Abstract

Kaposiform lymphangiomatosis (KLA) is a rare and aggressive generalized lymphatic anomaly (GLA), with distinctive clinical, radiology, morphologic, and genetic features. It does not have a current standard treatment and presents poor overall prognosis. Somatic mutations in the RAS pathway were reported as the likely driver for the majority of patients. We report a case of a 17-year-old male adolescent who was referred to the emergency department due to a severe anemia. Laboratory workup confirmed the anemia and revealed coagulation factor consumption and fibrinolysis. Chest-abdomen-pelvis computed tomography revealed an extensive cervical, mediastinal, abdominal and retroperitoneal “hematoma.” During admission, progressive pancytopenia, and disseminated intravascular coagulation were observed, and the hypothesis of a tumor/neoplastic etiology was considered. A thoracoscopy revealed a moderate hemorrhagic pleural effusion and a mediastinal mass resembling a “hemolymphangiomatosis” malformation, which was biopsied. Histology displayed a lymphatic-venous malformation. The patient was presented at the multidisciplinary Vascular Anomalies Center and, due to the complex vascular anomaly diagnosis, oral sirolimus monotherapy was initiated. Four years later, the patient remains clinically stable, with stability of the lesion’s dimensions and characteristics. A p.Q61R variant in the NRAS gene [NM_002524.4: c.182A>G, p.(Gln61Arg)], with 5% allelic fraction and 1993x coverage was detected. In conjunction with clinical and pathological findings, it allowed KLA final diagnosis. This case reinforces the importance of a high index of clinical suspicion and highlights the need of referring these cases to referral to Vascular Anomalies Centers.

Abstract

Objectives Paediatric cancer is a leading cause of death for children. Children in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) were four times more likely to die than children in high-income countries (HICs). This study aimed to test the hypothesis that the COVID-19 pandemic had affected the delivery of healthcare services worldwide, and exacerbated the disparity in paediatric cancer outcomes between LMICs and HICs.Design A multicentre, international, collaborative cohort study.Setting 91 hospitals and cancer centres in 39 countries providing cancer treatment to paediatric patients between March and December 2020.Participants Patients were included if they were under the age of 18 years, and newly diagnosed with or undergoing active cancer treatment for Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, Wilms’ tumour, sarcoma, retinoblastoma, gliomas, medulloblastomas or neuroblastomas, in keeping with the WHO Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer.Main outcome measure All-cause mortality at 30 days and 90 days.Results 1660 patients were recruited. 219 children had changes to their treatment due to the pandemic. Patients in LMICs were primarily affected (n=182/219, 83.1%). Relative to patients with paediatric cancer in HICs, patients with paediatric cancer in LMICs had 12.1 (95% CI 2.93 to 50.3) and 7.9 (95% CI 3.2 to 19.7) times the odds of death at 30 days and 90 days, respectively, after presentation during the COVID-19 pandemic (p

Abstract

Congenital vascular anomalies are a heterogeneous group of lesions, subdivided into vascular tumors and vascular malformations. Incorrect nomenclature and misdiagnoses are frequent. Arteriovenous malformations (AVM) are potentially the more aggressive type of vascular malformation. They are formed by a complex network of malformed arteries and veins without intervening capillary bed resulting in arteriovenous shunting. The clinical presentation ranges from tissue swelling to serious clinical issues, as right heart failure. We report the case of a female newborn affected by an AVM stage IV of Schobinger, evidenced in the immediate neonatal period, despite the lack of prenatal diagnosis. She underwent two endovascular embolizations procedures with Onyx 18®, with effective devascularization of the AVM. Although advantageous, embolization is a challenging procedure and the risks are real. Our patient experienced a life-threatening hemorrhage a few days after the first embolization. We considered that complete devascularization of the AVM was achieved after two embolization procedures. At 14 months old, she underwent surgery for resection of residual AVM, with fast postoperative recovery. Currently, she is 17 months old, and no AVM recidive occur until now. We report a clinical case that evidences the difficulties of approaching an AVM Schobinger stage IV in the neonatal period. We also present a review of the literature on vascular anomalies with special attention to AVM.

Abstract

Infantile hepatic hemangiomas (IHH) account for 12% of all childhood hepatic tumors. Most IHH are diagnosed within the first 6 months of life and involute spontaneously; however, some require medical treatment. The present report describes a case of multifocal IHH associated with subcutaneous and lingual hemangiomas, complicated by consumptive hypothyroidism and successfully managed with oral propranolol and thyroid replacement therapy, without documented adverse effects. Consumptive hypothyroidism is a rare complication of IHH, but suggestive of multifocal/diffuse subtypes. The authors intend to reinforce the importance of early referral to a Vascular Anomalies Center and treatment with propranolol in selected patients.

