Abstract
The antiviral DNA cytosine deaminase APOBEC3B has been implicated as a source of mutation in many cancers. However, despite years of work, a causal relationship has yet to be established in vivo. Here, we report a murine model that expresses tumor-like levels of human APOBEC3B. Animals expressing full-body APOBEC3B appear to develop normally. However, adult males manifest infertility, and older animals of both sexes show accelerated rates of carcinogenesis, visual and molecular tumor heterogeneity, and metastasis. Both primary and metastatic tumors exhibit increased frequencies of C-to-T mutations in TC dinucleotide motifs consistent with the established biochemical activity of APOBEC3B. Enrichment for APOBEC3B-attributable single base substitution mutations also associates with elevated levels of insertion-deletion mutations and structural variations. APOBEC3B catalytic activity is required for all of these phenotypes. Together, these studies provide a cause-and-effect demonstration that human APOBEC3B is capable of driving both tumor initiation and evolution in vivo.

Abstract
The antiviral DNA cytosine deaminase APOBEC3B has been implicated as a source of mutation in many different cancers. Despite over 10 years of work, a causal relationship has yet to be established between APOBEC3B and any stage of carcinogenesis. Here we report a murine model that expresses tumor-like levels of human APOBEC3B after Cre-mediated recombination. Animals appear to develop normally with full-body expression of APOBEC3B. However, adult males manifest infertility and older animals of both sexes show accelerated rates of tumorigenesis (mostly lymphomas or hepatocellular carcinomas). Interestingly, primary tumors also show overt heterogeneity, and a subset spreads to secondary sites. Both primary and metastatic tumors exhibit increased frequencies of C-to-T mutations in TC dinucleotide motifs consistent with the established biochemical activity of APOBEC3B. Elevated levels of structural variation and insertion-deletion mutations also accumulate in these tumors. Together, these studies provide the first cause-and-effect demonstration that human APOBEC3B is an oncoprotein capable of causing a wide range of genetic changes and driving tumor formation in vivo .

Abstract
Approximately 10% to 20% of all cases of eosinophilic granuloma occur in the jaws. A palpable mass with or without pain is the most frequent presenting clinical feature. Less common clinical signs include gingivitis, loose teeth, and oral ulceration with poor healing. We report a case of monostotic mandibular eosinophilic granuloma in a 38-year-old woman that initially manifested mandibular body fracture, an unusual and poorly documented clinical sign for this disease. The clinical and radiographic features, differential diagnosis, and treatment plan of the case are presented.
