Breast mucoepidermoid carcinoma with a rare CRTC3-MAML2 fusion.

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is the most prevalent malignancy in the salivary gland and is sporadic in the breast. Here, we report a case of breast mucoepidermoid carcinoma with a rare CREB-regulated transcription coactivator 3-mastermind-like transcriptional coactivator 2 () fusion. A 23-year-old female was admitted to our hospital with a left breast palpable mass.

Association Between Preoperative Osteopenia and Prognosis in Breast Cancer Patients.

Background/aim: Osteopenia, the loss of bone mineral density (BMD), was recently reported as a prognostic factor in various cancers. However, the prognostic significance of preoperative osteopenia in breast cancer remains unclear. This study aimed to clarify the clinical significance of preoperative osteopenia in breast cancer.

Successful Prevention of Tumour Lysis Syndrome in HER2-positive Breast Cancer: Case Report and Literature Review.

Background/aim: Tumour lysis syndrome (TLS) is a life-threatening oncological emergency. TLS is rare and associated with a higher mortality rate in solid tumours than in haematological malignancies. Our case report and literature review aimed to identify the distinctive features and hazards of TLS in breast cancer.

Successful outcome of retrograde pancreatojejunostomy for chronic pancreatitis and infected pancreatic cysts: A case report.

Background: Chronic pancreatitis occasionally requires surgical treatment that can be performed with various techniques. Often, this type of surgery presents with postoperative complications. We report a case of a successful retrograde pancreatojejunostomy for chronic pancreatitis and infected pancreatic cysts.

The influence of the interval between percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage and cholecystectomy on perioperative outcomes: a retrospective study.

Background: Percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD) is recommended for acute cholecystitis patients at high risk for surgical treatment. However, there is no evidence about the best timing of surgery after PTGBD. Here, we retrospectively investigated the influence of the interval between PTGBD and surgery on perioperative outcomes and examined the optimal timing of surgery after PTGBD.

Intra-abdominal Desmoid-Type Fibromatosis Mimicking Diverticulitis With Abscess: A Case Report.

Background: Intra-abdominal desmoid-type fibromatosis (DF) rarely necessitates emergency surgery. However, the condition is difficult to diagnose preoperatively and can become life-threatening if left untreated.

Case Report: A 46-year-old man complained of fever and right lower quadrant pain.

Multiple liver metastases originating from synchronous double cancer of neuroendocrine tumor and rectal cancer: a case report.

Background: Neuroendocrine tumor (NET) is a relatively rare tumor and can develop in almost any organ, but primary mesenteric NETs are extremely rare. In addition, liver metastases from synchronous double cancer of neuroendocrine tumor graded as G1 and second primary malignancies (SPMs) have never been reported before. We herein report a case of multiple liver metastases from synchronous double cancer of NET (G1) at the ileal mesentery and rectal cancer.
