Molecular pathology of ADIPOCYTIC TUMORS Molecular pathology of ADIPOCYTIC TUMORS – based on WHO 2020 Soft tissue and bone tumors. LIPOMAS The pathogenesis of lipomas is related to reactivated expression of the HMGA2 protein, which plays a role in the development of the mesodermal lineage during embryogenesis ANGIOLIPOMA– The majority (80%) have been reported to have low-frequency PRKD2 mutations. CHONDROID LIPOMA– is characterized by a recurrent t(11;16) (q13;p13) chromosomal translocation.SPINDLE CELL/PLEOMORPHIC LIPOMA: is characterized 13q deletions /RB GENE.MYOLIPOMA: Cytogenetic alterations of the HMGA2 gene have been reported in a few cases LIPOSARCOMA Atypical lipomatous tumour/well differentiated liposarcoma: characterized by supernumerary ring and giant marker chromosomes,containing amplified sequence of MDM2DEDIFFERENTIATED liposarcoma– Amplified MDM2MYXOID LIPOSARCOMA– Translocations producing FUS-DDIT3 or rarely EWSR1-DDIT3 fusion transcripts are pathognomonicPLEOMORPHIC LIPOSARCOMA: Complex karyotypes. . The most frequent mutations involve TP53 and NF1. OTHER ADIPOCYTIC TUMORS HIBERNOMA: Cytogenetically, almost all hibernomas have breakpoints in chromosome arm 11q, with a distinctive clustering to 11q13.LIPOBLASTOMA: The most common numerical change is one or more extra copies of chromosome 8, with or without concurrent rearrangement of 8q11-q13 VIEW THE SHORT VIDEO FOR A QUICK SUMMARY View this post on Instagram A post shared by Pathology Mcqs (@pathology_mcqs) Share this:FacebookTelegramWhatsAppMoreLinkedInTwitterLike this:Like Loading...
Conditions associated with DICER- 1 syndrome DICER-1 SYNDROME IS A Rare Autosomal Dominant cancer syndrome Caused by inactivating germline mutations in genes encoding DICER-1. It is an RNase involved in the generation of mature miRNA. CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH DICER-1 SYNDROME. 1. PLEUROPULMONARY BLASTOMA: Type I tumors are cyst -like tumors in the lung. They are most common in children aged 2 years and younger and have a good chance of recovery. …Type II tumors are cyst-like with some solid parts. These tumors sometimes spread to the brain or other parts of the body.Type III tumors are solid tumors 2. OVARIAN SERTOLI- LEYDIG CELL TUMOR: Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor (SLCT) is a rare cancer of the ovaries. The cancer cells produce and release a male sex hormone called testosterone. The exact cause of this tumor is not known 3. CYSTIC NEPHROMA OF KIDNEY: Cystic nephroma is a rare kidney neoplasm belonging to the entity of cystic tumours. It is a slow-growing tumour, which develops insidiously, sometimes reaching a considerable size. The diagnosis is more often accidental (except for mass syndrome in children). It is a benign tumour that may be treated by partial sparing nephrectomy 4.MULTINODULAR GOITRE: Multinodular Goiter (MNG) is defined as the special condition of thyroid glands, where there are multiple lumps (nodules) formed. 5. PITUTARY TUMOR: Pituitary tumors are abnormal growths that develop in your pituitary gland. Some pituitary tumors result in too much of the hormones that regulate important functions of your body. Some pituitary tumors can cause your pituitary gland to produce lower levels of hormones. 6. OCULAR MEDULLOBLASTOMA: Medulloblastoma is the commonest childhood malignant central nervous system tumour. It occurs in the midline of the cerebellum 7. EMBRYONAL RHABDOMYOSARCMA: Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS) ERMS usually affects children in their first 5 years of life, but it can occur at older ages as well. ERMS tends to occur in the head and neck area, bladder, vagina, or in or around the prostate and testicles. 8.PINEALOBLASTOMA: Pineoblastoma is more aggressive than other types of pineal gland tumors. Its fast growth usually causes cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to build up in the brain. This condition is called hydrocephalus. While pineoblastoma may spread through the CSF in 10% to 20% of cases, most of the time the tumors do not spread to other parts of the body.

VITAL, SUPRAVITAL AND INTRAVITAL STAINING Vital, supravital and intravital staining are three different types of staining techniques. However, vital and supravital terms are often used interchangeably. Let’s look at some of the major differences in staining between the three and why these terms shouldn’t be used interchangeably. 1. VITAL STAINING 1.Contrary to the name, vital stains are taken up by dead cells and not by living cells. 2. Demonstration of nuclear staining using a vital stain signifies cells death, because living cells are impermeable to the stain. 3. Example: Tryptan blue and propiodine iodine VITAL STAINS ATE TOO BULKY OR TOO CHARGED THEY CANNOT ENTER LIVE CELLS- Hence only stain dead cells. Vital stains 2. SUPRAVITAL STAINS 1. Supravital staining is a method of staining used in microscopy to examine living cells that have been removed from an organism. 2. Those that enter and stain living cells are called supravital stains 3. Examples New Methylene Blue and Brilliant Cresyl Blue for reticulocyte staining. Reticulocyte stained SUPRAVITAL stain 3. INTRAVITAL STAIN 1. Intravital staining of living cells is done by injecting the dye into any part of the animal body (either intravenous, intraperitoneal or subcutaneous), producing specific coloration of certain cells, particularly those of the reticulo-endothelial system. 2. Common dyes used are lithium, carmine and India ink. There you go!! Hope the confusion is cleared. For multiple choice questions on staining Click here Check below for a quick summary.
