Incidental Appendiceal Mucinous Neoplasm Found During Appendectomy in a 15-Year-Old Patient: A Case Report.

Appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (AMNs) are rare gastrointestinal tumors, often underdiagnosed due to their variable presentation. Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (LAMNs) are particularly significant because of their association with pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP), a condition that increases the risk of abdominal recurrence. This report presents the case of a 15-year-old female with no prior medical history who developed nonspecific abdominal symptoms.

Pigmented basal cell carcinoma of the anus: a rare entity with diagnostic challenges.

Anal cancer is uncommon, comprising 2.2% of gastrointestinal cancers. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common; while perianal basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is rare, representing only 0.

Risk-Benefit Comparison Between Endoloop and Endostapler Devices for the Closure of Appendiceal Stumps in Laparoscopic Appendectomy.

The closure of the appendiceal stump is the most crucial step during appendectomy since its inadequate management can cause post-surgical complications.

Epithelial-Cadherin Expression Is Associated With Better Recurrence-Free and Overall Survival in Invasive Lobular Breast Cancer in Mexican Women.

Background: There are different clinicopathological characteristics that are associated with the prognosis in patients with breast cancer. To date, the prognostic valor of for epithelial cadherin (E cadherin) expression in invasive lobular breast cancer remains unknown.

Methods: A retrospective single-center study that included 207 patients with primary invasive lobular breast cancer was conducted.
