Article Synopsis
- * A newborn, born at 40 weeks, initially appeared healthy but developed severe pulmonary hypertension and respiratory failure shortly after birth, ultimately leading to death within 12 days despite intensive treatment.
- * Diagnosis was confirmed through surgical lung biopsy and autopsy, which showed consistent histopathological signs; genetic testing revealed a mutation in the FOXF1 gene, also associated with other developmental malformations.
Extended distal pancreatectomy with thoracic wall resection after neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX: Is there a limit of resection for pancreatic cancer after downstaging?
Ann Hepatobiliary Pancreat Surg

Indications and outcomes of extended pancreatectomies have been recently appraised by the International Study Group for Pancreatic Surgery. However, no definitive conclusions have been drawn, particularly in the setting of neoadjuvant treatments. We present here a case of 53-year-old man diagnosed with a bulky adenocarcinoma of the tail of the pancreas and infiltrating the adjacent organs and the thoracic wall.

Our aim was to analyze the immunohistochemical expression of AMACR in the sequence-progression of colonic cancer. We studied 237 cases, including samples of normal mucosa of the colon, adenomas with different degrees of dysplasia, colonic carcinomas, lymph nodes and liver metastases of colonic carcinomas.

The aim of this study is to analyse SDHB expression in a series of Warthin's tumours, studying its relationship with oncocytic changes, constantly present in this form of tumour.
Material And Methods: In resection tumour specimens from a series of ten Warthin's tumours (all from the parotid gland), immunohistochemical expression of SDHB was analysed using a commercially-available monoclonal antibody.
