To explore the clinicopathological features of a rare dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS) with meningothelial‐like whorls, we retrospectively analyzed 46 reported cases and 1 case that we encountered. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis of the MDM2 amplification status of our case was also performed. Our case involved a 73‐year‐old male patient who had a mass in the upper part of his left arm for 10 years and was treated by surgical ablation of the tumor because of the mass' recent rapid enlargement. Microscopically, the tumor tissues showed coexistence of well‐differentiated and dedifferentiated components, the latter of which included meningothelial‐like whorls and inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor‐like structures. The dedifferentiated components diffusely expressed vimentin, MDM2, CDK4, p16, and smooth muscle actin. They were also focally positive for desmin but negative for S‐100, CD117, CD34, ALK, EMA, SOX‐10, p53, and β‐catenin. FISH detection showed MDM2 amplification. In conclusion, subcutaneous DDLPS with meningothelial‐like whorls and inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor‐like features is rare. This case broadens the histopathological lineage of DDLPS, and confirms DDLPS with myogenic differentiation. The use of the combination of MDM2, CDK4, p16, and FISH to detect MDM2 amplification is a reliable basis for the diagnosis of DDLPS with meningothelial‐like whorls.
Aims: Our study aimed to assess the risk signals of
antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) caused by various antibiotics using
real-world data and provide references for safe clinical applications.
Methods: We analyzed data extracted from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting
System (FAERS) database, covering the period from the first quarter of
2004 to the third quarter of 2022. We computed the odds ratio (ROR) for
each antibiotic or antibiotic class to compare the signal difference.
Furthermore, we also examined the differences in the onset times and
outcomes of AAD caused by various antibiotics. Results: A total of 5,397
reports met the inclusion requirements. Almost all antibiotics, except
tobramycin and minocycline (ROR 0.98 and 0.42, respectively), showed a
significant correlation with AAD. The analysis of the correlation
between different classes of antibiotics and AAD revealed that
lincomycins (ROR 29.19), third-generation cephalosporins (ROR 15.96),
and first/second generation cephalosporins (ROR 15.29) ranked the top
three. The ROR values for antibiotics from the same class of antibiotics
also varied greatly, with the ROR values for third-generation
cephalosporins ranging from 9.97 to 58.59. There were also differences
in ROR values between β-lactamase inhibitors and their corresponding
β-lactamase drugs, such as amoxicillin-clavulanate (ROR = 13.31) and
amoxicillin (ROR = 6.50). 91.35% antibiotics have an onset time of less
than four weeks. Conclusions: There is a significant correlation between
almost all antibiotics and AAD, particularly lincomycins and β-lactam
antibiotics, as well as a different correlation within the same class.
These findings offer valuable evidence for selecting antibiotics
appropriately.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
