Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), one of the most common malignancies worldwide, is a highly aggressive and homogeneous entity occurring in esophageal squamous epithelium, and a reliable noninvasive test for early detection is needed. A recent study showed that serum autoantibodies against Ezrin could be detected in patients with pancreatic cancer. Here, we assessed whether autoantibodies against Ezrin could have diagnostic relevance for early ESCC.

- Ovarian yolk sac tumors (YSTs) are rare tumors, and a study analyzed CT imaging findings of 11 YSTs compared to 18 other ovarian tumors.
- The study found no significant differences in patient age, tumor size, shape, ascites, or metastasis between the two groups (P > 0.05).
- However, YSTs showed significant differences in features like mixed solid-cystic nature, intratumoral hemorrhage, marked enhancement, and dilated intratumoral vessels (P < 0.05), with intratumoral hemorrhage and marked enhancement identified as independent signs of YST.
Background: Yolk sac tumor (YST) is a rare tumor. Familiarity of its radiological characteristics may permit preoperative diagnosis and improve surgical management of patients. However, a detailed description of the imaging features of YST with pathological correlation in particular is scarce.

Methods: One hundred and thirty patients with 131 pathologically proven tumours (>6.5 cm) were retrospectively reviewed.
Background: Accurate description of the relationship between extremity soft tissue sarcoma and the adjacent major vessels is crucial for successful surgery. In addition to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or in patients who cannot undergo MRI, two-dimensional (2D) postcontrast computed tomography (CT) images and three-dimensional (3D) volume-rendered CT angiography may be valuable alternative imaging techniques for preoperative evaluation of extremity sarcomas.
Purpose: To preoperatively assess extremity sarcomas using multidetector CT (MDCT), with emphasis on postcontrast MDCT images and 3D volume-rendered MDCT angiography in evaluating the relationship between tumors and adjacent major vessels.
