Malignant Neoplasm of Perivascular Epithelioid Cells of the Liver
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Neoplasms of perivascular epithelioid cells (PEComas) have in common the coexpression of muscle and melanocytic immunohistochemical markers. Although this group includes entities with distinct clinical features, such as angiomyolipoma, clear cell sugar tumor of the lung, and lymphangioleiomyomatosis, similar tumors have been documented in an increasing diversity of locations. The term PEComa is now generally used in reference to these lesions that are not angiomyolipomas, clear cell sugar tumors, or lymphangioleiomyomatoses. While most reported PEComas have behaved in a benign fashion, malignant PEComas have occasionally been documented. We present a case of hepatic PEComa with benign histologic features, which nonetheless presented with metastases to multiple sites nearly 9 years later. This case represents the second documented malignant PEComa of the liver, as well as the longest follow-up of a surviving patient with a malignant PEComa, emphasizing both the need for criteria that more accurately predict the behavior of PEComas and the necessity of long-term follow-up of patients with PEComas.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
