We would like to present a 49-year-old female patient who was presented with a vulva lesion and palpable inguinal lymph nodes who were diagnosed with disseminated multiorgan involvement of high grade diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography computerized tomography imaging showed multiple cervical, axillary, and abdominal lymph nodes, pulmonary nodules as well as gross hypermetabolic vulvar lesion.

Endometriomas are associated with decreased ovarian reserve and impaired fertility outcomes, and traditional surgical approaches, such as cystectomy, often lead to further reductions in ovarian reserve. Ethanol sclerotherapy offers a potential alternative that preserves ovarian function while effectively managing endometriomas.

- * The study analyzed 150 patients who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy to compare the effectiveness and safety of three stump closure methods: endoloop, Hem-o-lok clips, and endostaplers.
- * Results showed that 96% of patients experienced no major complications, while the remaining 4% had issues, indicating that all three closure methods can be effective, though more research is needed on the best approach.
A low Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) value, lymphovascular invasion (LVI), and perineural invasion (PeNI) have been identified as indicators of poor prognosis for many malignancies. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between PNI and LVI/PeNI, their prognostic significance, and their effect on overall survival in gastric cancer patients who underwent curative gastrectomy. A cutoff value of 39.

- - The study focuses on the role of preoperative inflammatory markers—specifically Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), Platelet-Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR), and Mean Platelet Volume (MPV)—in predicting postoperative outcomes for patients with colorectal cancer peritoneal carcinomatosis (CRC PC).
- - Analyzing data from 196 patients, the results showed that a higher NLR (3.77) correlated with significantly lower median overall survival (22.1 months) compared to those with a lower NLR (58.3 months), indicating its predictive value.
- - The findings suggest that assessing these preoperative markers could enhance the selection process for surgical candidates and improve predictions regarding their
