Primary schwannoma of the thyroid gland: analysis of case characteristics and review of the literature.

Background: To improve the characteristics of primary thyroid schwannomas (PTS) and to provide reference basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Methods: PubMed was searched for case reports of PTS up to December 2022 using the search terms "Thyroid nerve sheath tumor" or "Thyroid schwannoma" or "Thyroid Neurilemmoma", respectively. 34 cases were screened.

The evaluation of tumor microenvironment infiltration and the identification of angiogenesis-related subgroups in skin cutaneous melanoma.

Background: There are limited studies on the association between angiogenesis-related genes (ARGs) and the predictive risk of melanoma, even though angiogenic factors, which are essential for tumor growth and metastasis, might be secreted by angiogenesis-related protein in skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM). To forecast patient outcomes, this study attempts to develop a predictive risk signature linked to angiogenesis in cutaneous melanoma.

Methods: In 650 patients with SKCM, the expression and mutation of ARGs were examined, and this information was related to the clinical prognosis.
