumour arising from pericytes. HEMANGIOPERICYTOMA: A VASCULAR TUMOR FEATURING ZIMMERMANNS PERICYTES.. Enzinger and Smith (Hemangiopericytoma. An analysis of 106 cases. Hum Pathol. 1976 Jan;7(1):61-82.) divided this tumour into two groups:. I. Adult II. Infantile or Congenital Hemangiopericytoma.. The concept of Hemangiopericytoma has been questioned my many authors due to absence of reproducible diagnostic criteria. (Hemangiopericytoma: a dying breed?

The ETV6 gene codes for a transcription factor protein that in mice appears to be required for hematopoiesis and maintenance of the developing vascular network. The gene is located on human chromosome 12 at the p13 position, consists of 14 exons, and is well-known to be involved in a large number of chromosomal rearrangements associated with leukemia and congenital fibrosarcoma.[15] Translocations between it and the PDGFRB gene, notated as t(5;12)(q33;p13), yield a PDGFRB-ETV6 fused gene that encodes a fusion protein, PDGFRB-ETV6. This chimeric protein, unlike the PDGFRB protein: a) has continuously active PDGFRB-mediated tyrosine kinase due to its forced dimerization by the PNT protein binding domain of the ETV6 protein; b) is highly stable due to its resistance to ubiquitin-Proteasome degradation; and c) therefore over-stimulates cell signaling pathways such as STAT5, NF-κB, and Extracellular signal-regulated kinases which promote cell growth and proliferation. This continuous signaling, it ...

PDGFRB Fusion serves as an inclusion eligibility criterion in 15 clinical trials, of which 13 are open and 2 are closed. Of the trials that contain PDGFRB Fusion as an inclusion criterion, 3 are phase 1 (2 open), 1 is phase 1/phase 2 (1 open), 9 are phase 2 (8 open), 1 is phase 2/phase 3 (1 open), and 1 is phase 3 (1 open). Trials with PDGFRB Fusion in the inclusion eligibility criteria most commonly target acute lymphoblastic leukemia, B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction, B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma, and cancer [5]. ...
