Paraovarian tumors of borderline malignancy (PTBM) are exceedingly rare, with only slightly over 60 cases reported worldwide. This report presents the case of a 22-year-old nulliparous patient who incidentally discovered a left paraovarian mass during a routine abdominal ultrasound. Subsequent MRI revealed a 2.

Müllerian duct anomalies (MDAs) concurrent with endometrial cancer are exceptionally rare, with only a few documented cases. Here, we present a case of endometrial cancer in both horns of a didelphys uterus in a 54-year-old woman with a history of renal cancer, who underwent left radical nephrectomy and left salpingo-oophorectomy. The patient sought medical evaluation due to postmenopausal vaginal bleeding.

The cochlear nucleus is composed of three sub-nuclei: the dorsal (DCN), anteroventral (AVCN) and posteroventral cochlear nucleus (PVCN). In addition to connections between these sub-nuclei, each nucleus receives frequency specific tonotopically organised input from the cochlea. Evidence suggests that connections from the DCN to the AVCN are inhibitory and organised tonotopically but the functional significance of this pathway has yet to be elucidated.

The cochlear nucleus is composed of three sub-nuclei: the dorsal (DCN), anteroventral (AVCN) and posteroventral cochlear nucleus (PVCN). Intrinsic connections from the DCN to the AVCN are inhibitory and organised tonotopically. In this investigation, this pathway and its possible role in frequency tuning was examined using in vivo extracellular recordings.
