Clear cell chondrosarcoma is a rare histological subtype of chondrosarcoma, usually with a relatively non-aggressive clinical course. However, infrequently they may relapse and metastasize. We describe a case of a male patient, 53 years old, with rib cage metastases of a clear cell chondrosarcoma 11 years after the first surgical intervention, and review the literature.

Abstract Follicular lymphoma is an indolent lymphoma characterized by the (14;18) translocation, which leads to aberrant expression of Bcl-2. Translocations involving 8q24 are most commonly associated with Burkitt lymphoma and result in c-Myc overexpression. We report a case of follicular lymphoma of predominant small cleaved-cell type (grade 1) associated with both a t(14;18)(q32;q21) and a t(8;22)(q24;q11). The 8q24 translocation predicted an aggressive clinical course, as the lymphoma transformed into acute lymphoblastic leukemia within a year of initial diagnosis. Routine cytogenetic analysis is recommended at initial diagnosis of follicular lymphoma to better identify abnormalities that may predict prognosis and influence therapy.

Primary rhabdomyosarcoma of the adult prostate is rare and associated with an aggressive clinical course. Given the limited number of cases reported about the prostate, little is known about the impact of molecular mutations on tumor biology and prognosis in adults. In this article, we present a case of primary embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the adult prostate with a complete molecular mutational profile of the tumor.

Sclerosing rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a rare subtype of RMS with unique prominent stromal hyalinization and a pseudovascular architecture. It overlaps morphologically with spindle cell RMS and poses both diagnostic and therapeutic challenges because of its rarity and aggressive clinical course. In this article, we report a case of sclerosing RMS arising from a prior craniotomy site, which demonstrated both sclerosing and spindle cell components. A literature review of RMS with sclerosing morphology identified 122 cases. Our review documents the following: sclerosing RMS occurs in both childhood and adult populations, has a predilection for the head and neck areas, and has a worse prognosis in adults. Sclerosing RMS harbors a high frequency of MYOD1 mutations, conferring a poor clinical outcome. Sclerosing RMS and spindle RMS likely represent a morphologic spectrum of one entity.

Pulmonary adenofibroma (PAF) is a rare neoplasm that may be related to solitary fibrous tumor (SFT). A subset of PAFs harbor the NAB2-STAT6 fusion that is typical of SFT, but a significant proportion do not. Their distinction is clinically important as SFTs can potentially have an aggressive clinical course, while there has been no report of a PAF behaving in a malignant fashion. We report a case of a 60-year-old male who developed a SFT and PAF in the same lung. The SFT harbored a NAB2-STAT6 fusion, while the PAF did not have any identifiable fusion. This case represents the first instance of a single patient with both of these tumors occurring simultaneously in the same lung.

Renal medullary carcinoma (RMC) is a rare, yet aggressive malignancy of the kidney that is found predominantly in young patients with African descent and sickle cell hemoglobinopathies and most specifically sickle cell trait. Due to its aggressive nature, most cases have metastasis or local invasion at the time of diagnosis. Prognosis is extremely poor with survival less than 1 year after diagnosis. Here we present a case of metastatic RMC in a 29-year-old African female. Despite chemotherapy with cisplatin, gemcitabine, and paclitaxel, and initial shrinkage of the tumor, the patient died 5 months after diagnosis.
