Long-term survival in a patient with leptomeningeal metastases from non-small cell lung cancer treated with stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT), programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) inhibitor, and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF): a case report. (PubMed, Transl Cancer Res)
In this case, however, the patient achieved a remarkable PFS of over 4 years following a multimodal regimen combining SRT, PD-1 inhibition, and GM-CSF. This tri-modality strategy emerges as a promising therapeutic paradigm for NSCLC-associated LM.

Rapidly Growing ALK-Negative NTRK3-Positive Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumour of the Lung. (PubMed, Respirol Case Rep)
The patient remains disease-free at 9 months postoperatively. This case highlights the importance of comprehensive molecular testing in ALK-negative IMT and demonstrates that complete surgical resection can achieve excellent outcomes even in rapidly growing lesions.

Primary ALK-Negative Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma Mimicking Septic Arthritis in a Diabetic Patient: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenges. (PubMed, J Vis Exp)
A carefully staged treatment plan was employed, beginning with corticosteroids and etoposide, followed by liposomal mitoxantrone and the CD30-targeted antibody-drug conjugate brentuximab vedotin. The clinical course highlights the necessity of maintaining a high index of suspicion for lymphoma in refractory joint infections and demonstrates that individualized, stepwise therapy can achieve remission even in critically ill patients with aggressive ALCL. These findings provide valuable insights for improving the diagnosis and management of lymphoma cases that mimic infectious diseases.

Clinicopathological Features and Immunochemical Staining of Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor: A Retrospective Study of 48 Cases. (PubMed, Anal Cell Pathol (Amst))
For desmin and cytokeratin, the results differed among cases and may not be used as determinant factors to diagnose such diseases. We hope that this investigation will be a cornerstone for further studies on the diagnosis of IMT in the absence of ALK rearrangements.

Anaplastic large cell lymphoma in the penis: a case report and review of literature. (PubMed, J Med Case Rep)
This case highlights the diagnostic challenge posed by rare penile lesions and, more importantly, the therapeutic dilemma of selecting an appropriate treatment for a disease that is localized yet multifocal. The successful outcome with systemic brentuximab vedotin plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone therapy, a deviation from standard guidelines for unifocal primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma, underscores the need for individualized treatment strategies and further research to establish risk-adapted guidelines for this rare clinical entity.

Anaplastic lymphoma kinase-negative inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the appendix and ileocecal region: a rare clinical entity. (PubMed, J Surg Case Rep)
Surgical resection remains the mainstay of treatment. This case highlights the importance of including IMT in the differential diagnosis of atypical intra-abdominal masses and supports the role of advanced molecular techniques in improving diagnostic accuracy and management.

ALK-Negative Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma With Rare Scalp Involvement: A Case Report and Literature Review. (PubMed, J Investig Med High Impact Case Rep)
Histopathological analysis confirmed lymphoma with atypical large cells, and immunohistochemistry showed that both ALK and CD30 were negative, making the diagnosis atypical. This case illustrates the rarity of scalp involvement in ALK-negative ALCL and underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, integrating clinical, imaging, and histological findings for accurate diagnosis and management.

Long-term survival comparison of first-line pembrolizumab versus pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer: A multicenter propensity-matched cohort study. (PubMed, Lung Cancer)
These findings suggest that P-combo showed a durable survival advantage over monotherapy and acceptable TRAEs in patients with PD-L1-positive NSCLC, identifying clinical subgroups most likely to benefit. Prospective randomized trials are warranted to validate these observations and guide optimal first-line treatment strategies.