Abstract

Endobronchial mucoepidermoid tumors are rare neoplasms. Due to nonspecific symptoms, diagnosis can be challenging, but early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for prognosis. We present the case of a boy, with chronic respiratory insufficiency due to bronchiolitis obliterans, that presented worsening exertional dyspnea at 12 years. Spirometry showed unexpected deterioration of respiratory function and a computed tomography scan revealed an obstructive polypoid mass in the intermediate bronchus. Given the severe basal ventilatory compromise and risk associated with surgical treatment, rigid bronchoscopy, and laser photocoagulation were performed, with clinical and functional improvement. The histological examination revealed a low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma. The option for a minimally invasive procedure requires careful follow-up due to the risk of tumor recurrence.

Abstract

ObjectivesPaediatric cancer is a leading cause of death for children. Children in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) were four times more likely to die than children in high-income countries (HICs). This study aimed to test the hypothesis that the COVID-19 pandemic had affected the delivery of healthcare services worldwide, and exacerbated the disparity in paediatric cancer outcomes between LMICs and HICs.DesignA multicentre, international, collaborative cohort study.Setting91 hospitals and cancer centres in 39 countries providing cancer treatment to paediatric patients between March and December 2020.ParticipantsPatients were included if they were under the age of 18 years, and newly diagnosed with or undergoing active cancer treatment for Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, Wilms’ tumour, sarcoma, retinoblastoma, gliomas, medulloblastomas or neuroblastomas, in keeping with the WHO Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer.Main outcome measureAll-cause mortality at 30 days and 90 days.Results1660 patients were recruited. 219 children had changes to their treatment due to the pandemic. Patients in LMICs were primarily affected (n=182/219, 83.1%). Relative to patients with paediatric cancer in HICs, patients with paediatric cancer in LMICs had 12.1 (95% CI 2.93 to 50.3) and 7.9 (95% CI 3.2 to 19.7) times the odds of death at 30 days and 90 days, respectively, after presentation during the COVID-19 pandemic (pConclusionsThe COVID-19 pandemic has affected paediatric oncology service provision. It has disproportionately affected patients in LMICs, highlighting and compounding existing disparities in healthcare systems globally that need addressing urgently. However, many patients with paediatric cancer continued to receive their normal standard of care. This speaks to the adaptability and resilience of healthcare systems and healthcare workers globally.

Abstract

IntroductionChildhood cancer is a leading cause of death. It is unclear whether the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted childhood cancer mortality. In this study, we aimed to establish all-cause mortality rates for childhood cancers during the COVID-19 pandemic and determine the factors associated with mortality.MethodsProspective cohort study in 109 institutions in 41 countries. Inclusion criteria: children ResultsAll-cause mortality was 3.4% (n=71/2084) at 30-day follow-up, 5.7% (n=113/1969) at 90-day follow-up and 13.0% (n=206/1581) at 12-month follow-up. The median time from diagnosis to multidisciplinary team (MDT) plan was longest in low-income countries (7 days, IQR 3–11). Multivariable analysis revealed several factors associated with 12-month mortality, including low-income (OR 6.99 (95% CI 2.49 to 19.68); pConclusionsChildren with cancer are more likely to die within 30 days if infected with SARS-CoV-2. However, timely treatment reduced odds of death. This report provides crucial information to balance the benefits of providing anticancer therapy against the risks of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children with cancer.

Abstract

Objectives Multinodular goiter (MNG) and well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma (WDTC) are emerging phenotypes of DICER1 syndrome. Methods Histologic and molecular findings of botryoid-type embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (bERMS) and thyroid nodules from a 12-year-old DICER1 mutation carrier (p.Arg1060Ilefs*7) were investigated, providing interesting clues for understanding thyroid carcinogenesis. Results The patient had bERMS at age 7 years. The thyroid was enlarged and multinodular (61 g). Histologically, some nodules were classified as adenomatous and others as tumors with "intermediate" nuclei. One displayed vascular invasion and was classified as WDTC not otherwise specified (NOS). Somatic DICER1 mutations were identified in bERMS, two tumors with "intermediate" nuclei and WDTC. No somatic DICER1 mutations were found in adenomatous nodules. No molecular alterations were detected in BRAF600, NRAS61, HRAS12/61, KRAS12/61, TERT promoter, RET/PTC1, RET/PTC3, and PAX8/PPARγ. Conclusions The findings obtained from this single case support the assumption that DICER1 syndrome-related WDTC NOS may develop on a background of MNG, via a stepwise process, involving DICER1 somatic mutations and additional molecular events, distinct from the classic pathways of papillary/follicular carcinoma.

