An algorithm for the pre-operative differentiation of benign ovarian tumours based on magnetic resonance imaging interpretation in a regional core hospital: A retrospective study
CONCLUSIONS: Among four types of OTs (OEC, OMCT, OEA and OCCA), MRI interpretation was able to differentiate between Be-OTs and Bo/Ma-OTs almost perfectly. Additionally, to mitigate the difficulty in differentiating SM-OTs, OT size may be useful in combination with MRI findings, although further accumulation and analysis of OT cases is needed.PMID:38058586 | PMC:PMC10696378 | DOI:10.1016/j.eurox.2023.100260 (Source: Reproductive Biology)

Long-Term Outcomes of Infantile Sacrococcygeal Teratoma: Results From a Multi-Institutional Retrospective Observational Study in Japan
Tumor recurrence, anorectal and urinary dysfunction, and lower limb dysfunction after surgery are observed in infantile sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT). In this paper, a multi-institutional retrospective observational study was conducted to clarify the long-term functional prognosis in Japan. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Surgery)

The Irish Experience with Sacrococcygeal Teratomas: Are Type IV Lesions More Common than We Think?
Conclusion In Altman's original 1974 study, type IV lesions were present in 10% of cases. As a result, this is the most frequently quoted figure. Type IV lesions were present in 28% of cases in our study. We propose that type IV lesions may be more common than the current literature suggests and consequently a higher index of suspicion of their presence should be entertained.

Cytodiagnostic Dilemma in a Lung Mass as the First Presentation of Testicular Mixed Germ Cell Tumor Metastasis
AbstractTesticular mixed germ cell tumors (TMGCTs) are rare malignant tumors comprising of two or more types of germ cell tumors. Their onset may be undetectable and the patient may first present with symptoms of metastasis. We hereby report a case of a young male who presented with respiratory discomfort and had no symptoms of primary testicular tumor. CT-guided FNAC lung revealed mainly necrotic, keratinous debris with a focus of chondromyxoid stroma. Differential diagnoses of components of teratoma, squamous cell carcinoma and inclusion cyst was considered. FNAC was reported out for the possible presence of teratoma com...

Preferring Lateral Video Endoscopic Inguinal Lymph Node Dissection Over Classic Video Endoscopic Inguinal Lymph Node Dissection in Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Penis: Lessons Learnt from Twenty-One Patients at a Single Center
CONCLUSION: The L-VEIL is safe and feasible, and there is a reduction (~30%) in complications; oncological outcomes are also not affected. It has better ergonomics, resulting in ease and comfort for surgeons when compared with classical VEIL.PMID:37987306 | DOI:10.5152/tud.2023.23097 (Source: Cell Research)

Bright ferritin for long-term MR imaging of human embryonic stem cells
CONCLUSIONS: The bright-ferritin platform provides the first demonstration of longitudinal cell tracking with signal recall, opening a window on the massive cell death that hESCs undergo in the weeks following transplantation before the surviving cell fraction proliferates to form teratomas.PMID:37964388 | DOI:10.1186/s13287-023-03565-4 (Source: Cell Research)

Cancers, Vol. 15, Pages 5412: Extracranial Germ Cell Tumors in Children: Ten Years of Experience in Three Children & rsquo;s Medical Centers in Shanghai
Conclusions: The clinical features of GCTs in Chinese pediatrics are similar to those reported in children in Europe and America. The age distribution of pathological types and primary sites in GCTs reflect the developmental origin of type I and type II GCTs transformed from mismigration primordial germ cells (PGCs). Optimizing the current platinum-based chemotherapy regimens and exploring the treatment strategies for MGCTs of the mediastinum are future research directions. (Source: Cancers)
