Primary malignant schwannoma is a rare neoplasm of nerve sheath origin. It is a cancer of the connective tissue surrounding nerves. Given its origin and behavior it is classifi ed as sarcoma. The estimated incidence of Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor (MPNST) in general population is 0.001% and in patients with Neurofi bromatosis 1 (NF-1) is 2-5%. It is an uncommon spindle cell sarcoma accounting for approximately 5% of all soft-tissue sarcoma. They are highly aggressive and occur in the second or third decade. This neoplasm usually affects the extremities. There is strong association between MPNSTs and neurofi bromatosis (NF-1) and previous irradiation. We present the case of a 61-year-old woman manifesting with recurrent sciatalgy near for the fourth and fi fth lumbar vertebral bodies. She underwent resection of a mass at the L4-5 level that was subsequently recognized as a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor.

Metastatic Atypical Fibroxanthoma: Case Report of an Uncommon Pathology in the Head and Neck by Luis Boccalatte in Experiments in Rhinology & Otolaryngology
Atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX) is an uncommon skin neoplasm developed mainly in the head and neck region in older senior patients. Prolonged sun exposure, actinic damaged, history of previous neoplasms and immunosuppressant are considered the most important risks factors. Subcutaneous extension of these tumors is related to a more aggressive biology.

Pediatric Meningiomas- A Case Report and Review of the Literature by Adrian Kelly*, Tshepang Tau and Tshilidzi Sidiki in Crimson Publishers: Annals of Medicine and Surgery
Background: Pediatric meningiomas are relatively rare accounting for only 3% of intracranial neoplasms. As such most of the literature on pediatric meningiomas exists in the form of isolated case reports or as a case series with small patient numbers. Despite this scarcity of literature several important features distinguish pediatric meningiomas from those that occur in adults. These include unique risk factors; a male predominance; larger tumor sizes at presentation; unusual sites of occurrence including intraventricular and parenchymal; higher World Health Organization histological grades; more aggressive clinical behavior and an increased tendency for recurrence. We present a 12-year-old male patient whom presented to our unit with a left fronto-parietal convexity meningioma of an alarming size.
Methods: A 12-year-old male patient presented to our unit with an eight-month history of a progressive headache complicated by a two-week history of vomiting. He also complained of progressive weakness of the right side of his body which had worsened to a point that he was no longer independently ambulant. General examination revealed craniomegaly with tortuous scalp veins. Neurological examination revealed a right upper motor neuron facial nerve palsy and a right hemiplegia of 2/5. Radiological investigation revealed an extremely large left fronto-parietal dural based space-occupying lesion which crossed the midline. Due to the adolescent’s progressive neurology he was taken to the operating room for emergency resection of the lesion. Gross total resection was achieved, and histopathological analysis confirmed the lesion to be a fibroblastic meningioma.
Result: Post-operatively the patient demonstrated a complete resolution of his hemiplegia and at three weeks post operatively he was already independently ambulant with power 4/5 on the previously hemiplegic side.
Conclusion: Despite the notorious features that characterize pediatric meningiomas, as well as an often-intimidating radiological appearance, adherence to standard Neurosurgical operating principles has the best chance of ensuring a successful outcome.

The 2016 World Health Organization classification of tumors of the central nervous system broadly employs genetic alterations for diagnostic criteria including isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) mutation or IDH2 mutation, and 1p/19q codeletion,[1] with the goal of creating more homogeneous disease categories with greater prognostic value.[2-5] Molecular diagnostics is becoming an increasingly important aspect of clinical oncologic neuropathology practice.
Cystic hygroma or cystic lymphangioma is a congenital malformation of the lymphatic system that manifests itself as a soft, benign, and painless mass. It is widely accepted that they arise from the remnants of embryonic lymphatic tissue which retains the potential for proliferation. They grow in the fashion of sprouting and are capable of transgressing anatomical boundary. They can occur almost at any anatomical site.
Neuroblastomas are rare extracranial tumors of the pediatric population arising from cells of the embryological sympathetic nervous system. These malignancies most commonly occur in the abdomen, but other sites include the chest, neck, and pelvis with a predisposition for lymphatic and hematogenous
spread. Metastasis to the bone is a poor prognostic indicator, requiring surgical excision and other extensive medical management.
Desmoplastic Non-Infantile Ganglioglioma; An Incidental Finding with Unusual ...CrimsonPublishersTNN
Desmoplastic non-infantile ganglioglioma (DNIG) is a rare tumor entity and only a small number of cases have been published until now in the literature. Although its infantile counterpart (desmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma [DIG]) has been already recognized and included together with desmoplastic infantile astrocytoma (DIA) in the WHO Classification of CNS tumors, DNIG has not been accepted as a distinct tumor entity. The reason for this is obviously the scarcity of the neoplasm and subsequently the absence of substantial information regarding its pathogenesis and its association to the infantile form.

i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS
