Primary Squamous Cell Biliary Carcinoma With Liver Metastasis Is Rare but Malicious
We report a case of a 50-year-old woman with no prior medical history initially, who presented with postprandial epigastric and right upper quadrant pain that continued to worsen and was associated with early satiety, nausea, and weight loss of 25 pounds over 2 months, which prompted further evaluation by her primary care physician. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination a month later revealed a large heterogeneous area measuring 8.5 × 2.4 × 7.4 cm in the inferior right hepatic lobe with heterogeneous enhancement and involvement of the gallbladder, concerning for cholangiocarcinoma. Given radiographic findings, she...

Giant sacrococcygeal teratoma in an infant: a case report with a literature review
CONCLUSION: SCT has rarely been reported as a giant mass. Radiologic examinations in the early stages of pregnancy may be essential to the early diagnosis of the condition.PMID:37915688 | PMC:PMC10617840 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001274 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Prognostic factors for pure ovarian immature teratoma and the role of adjuvant chemotherapy in stage I diseases
CONCLUSION: Positive postoperative TM and FIGO stage II-IV were the prognostic factors for POIT. Active surveillance in stage I POIT of any grade may be practical for those with negative postoperative TM.PMID:37909181 | DOI:10.1080/07853890.2023.2273984 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Neoplasms in Struma Ovarii: A Review
AbstractStruma ovarii is a well-known ovarian teratoma made up of benign thyroid tissue. These lesions demonstrate variable, normal architecture and normal thyroid immunohistochemical staining with positivity for TTF1, PAX8, and thyroglobulin. Though most are benign, some of these lesions can also present with a malignant component. Within this article, we review the most common diagnostic malignancies including papillary thyroid carcinoma, strumal carcinoid, highly differentiated follicular thyroid carcinoma, and other thyroid carcinomas. We additionally review the use of TTF1 staining to assist in differentiating these l...

Carcinosarcoma of the ovary: a case report and literature review
ConclusionThe diagnosis of carcinosarcoma relies on histopathological examination and differentiation of carcinosarcoma from immature teratoma. The current therapeutic regimen for carcinosarcoma is still based on tumor cytoreduction and platinum-containing chemotherapy; research on targeted therapy is still in progress.

Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma of the Central Nervous System with N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor Antibody Positivity - A Case Report
CONCLUSION: This report emphasizes the importance of anti-NMDAR encephalitis as a paraneoplastic syndrome in previously undiagnosed PCNSL. Therefore, it is crucial to be aware of anti-NMDAR encephalitis as a paraneoplastic neurological syndrome that can present with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. It is necessary to continually observe the evolution of the disease and perform further diagnostic tests for early identification.PMID:37848241 (Source: Acta Neurologica Taiwanica)
