Epithelioid malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (EMPNST, malignant epithelioid schwannoma) is a rare variant of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor that has morphologic and immunophenotypic overlap with a variety of epithelioid neoplasms. Because of its rarity it may be potentially underrecognized. We describe a case arising in the subcutis of the thigh in a 25 year-old female, and discuss the pathologic features and differential diagnosis.
Automated planning as a satisfiability problem is a method developed in theearly nineties. It has some known disadvantages, such as its inefficient encod-ing of numbers. The field of Satisfiability Modulo Teories tries to connectalready established solvers for e.g. linear constraints into SAT-solvers in orderto make reasoning about numerical values more efficient. This thesis combines planning as satisfiability and SMT to perform efficientreasoning about actions that occupy realistic time in Temporal Action Logic,a formalism developed at Linkoping University for reasoning about action andchange.

Superficial CD34-positive fibroblastic tumor (SCPFT) is a recently described entity that, despite significant pleomorphism, carries a good prognosis. We briefly describe this tumor and its principal differential diagnoses. Recognition of SCPFTs, including the clinical context in which they arise, is important to avoid confusion with other pleomorphic soft tissue tumors, particularly neoplasms in the group of pleomorphic sarcomas, which are typically aggressive tumors that could lead to unnecessary overtreatment.
Myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma is a rare malignant soft tissue neoplasm that typically arises on the distal extremities of adults. It usually behaves in a low-grade manner and its characteristic histology is of a lobulated proliferation of moderately atypical spindled to epithelioid cells, vacuolated cells, and enlarged or bizarre cells with prominent nucleoli, dispersed within myxoid stroma containing a mixed inflammatory cell infiltrate. The etiology of myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma remains unknown with no definite causal factors identified. We describe a case of myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma arising in the foot of a 77-year-old female, which rapidly recurred locally after initial excision and which arose 10 years after renal transplantation. The neoplasm also showed intermingled areas of hemosiderotic fibrolipomatous tumor. The patient also had multifocal areas of squamous cell carcinoma in situ of the foot and hand, in keeping with the clinical context of immune deficiency. This is the second case of myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma reported to occur after transplantation, but additionally shows hybrid features of hemosiderotic fibrolipomatous tumor, highlights immunocompromise/immunosuppressive therapy as a possible etiologic factor in their development, and adds to the growing number of myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma that has demonstrated aggressive behavior.
