Genetic abnormalities and oncogenesis.

Abstract

Since the development of carcinoma probably depends on the paralyzed mitotic maturation promoting system present only within the cancer cell's cytoplasm, it must be established within the cytoplasm, not within the nucleus. Hence, genetic abnormalities in the nucleus should not be regarded as responsible for oncogenesis, even though they may always be identified specifically in a certain carcinoma alone and generally be regarded as responsible for the oncogenesis.

Intrasellar malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST).

Intracranial malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) and intrasellar schwannomas are rare tumors. We describe a case of an intrasellar schwannoma with progression to a MPNST, a finding that, although very rare, extends the differential diagnosis of intrasellar lesions.
