We report an unusual and undetected case of primary central nervous system lymphoma presenting as multiple lesions in the periventricular occipital lobe in an immunocompetent host, which had manifested as a stroke. The neoplastic diagnosis was made only after death following a thorough autopsy and histopathological examinations which enabled the diagnosis of a rare cancer (primary cerebral lymphoma) which remained undetected and undiagnosed during life.

Article Synopsis
- * CML is diagnosed through a specific genetic translocation, while most Ph-negative MPNs have unique mutations in genes like Janus kinase 2, calreticulin, or the thrombopoietin receptor, often displaying mutually exclusive mutations.
- * The text discusses a rare case of primary myelofibrosis with both a mutation and a translocation, highlighting the need to understand the implications of these genetic factors on diagnosis, treatment, and patient outcomes based on existing literature. *
Study Objective: To demonstrate a laparoscopic technique to remove a scar pregnancy.
Design: Stepwise demonstration of the surgical technique.
Setting: Santa Croce and Carle Hospital, Cuneo.
Chemotherapy could induce benign liver alterations presenting as diffuse or focal lesions mimicking metastases. Oxaliplatin-induced vascular liver injury is described in literature, but the association with FNH-like lesions has been reported in a limited number of cases. We herewith describe the case of a 67-year-old male, who had laparoscopic right-sided hemicolectomy, 8 years ago, because of colonic adenocarcinoma (pT3N0M0) and subsequent adjuvant chemotherapy (capecitabine + oxaliplatin), who referred to the ultrasound service of our Radiology Unit because of abdominal pain.

- The discovery of a partially mummified body with trauma signs necessitates a thorough examination by forensic pathologists, often involving multiple disciplines.
- The case involved an elderly man's body found in his home over seven years post-mortem, revealing significant injuries like a cranial fracture and acute subdural hematoma.
- Despite the detailed analysis that clarified the cause of death, it remained unclear whether the injuries were due to an accident or an assault.
