Histone H3K36I mutation in a metastatic histiocytic tumor of the skull and response to sarcoma chemotherapy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Recurrent somatic missense mutations in histone H3 genes have been identified in subsets of pediatric cancers. H3K36 histone mutations have recently been recognized as oncogenic drivers in rare subsets of malignant soft tissue sarcomas but have not been reported in histiocytic neoplasms. Currently, the histological and molecular spectrum, as well as the clinical behavior of H3K36-mutant soft tissue malignancies, is largely unknown. We describe a pediatric patient with a HIST1H3B K36I-mutant histiocytic tumor arising in the skull. After the failure of upfront therapy for histiocytosis and development of widely disseminated metastatic disease, the patient had an exceptional response to empiric chemotherapy and remains in complete disease remission for more than 5 years. Our report expands the histological spectrum of H3K36M/I-mutant soft tissue malignancies to histiocytic neoplasms and indicates that multiagent sarcoma-like chemotherapy can be highly effective even in the setting of widely disseminated metastatic disease.

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.
