Clonal analysis of palmar fibromatosis: a study whether palmar fibromatosis is a real tumor

TLDR
It is suggested that palmar fibromatosis is a reactive proliferation rather than a clonal neoplasm, suggesting polyclonality of these lesions.
Abstract
Background Palmar fibromatosis that arises in the palmar soft tissue is characterized by infiltrative growth with a tendency toward local recurrence but does not metastasize. This study investigated the clonality of this process in twelve female patients, each with a single lesion, by examining the pattern of X-chromosome inactivation.

Detection of beta-catenin mutations in paraffin-embedded sporadic desmoid-type fibromatosis by mutation-specific restriction enzyme digestion (MSRED): An ancillary diagnostic tool

TL;DR: Mutation-specific restriction enzyme digestion, a simple and efficient means of detecting the common β-catenin mutations in desmoid-type fibromatosis, complements light microscopy in reaching a diagnosis.

Systemic Erdheim-Chester disease.

TL;DR: In confirming clonality, the observations lend additional evidence to the view that Erdheim–Chester disease represents a neoplastic process, and the histiocytes to express CD163, thereby further supporting a monocyte/macrophage basis.

Apport de l'échographie dans la maladie de Dupuytren

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the palmar fascia at the distal palmar crease, especially at the level of the third and fourth rays with progressive disabling finger contracture, to diagnose Dupuytren's contracture.

The clonal evolution of tumor cell populations

TL;DR: Each patient's cancer may require individual specific therapy, and even this may be thwarted by emergence of a genetically variant subline resistant to the treatment, which should be directed toward understanding and controlling the evolutionary process in tumors before it reaches the late stage usually seen in clinical cancer.

Pathology and genetics of tumors of soft tissue and bone

C Fletcher
TL;DR: This list includes tumours of undefined neoplastic nature, which are of uncertain differentiation Bone Tumours, Ewing sarcoma/Primitive neuroedtodermal tumour, Myogenic, lipogenic, neural and epithelial tumours, and others.

Gene Action in the X -chromosome of the Mouse ( Mus musculus L.)

TL;DR: Ohno and Hauschka1 showed that in female mice one chromosome of mammary carcinoma cells and of normal diploid cells of the ovary, mammary gland and liver was heteropyKnotic and suggested that the so-called sex chromatin was composed of one heteropyknotic X-chromosome.

World Health Organization Classification of Tumours. Pathology and Genetics of Tumours of Soft Tissue and Bone

TL;DR: The fifth volume in the new WHO series on histological and genetic typing of human tumours is "Pathology and Genetics of Tumours of Soft Tissue and Bone" as discussed by the authors.
Journal Article

Methylation of HpaII and HhaI sites near the polymorphic CAG repeat in the human androgen-receptor gene correlates with X chromosome inactivation.

TL;DR: The human androgen-receptor gene (HUMARA) contains a highly polymorphic trinucleotide repeat in the first exon that correlates with X inactivation, and the development of a PCR assay that distinguishes between the maternal and paternal alleles and identifies their methylation status is developed.