Abstract

Infantile Hemangiomas (IH) make up the most common type of benign vascular tumors affecting children. They can grow for several months until beginning to involute. In present-day clinical practice there's no objective monitoring protocol. For more objective measures, an automatic evaluation system (CAD system) is needed to aid clinicians in assessing the effectiveness of a given patient's response to a treatment. One of the stages of these systems is the lesion segmentation. This work addresses the automatic segmentation of lesions in IH. Acknowledging that the methods in the literature for IH lesion segmentation lag behind the state-of-the-art in the image segmentation community, we conduct a comparison of various methodologies for the segmentation of the IH, including both shallow and deep methodologies. Acknowledging the lack of data in the field for a robust learning of deep models, we also evaluate transfer learning techniques to benefit from knowledge extracted in other skin lesions. The best results were obtained with the shortest path method and a multiscale convolutional neural network that merges two pipelines working at different scales. Although promising, the results put in evidence the need for better databases, collected under suitable acquisition protocols.

Abstract

Background Red cell distribution width (RDW), a classical parameter used in the differential diagnosis of anemia, has recently been recognized as a marker of chronic inflammation and high levels of oxidative stress (OS). Fanconi anemia (FA) is a genetic disorder associated to redox imbalance and dysfunctional response to OS. Clinically, it is characterized by progressive bone marrow failure, which remains the primary cause of morbidity and mortality. Macrocytosis and increased fetal hemoglobin, two indicators of bone marrow stress erythropoiesis, are generally the first hematological manifestations to appear in FA. However, the significance of RDW and its possible relation to stress erythropoiesis have never been explored in FA. In the present study we analyzed routine complete blood counts from 34 FA patients and evaluated RDW, correlating with the hematological parameters most consistently associated with the FA phenotype. Results We showed, for the first time, that RDW is significantly increased in FA. We also showed that increased RDW is correlated with thrombocytopenia, neutropenia and, most importantly, highly correlated with anemia. Analyzing sequential hemograms from 3 FA patients with different clinical outcomes, during 10 years follow-up, we confirmed a consistent association between increased RDW and decreased hemoglobin, which supports the postulated importance of RDW in the evaluation of hematological disease progression. Conclusions This study shows, for the first time, that RDW is significantly increased in FA, and this increment is correlated with neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and highly correlated with anemia. According to the present results, it is suggested that increased RDW can be a novel marker of stress erythropoiesis in FA.

Abstract

Fibromatous soft tissue lesions, namely desmoid-type fibromatosis and Gardner fibroma, may occur sporadically or as a result of inherited predisposition (as part of familial adenomatous polyposis, FAP). Whereas desmoid-type fibromatosis often present β-catenin overexpression (by activating CTNNB1 somatic variants or APC biallelic inactivation), the pathogenetic mechanisms in Gardner fibroma are unknown. We characterized in detail Gardner fibromas diagnosed in two infants to evaluate their role as sentinel lesions of previously unrecognized FAP. In the first infant we found a 5q deletion including APC in the tumor and the novel APC variant c.4687dup in constitutional DNA. In the second infant we found the c.5826_5829del and c.1678A>T APC variants in constitutional and tumor DNA, respectively. None of the constitutional APC variants occurred de novo and both tumors showed nuclear staining for β-catenin and no CTNNB1 variants. We present the first comprehensive characterization of the pathogenetic mechanisms of Gardner fibroma, which may be a sentinel lesion of previously unrecognized FAP families.

Male, Neurofibromatosis 1, Adolescent, Humans
Abstract

Neurofibromatosis type 1 is an autosomal dominant disease affecting one in 3000 to one in 4000 people, with a great variability of clinical expression. Individuals affected with neurofibromatosis type 1 have an increased risk of developing both benign and malignant tumors, supporting the classification of tumor predisposition syndrome. The most common tumor is the neurofibroma, a heterogeneous benign nerve sheath tumor, which represents the primary clinical characteristic of neurofibromatosis. The case reported refers to a adolescent boy with neurofibromatosis type 1 diagnosed at 20 months, who presented progressive growth of dorsal and lumbar intraspinal tumors since six years of age and diagnosis of malignant nerve sheath tumors at 17 years of age. In addition to describing a rare presentation of neurofibromatosis, because of location and early onset of complications, the authors discuss the difficulties of the therapeutic approach of this case.

Abstract

The annual cycle of migratory birds requires significant phenotypic remodeling. We sought to induce the migratory phenotype in Gray Catbirds by exposing them to a short-day light cycle. While adipose storage was stimulated, exceeding that typically seen in wild birds, other aspects of the migratory phenotype were unchanged. Of particular interest, the rate of lipid export from excised adipose tissue was nearly halved. This is in contrast to wild migratory birds in which lipid export rates are increased. These data suggest that exposure to an altered light cycle only activated the lipid storage program while inhibiting the lipid transport program. The factors governing lipid mobilization and transport remain to be elucidated., (© 2023. The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.)
