    Abstract Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide and it may present initially with extrahepatic spread in 5%-15% cases. It most commonly metastasizes to lungs, lymph nodes and adrenal glands. Skeletal metastases from HCC are uncommon and carry a very poor prognosis.
    Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all fine needle aspiration (FNA) specimens of metastatic HCC at our institution from January 1994 to March 2021 using the SNOMED search computer option. Relevant clinical information was obtained from the review of patient's electronic medical records.
    Results: There were 36 FNAs of metastatic HCC over a period of 27 years. Six patients (16.7%) were found to have skeletal metastases. All six patients were males with a median age of 59 years (54-71 years) and their lesions were osteolytic. The most common site of metastases was vertebra (3/50%). Most patients (67%) had bone metastases as an initial presentation, without prior history of HCC. The mean survival after the diagnosis of skeletal metastases was only 8 months.
    Conclusion: Detection of extrahepatic HCC to bone is important to avoid any unwanted surgical intervention. In our patient population, the most common site of skeletal metastases from HCC was vertebra, therefore in FNAs of vertebral lytic masses, metastatic HCC should be considered. On FNA, extrahepatic metastases of HCC can mimic other poorly differentiated tumors. They behave in an aggressive fashion, resulting in a grim prognosis. Cytological substrates can be used for future molecular testing, if needed.

    Abstract Introduction: Scalp masses are often the initial presentation of a widely disseminated malignancy. Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is an optimal method for obtaining an accurate tissue diagnosis, in these patients with initial presentation and those with a known malignancy.
    Materials and methods: We reviewed all FNAs of skin and soft tissue lesions from the scalp at our institution over a period of 31 years (1990-2021). Relevant clinical information was obtained from the review of computerized patient record. The histologic type, presentation, previous diagnoses, and survival after the diagnosis were correlated.
    Results: Thirty patients with scalp masses were identified. All the patients were males with a median age of 61 years (27-81 years). The scalp masses ranged from 0.4 to 6 cm in size. Ten cases (33%) were benign, but the majority of cases (n = 20, 67%) were malignant. Of the malignant lesions sampled, 1 case was a primary squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC), and the remaining 19 cases were metastatic tumors. Of these, 13 cases (68.4%) had a previously diagnosed malignancy. Most of the 19 metastatic lesions were adenocarcinomas or poorly differentiated carcinomas (n = 12, 63.2%), followed by melanoma (n = 4), SCC (n = 1), alveolar soft part sarcoma (n = 1) and large cell lymphoma (n = 1). The most common site of primary was the gastrointestinal tract (6/19, 31.5%) and lung (6/19, 31.5%). The average survival after the diagnosis of these scalp metastases was around 6.3 months, signifying a poor prognosis.
    Conclusion: In our patient population, most scalp masses were metastatic tumors. Metastasis to the scalp signals advanced disease and is associated with a very poor prognosis. FNA is an easy, safe, rapid, cost effective and precise modality for diagnosing these masses. It can also yield material for molecular testing for newer directed therapies, if needed.

    Abstract Secretory carcinoma (SC), also known as mammary analogue secretory carcinoma (MASC), is a rare salivary gland neoplasm with distinctive morphology that harbors a diagnostic ETV6 gene rearrangement. MASC was first described as a type of salivary gland neoplasm in 2010 and resembles breast secretory carcinoma. It is often mistaken for other neoplasms. It usually acts as an indolent tumor but can occasionally behave in an aggressive manner. We present a rare case of a patient with an aggressive SC/MASC of maxillary gingivobuccal sulcus with microcystic, solid and papillary patterns that showed ETV6 gene rearrangement by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Next-generation sequencing revealed t(12;15)(p13;q25) ETV6-NTRK3 translocation. Because SC/MASCs harbor the ETV6-NTRK3 translocation, molecular studies and immunostains are crucial to confirm the diagnosis and direct therapy.

    Abstract In this article I suggest placing structural vulnerability within a complex web of capitalist relations and tease out some of the forces and processes that now produce at an unprecedented rate disposable people who have been displaced and dislocated from their means of survival by a rapacious capitalism. I explore some of the multiple sites of the production and commodification of these "nobodies" to illuminate the intricate relationship between neoliberal economic policies and practices, state-sponsored violence, and international migration. These phenomena point us toward an understanding of the historical dimensions and the power dynamics of profiteering off the poor through the production of their vulnerabilities and the commodification of their very being.
