ABSTRACT
Primary hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the most common high-grade malignant tumors in the world. Its incidence ranks fifth among malignant tumors in China, and various therapeutic measures have poor curative effect. Pyruvate kinase type M2 is a key enzyme in the glycolytic pathway, and its abnormal expression in liver cancer is closely related to the proliferation, metastasis, diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, as well as drug and radiation resistance. Therefore, multi-pathway targeted regulation of pyruvate kinase type M2 use is expected to become a new direction for the treatment of primary liver cancer.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study genetic feature, clinical and histopathological characteristic of two Chinese kindreds with cherubism (CBM).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Two Chinese kindreds with CBM were investigated. The affected individuals of two families were analyzed with medical history, clinical manifestations, classified grading system, radiographic assessment, histopathological findings, and hereditary nature.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There were 2 individuals affected with CBM in family A and 3 patients involving three generations in family B. Two probands were diagnosed aggressive form cherubism and classified as grade IV. In histopathological findings, besides varying numbers of multinucleated giant cells in a stroma of fibroblasts and the eosinophilic cuffing surrounding some vessels, actively proliferating areas with clear mitoschisis and relative dormant areas with loose fibrous tissue and bone were also presented in microscopic fields of the lesion.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Cherubism is caused by autosomal dominant inheritance. The diagnosis should be based on the genetic, clinical, radiological, and pathological aspects of the disease.</p>
