Endometriosis is a progressive, estrogen-dependent, chronic inflammatory disease that affects approximately 6-10% of reproductive age women. Patients usually presents with symptoms, such as non-menstrual pelvic and abdominal pain, ovulatory pain, dyspareunia, dysmenorrhea, dyschezia, and/or changes to bowel or bladder function, which can be exacerbated during ovulation or menses. Endometriosis is a leading cause of unexplained infertility, accounting for up to 50-80% of cases.

We present a case of low-grade serous carcinoma with transformation to carcinosarcoma on recurrence in the lymph node. Identical BRAF V600E and telomerase reverse transcriptase promoter mutations were identified in both the original and recurrent tumor.

- Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common side effect that can affect treatment dosages and reduce patients' quality of life, specifically in conditions like mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome.
- In a clinical trial of brentuximab vedotin (BV), 69% of patients experienced peripheral neuropathy, with half of these cases being classified as clinically significant, indicating serious symptoms.
- A significant correlation was found between two neuropathy assessment tools, and each increment of 100 mg of BV increased the likelihood of developing clinically significant neuropathy by 23%, highlighting the need for better monitoring in patients receiving this treatment.
Background: Primary cutaneous marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (PCMZL) has rarely been reported in patients younger than 20 years.
