Abstract

Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (FDCS) can be divided into the conventional type, and the inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT)-like variant type. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is considered to be closely associated with the pathogenesis of IPT-like variant of FDCS. Hepatic FDCS has an exceedingly low incidence of only 29 cases reported, with most of these tumors being classified as the IPT-like type. We report a case of an IPT-like variant of FDCS of the liver in a 61-year old man who presented with no marked symptoms. The patient underwent laparoscopic surgery for the mass and was well during a 13-month follow-up periods. The postoperative pathological examination found a proliferation of spindle cells and a diffuse infiltration of inflammatory cells within the tumor. Immunohistochemistry revealed that neoplastic cells were positive for CD23, clusterin, fascin, and PD-L1, and weakly positive for CD35, SMA, and D2-40. The infiltrating lymphocytes were strongly positive for PD1, and IgG4-positive plasma cells were less than 10 cells/high-power field. In situ hybridization for Epstein-Barr virus encoded RNA (EBER) was negative. To our knowledge, the present case is the second case of hepatic IPT-like variant of FDCS without EBV ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
