The role of insulin-like growth factors signaling in merlin-deficient human schwannomas. [PDF]
Loss of the tumor suppressor merlin causes development of the tumors of the nervous system, such as schwannomas, meningiomas, and ependymomas occurring spontaneously or as part of a hereditary disease Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2).

Dermatologic Features of Endocrine Tumor Syndromes—Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
ABSTRACT Endocrine tumor syndromes, including multiple endocrine neoplasia types 1, 2A, and 2B (MEN1, MEN2A, MEN2B), Carney complex (CNC), and PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome (PHTS), are hereditary conditions characterized by multisystem tumor development.

Global Proteome and Phospho-proteome Analysis of Merlin-deficient Meningioma and Schwannoma Identifies PDLIM2 as a Novel Therapeutic Target [PDF]
Loss or mutation of the tumour suppressor Merlin predisposes individuals to develop multiple nervous system tumours, including schwannomas and meningiomas, sporadically or as part of the autosomal dominant inherited condition Neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2 ...

Characterization of Oral Melanocytic Nevi in Sun‐Exposed and Sun‐Protected Regions
ABSTRACT Objective Oral melanocytic nevi (OMN) are histologically similar to skin nevi; however, they are much rarer and not always related to sun exposure. This study aimed to characterize the histopathological, immunohistochemical, and molecular features of OMN in sun‐exposed (vermilion lip) and sun‐protected (intraoral) regions.

Ancient schwannoma of thoracic spine in a schizophrenic patient with somatic delusion
Ancient schwannoma is a rare variant of schwannoma characterized by histopathologic degenerative changes, which are thought to be the result of long-term tumor growth and aging. However, ancient schwannoma in the spinal canal is particularly rare.

Characterizing the immune microenvironment of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor by PD-L1 expression and presence of CD8+ tumor infiltrating lymphocytes. [PDF]
BackgroundMalignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is an aggressive sarcoma with few treatment options. Tumor immune state has not been characterized in MPNST, and is important in determining response to immune checkpoint blockade.

ABSTRACT Background Endoscopic full‐thickness resection (EFTR) is an effective treatment method for gastric submucosal tumors (SMTs). We aimed to perform a technical analysis of EFTR in gastric SMT and compare it with the outcome parameters. Method Sixty‐one gastric SMTs from 60 patients were resected using EFTR. The indication criteria: size, 11–30 mm,

Loss of SOX10 function contributes to the phenotype of human Merlin-null schwannoma cells. [PDF]
Loss of the Merlin tumour suppressor causes abnormal de-differentiation and proliferation of Schwann cells and formation of schwannoma tumours in patients with neurofibromatosis type 2.

Abstract Introduction Linac‐based SRS provides a highly precise noninvasive treatment option for intracranial lesions. DCA and VMAT are commonly used Linac‐based techniques. There are no standardized guidelines for technique selection, particularly considering the geometric properties of the lesions.
