Dr. Jiang completed a surgical pathology and gastrointestinal pathology fellowships at Emory University School of Medicine. Dr. Jiang’s clinical interest is in gastrointestinal pathology, including both neoplastic diseases and medical/ infectious processes and pancreatobiliary and liver pathology, including neoplasms and medical liver diseases. His research interests are to identify tumor markers during cancer initiation and progression in gastrointestinal, hepatic and pancreatobiliary neoplasms, so as to aid in the diagnoses and prognostication of these diseases.

Ewing sarcoma, characterized by an 11:22 translocation, commonly occurs in bone and soft tissue sites. We present a patient with a history of both chest wall desmoid tumor and a subsequent adenosquamous pancreatic cancer treated with distal pancreatectomy, adjuvant chemotherapy, and radiation. Two years later the patient developed lymphadenopathy, which was biopsied and sent for the tissue of origin testing. Results revealed a sarcoma with 90% certainty, primitive neuroectodermal tumor subtype. The original pancreatic tumor was sent for next-generation sequencing, which revealed an EWSR1/FLI1 fusion as the sole genetic mutation suggestive of an underlying Ewing sarcoma. Additionally, the same fusion gene was detected on the supraclavicular lymph node biopsy.... view moreĀ»
