Divergent Myoid, Neuroendocrine, and Perineural Differentiation in a Nasal Tumor of a Patient With Carney Complex
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A 39-year-old woman with Carney complex presented with a stroke of undetermined etiology. Computed tomography showed bilateral thalamic infarctions and also an unsuspected multicompartmental cystic neoplasm that had eroded the anterior clivus and extended forward into the nasopharynx. Histologically, the mass appeared benign and was composed of spindle cells and multiple foci of striated muscle. Immunohistochemically, the spindle cells were strongly reactive for S-100 protein and to a lesser extent for CD57, collagen IV, neuron-specific enolase, smooth muscle actin, epithelial membrane antigen, and glut-1. The striated muscle cells were positive for desmin and myogenin. The MIB-1 labeling index was 0.5%. Ultrastructural examination was necessary to reveal the full extent of divergent differentiation. Ultrastructurally, the spindle cells showed divergent differentiation along several cell lines, including smooth muscle, neuroendocrine, hybrid smooth muscle-neuroendocrine, perineural-like cells, and striated muscle. The occurrence of this unique lesion in a patient with the Carney complex raises the possibility that it may be a rare component of the syndrome.

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.
