BACKGROUND: Primary pulmonary myxoid sarcoma (PPMS) is a rare, low-grade malignant tumor, constituting approximately 0.2% of all lung tumors. Despite its rarity, PPMS possesses distinctive histological features and molecular alterations, notably the presence of EWSR1-CREB1 gene fusion. However, its precise tissue origin remains elusive, posing challenges in clinical diagnosis.
UNASSIGNED: A 20-year-old male patient underwent a routine physical examination 6 months prior, revealing a pulmonary mass. Following surgical excision, microscopic evaluation unveiled predominantly short spindle-shaped tumor cells organized in a fascicular, beam-like, or reticular pattern. The stromal matrix exhibited abundant mucin, accompanied by lymphocytic and plasma cell infiltration, with Russell bodies evident in focal areas. Immunophenotypic profiling revealed positive expression of vimentin and epithelial membrane antigen in tumor cells, whereas smooth muscle actin and S-100, among others, were negative. Ki-67 proliferation index was approximately 5%. Subsequent second-generation sequencing identified the characteristic EWSR1-CREB1 gene fusion. The definitive pathological diagnosis established PPMS. The patient underwent no adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy and remained recurrence-free during a 30-month follow-up period.
CONCLUSIONS: We report a rare case of PPMS located within the left lung lobe interlobar fissure, featuring Russell body formation within the tumor stroma, a novel finding in PPMS. Furthermore, the histomorphological characteristics of this case highlight the diagnostic challenge it poses, as it may mimic inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma, or hemangiopericytoma-like fibrous histiocytoma. Therefore, accurate diagnosis necessitates an integrated approach involving morphological, immunohistochemical, and molecular analyses.

Targeted therapy and immunotherapy are both important in the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Accurate diagnose and precise treatment are key in achieving long survival of patients. MET fusion is a rare oncogenic factor, whose optimal detection and treatment are not well established. Here, we report on a 32-year-old female lung adenocarcinoma patient with positive PD-L1 and negative driver gene detected by DNA-based next-generation sequencing (NGS). A radical resection of the primary lesion after chemotherapy combined with PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor administration indicated primary immuno-resistance according to her pathological response and rapid relapse. A rare CD47-MET was detected by RNA-based NGS, which was confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Multiplex immunofluorescence revealed a PD-L1 related heterogeneous immunosuppressive microenvironment with little distribution of CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells. Savolitinib therapy resulted in a progression-free survival (PFS) of >12 months, until a new secondary resistance mutation in MET p.D1228H was detected by re-biopsy and joint DNA-RNA-based NGS after disease progression. In this case, CD47-MET fusion NSCLC was primarily resistant to immunotherapy, sensitive to savolitinib, and developed secondary MET p.D1228H mutation after targeted treatment. DNA-RNA-based NGS is useful in the detection of such molecular events and tracking of secondary mutations in drug resistance. To this end, DNA-RNA-based NGS may be of better value in guiding precise diagnosis and individualized treatment in this patient population.

YAP1-KMT2A融合肉瘤是一种罕见的软组织肉瘤新亚型，好发于青壮年，形态学与硬化性上皮样纤维肉瘤（SEF）有一定程度重叠，但不表达MUC4。本例患者为34岁女性，左腋下无痛性肿块半年。肿瘤周界相对清楚，由大小形态相对一致的上皮样细胞呈小簇状、短条索状、梁状、巢状或弥漫片状分布于致密胶原化间质中，局部可见血管外皮瘤样结构和地图样坏死。瘤细胞无显著异型性，核分裂象约15个/10 HPF。瘤细胞表达上皮细胞膜抗原、CD99、cyclin D1和BCOR，MUC4阴性。荧光原位杂交显示KMT2A基因易位，二代测序显示YAP1-KMT2A基因融合。常规病理工作中，若遇到形态类似SEF，但不表达MUC4的肿瘤，要考虑到YAP1-KMT2A融合肉瘤的可能性，并行分子检测予以明确。.

