TL;DR: Despite Ki-67 LI being an independent prognosticator, simultaneous detection of Mcm2 is recommended as a prognostic adjunct of GISTs, given its better sensitivity and stepwise escalation with increasing risk levels.
Abstract: Background
Inactivation of p16INK4A promotes G1/S progression of cell cycle. Minichromosome maintenance protein-2 (Mcm2), a novel cell proliferation marker, is known to better correlate with clinical outcomes than Ki-67 in many carcinomas. Since gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) sometimes remains challenging in prognostication, we analyzed the utility of these three markers in GISTs.

TL;DR: To the authors’ knowledge this is the first myxoid SFT involving the male genito‐urinary system, arising from the capsule of the right seminal vesicle of a 65‐year‐old man with SFT containing abundant myxoids matrix.
Abstract: Although focal myxoid change is a well-recognized feature of solitary fibrous tumor (SFT), predominantly myxoid SFT are exceedingly rare. Reported herein is the case of a 65-year-old man with SFT containing abundant myxoid matrix, arising from the capsule of the right seminal vesicle. To the authors' knowledge this is the first myxoid SFT involving the male genito-urinary system. Recognition of the myxoid variant of SFT is crucial, given possible confusion with a variety of myxoid spindle cell neoplasms with different biological potential in the pelvic cavity.
