Aim: The risk of presenting synchronous or metachronous neoplasm, either adenoma or carcinoma, increases after an initial colonic lesion develops. It is known as tumor multicentricity and constitutes the rationale for surveillance programs. This study was designed to identify the clinical, pathologic, and molecular features related to previous or synchronous colorectal cancer (CRC) in patients with advanced adenomas (AA) or serrated polyps (SP).

- Cutaneous plasmacytomas are lumps on the skin made of plasma cells, which are a type of white blood cell.
- They can be primary (on their own) or secondary (linked to other diseases like multiple myeloma).
- Finding these skin lumps could mean a serious problem, as they are usually a sign that the patient may not live long after being diagnosed.
Purpose: To evaluate the positivity rate of temporal artery biopsies (TAB) performed in suspects of giant cell arteritis (GCA) and to study the epidemiological and clinical factors associated to the biopsy result.
Methods: A retrospective, multicenter, case-control study was performed, including three hundred and thirty-five patients who underwent TAB for a suspicion of GCA from 2001 to 2010. Clinical, epidemiological and pathology data were recovered from the patients' clinical records.
Background: Acute neurological deterioration and death in a patient harboring a colloid cyst of the third ventricle remains a poorly understood phenomenon. Sudden neurological derangement caused by spontaneous bleeding within a colloid cyst is a rare and potentially fatal event, usually requiring immediate diagnosis and emergency surgical treatment.
Case Description: A 47-year-old male presented with acute right-sided hemiparesis and speech impediment, followed by rapid deterioration of consciousness.