The widespread use of advanced molecular techniques has led to the identification of several tumor types with PLAG1 gene fusions some of which also affect the skin and soft tissues. Herein, we present a 38-year-old female with a subcutaneous tumor affecting her forearm, which does not seem to fit into any currently recognized entity. It was a well-circumscribed tumor measuring 6 × 4,5 × 4 cm. It had a thick capsule composed of bland spindle cells forming palisades and Verocay body-like structures within a myxocollagenous background. Scattered calcifications were dispersed throughout the lesion. No cytological atypia, mitotic activity, or necrosis were present. Targeted NGS revealed a SOX10::PLAG1 fusion and fluorescent in situ hybridization confirmed the presence of PLAG1 gene rearrangement. The neoplastic cells showed a diffuse immunohistochemical expression of S100, SOX10, and PLAG1, as well as patchy desmin and CD34 positivity. The methylation profile of this tumor did not match any other entity covered by the DKFZ sarcoma classifier and apart from the gain of chromosome 12, the copy number profile was normal. The tumor was completely excised, and the patient has been free of disease for 4 years since the excision. While more cases are needed to confirm this tumor as a distinct entity, we propose a provisional name \"SOX10::PLAG1-rearranged calcifying spindle cell tumor.\"

Lung cancer is the most common malignant disease and the leading cause of cancer death in China. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for over 80% of all lung cancers, and the probability of NSCLC gene mutations is high, with a wide variety of types. With the development of next-generation sequencing (NGS) detection technology, more and more patients with rare fusion gene mutations are detected. Neuregulin 1 (NRG1) gene is a rare oncogenic driver that can lead to activation of human epidermal growth factor receptor 3 (Her3/ErbB3) mediated pathway, resulting in tumor formation. In this article, we reported a case of mixed NSCLC with CRISPLD2-NRG1 fusion detected by RNA-based NGS, who responsed to Afatinib well after 1 month of treatment, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed shrinkage of intracranial lesions. Meanwhile, we also compiled previously reported NSCLC patients with NRG1 rare gene fusion mutation, in order to provide effective references for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

NUT Carcinoma（NC） is a rare malignant tumor of unknown origin, which is highly aggressive. It is characterized by chromosome rearrangement accompanied by NUTM1 gene. The pathological manifestations were sudden and focal squamous in poorly differentiated or undifferentiated carcinoma. NUTM1gene rearrangement can be used to diagnose NC. The prognosis of NUT cancer is poor. Clinically, there is no established treatment plan. treatment options mainly comprise surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. A 74-year-old patient with NC of the nasal cavity and sinuses was reported. Her clinical presentation was right nasal congestion with facial swelling. Sinus CT and MRI showed soft tissue density in the right nasal cavity and maxillary sinus with bone destruction. After admission, the patient underwent nasal endoscopic biopsy, and the postoperative pathological FISH staining showed BRD4/NUT fusion t（15, 19）. The tumor was significantly reduced after two courses of sequential chemoradiotherapy. Two months later, the patient underwent a partial maxillary resection due to the rapid regrowth of sinusoidal mass, invading the hard palate. The patient died 2 months after surgery due to multiple organ failure resulted from tumor metastasis, with a survival time of 11 months. The clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of this case were reported and related literature was reviewed.

In the most recent fifth edition of the World Health Organization Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System, astroblastoma has been defined by molecular rearrangements involving the MN1 gene, with common partners being BEND2 or CXXC5 . Accordingly, this tumor entity is now known as \"astroblastoma, MN1 -altered.\" However, gliomas with EWSR1::BEND2 fusions, devoid of MN1 fusion alterations, have recently been shown to exhibit astroblastoma-like histomorphologic features and reside in a distinct epigenetic subgroup based on DNA methylation studies similar to high-grade neuroepithelial tumor with MN1 alteration, which includes astroblastoma, MN1 altered tumors. This new epigenetically distinct subtype of astroblastoma containing EWSR1::BEND2 fusions lacks the required MN1 alteration and, thus, does not satisfy the current molecular classification of these lesions. Here, we describe a case of glioma with histologic features and DNA methylation profiling consistent with astroblastoma with a novel YAP1: : BEND2 fusion. This case and others further expand the molecular findings observable in astroblastoma-like tumors outside the constraints of MN1 alteration. Such cases of astroblastoma with EWSR1::BEND2 and YAP1::BEND2 fusions challenge the current molecular classification of astroblastoma based solely on an MN1 alteration.
