Soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) are heterogeneous at the clinical and molecular level and need to be further sub-clustered for treatment and prognosis.STSs were sub-clustered based on RNAseq and miRNAseq data extracted from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) The CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)/Cas9 (CRISPR-associated gene 9) system is an RNA-guided, DNA editing method that has been widely used for gene editing, including human viruses. Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV/HHV8), following latent infection in
High-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (HGESS) may harbor YWHAE-NUTM2A/B fusion, ZC3H7B-BCOR fusion, and BCOR internal tandem duplication (ITD). NTRK3 upregulation and pan-Trk expression were reported in soft tissue lesions that share similar morphology and genetic abnormalities. To confirm these
Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is a rare, histologically distinct, soft tissue malignancy with nonspecific clinical features usually described as a nonulcerated, painless, expanding mass. It has a pseudoalveolar appearance with clustered polygonal cells lacking central cohesion. It accounts for
BACKGROUND
Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is a rare tumor, accounting for less than 1% of all primary soft tissue malignant neoplasms. The tumor is a distinct clinicopathologic entity, but its histogenesis is controversial.
METHODS
The needle aspirate from a soft tissue tumor in a 15-year-old
Sarcomas include some of the most aggressive tumors and typically respond poorly to chemotherapy. In recent years, specific gene fusion/mutations and gene over-expression/activation have been shown to drive sarcoma pathogenesis and development. These emerging genomic alterations may provide targets
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is the signature pathology of AIDS. KS-associated herpesvirus (KSHV/HHV-8) is causally linked to KS. Here, we report the first complete profile of KSHV transcription in primary KS lesions using a novel, real-time PCR array. The KSHV latency I mRNAs [latency-associated nuclear
In recent years, undifferentiated small round cell sarcomas (USRCSs) have been divided into a variety of new, rare, sarcoma subtypes, including the group of Ewing-like sarcomas, which have the morphological appearance of Ewing sarcomas, but carry CIC-DUX4, BCOR-CCNB3 and other gene fusions different
Bone and soft tissue sarcomas are an infrequent group of tumours with a prevalence of 4 in 100,000 people/year. Sarcomas, such as synovial sarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma and osteosarcoma, are more usual in adolescents or in young adults. Neoplasias such as leiomyosarcoma or liposarcoma are more frequent
Organ transplant recipients are at high risk to develop secondary cutaneous neoplasms because of immunosuppression. However, little is known about secondary neoplasms developing within a skin area exposed to radiation therapy in these patients. We report a case of a 45-year-old man with history of
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), the etiological agent of Kaposi's sarcoma, belongs to the Herpesviridae family, whose members employ a multicomponent terminase to resolve nonparametric viral DNA into genome-length units prior to their packaging. Homology modeling of the ORF29
Tumors of dendritic reticulum cells are rare neoplasms that exhibit significant morphologic overlap with other malignancies. Fine-needle aspiration cytologic appearances of this neoplasm are not well understood. A 33-yr-old woman presented with a rapidly growing nodular mass in the right upper
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are noncoding small RNAs that function as an endogenous regulator of gene expression. Their dysregulation has been implicated in the development of several cancers. However, the status of miRNA in soft tissue sarcomas has not yet been thoroughly investigated. This study examined
For Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV; also called human herpesvirus 8 [HHV8]), the switch from latency to active lytic replication requires RTA, the product of open reading frame 50 (ORF50). RTA activates transcription from nearly 40 early and delayed-early viral promoters, mainly
Clinical trials with immune checkpoint (IC) inhibition in sarcomas have demonstrated minimal response. Here, we interrogated the tumor microenvironment (TME) of two contrasting soft tissue sarcomas (STS) - Rhabdomyosarcomas (RMS) and Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcomas (UPS) - with
