Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare benign proliferative disorder of the synovium. It rarely occurs in adolescents, particularly in immature patients with bilateral manifestation.
 
  We present a case of atypical and bilateral PVNS of wrist in a 14-year-old boy. Initially, the patient presented with left wrist pain and swelling without the history of trauma. Physical examination revealed an obvious lesion in the dorsal part of left wrist. Radiographs, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed multiple abnormal signal shadows and arthroedema in the left wrist. Arthroscopy operation was performed, and histologic examination suggested the diagnosis of PVNS. Only 10 months later, the patient presented with the similar symptoms and signs in the right wrist. But MIR and histologic examination were atypical. In this article, we also review and summarize 26 studies on 30 adolescent patients with PVNS.
 
  This study provides an example of atypical and bilateral PVNS in adolescents.

  The prevalence of primary hepatic mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas is extremely low. Here, we describe a case of this disease misdiagnosed as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and review relevant literature to prevent future misdiagnoses.
 
  a 58-year-old woman complained about abdominal pain for more than four months. About two months prior, she came to our hospital with elevated levels of HBV DNA and positive HBsAg and HBcAb. After two months of entecavir treatment, HBV DNA decreased to a normal level. She returned to the hospital with worsened abdominal pain for over a month. Magnetic resonance imaging and systemic positron emission tomography-computed tomography identified two nodes in the liver, and she was diagnosed with HCC. The patient then underwent a laparoscopic hepatectomy. Microscopic examination showed a diffuse infiltrate of small-to-medium-sized lymphocytes and lymphoepithelial lesions. Immunohistochemical staining showed that most of the lymphoid cells were strongly positive for CD20, CD79a, BCL2, IgM and weakly positive for IgD, while negative for CD3, CD10, BCL6, MUM1, CD43, CD5, cyclin D1, CD23, CD30, and PD1. The Ki-67 index of lymphoid cells was 5%. Further pathologic analysis confirmed the diagnosis of primary hepatic MALT lymphoma. The patient received antiviral treatment and recovered well with no sign of relapse for 17 months.
 
  Primary hepatic MALT lymphoma is an uncommon disease that is difficult to diagnose and has no widely accepted treatment. Surgical resection is a good choice for both diagnosis and local therapy, and strict follow-up of the patient is essential.

Most cases were reported in the literature, and most of them were middle-aged and elderly people. It was even more rare in adolescents with tumors occupying the entire thoracic cavity. Recently, one case of myxomatous liposarcoma was admitted and treated in our hospital. This paper reports this case and discusses the diagnostic method, pathological type and treatment of giant liposarcoma in the chest, in order to provide a reference for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of this rare tumor.The present work aimed to explore the prognostic values of lncRNA TC0101441 (TC0101441) in patients with gastric cancer (GC). The expression of TC0101441 in a total of 159 GC specimens and matched normal specimens was detected by quantitative RT-PCR. ROC assays were conducted to determine the diagnostic value of TC0101441 expression in GC patients. The association of TC0101441 expression with clinical characteristics of 159 patients was analyzed using chi-square test. Kaplan-Meier methods were employed to determine the prognostic value of TC0101441 expression in the survival rate of GC patients. Multivariate Cox regression assays were used to identify whether TC0101441 could be a prognostic biomarker for GC patients. We found that TC0101441 expression was significantly increased in GC specimens compared to that in the normal specimens (P less then 0.01). High TC0101441 expression was correlated with lymphatic metastasis (P = 0.027) and TNM stage (P = 0.015). TC0101441 could distinguish GC specimens from adjacent normal gastric specimens with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.8082. Survival data revealed that patients with high TC0101441 expression had worse overall survival (P = 0.0009) and disease-free survival (P less then 0.0001) rates than those with low TC0101441 expression. Multivariate assays showed that TC0101441 expression was an independent biomarker for GC patients. The present study suggested that TC0101441 expression was increased in GC and may be aprognostic and diagnostic biomarker for GC.Metaplastic breast carcinoma is a rare invasive breast cancer. Metaplastic breast carcinoma is mainly characterized by an epithelial or mesenchymal cell population mixed with adenocarcinoma. We collected 26 cases of metaplastic breast carcinoma in the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College from 2008 to 2014. Tumor size, tumor grade, vascular invasion, ER/PR status, histologic classification, and HER2/neu status were assessed for all cases and the literature was reviewed. Clinicopathologic characteristics of patients diagnosed with metaplastic breast carcinomas and its key points of differential diagnosis were discussed. All patients were female, with the median age of 50 years.  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/Decitabine.html  The mean tumor size was 3.2 cm. 4 subtypes of metaplastic breast carcinomas were documented. Fibromatosis-like metaplastic carcinomas are typically characterized by wavy, intertwined, gentle spindle cells. When the tumor components are almost squamous cell carcinoma components and the primary squamous cell carcinoma of other organs and tissues are excluded, we can diagnose breast squamous cell carcinoma.
