Abstract excerpt
Uterine leiomyosarcoma (ULMS) with osteoclast-like giant cells (OLGCs) has been reported as a rare phenomenon in ULMS, and its clinico-pathological features and tumorigenesis remain unclear. We recently reported high expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) in ULMS with OLGCs. As osteoblasts produce RANKL, in this study, we analyzed the expression of Runt-related transcription factor 2...
