Metachronous Colorectal Neoplasia in Young Adults With Advanced Neoplasia Undergoing Colonoscopy: A Comparison of Risk by Age <45 Years Versus 45 to 49 Years.

Background: The risk of metachronous advanced colorectal neoplasia (mACRN) in young adults with advanced lesions at baseline colonoscopy is not well defined.

Aims: To examine the risk for (mACRN) in adults <50 years old who had advanced neoplasia (AN) at baseline colonoscopy and determine factors associated with mACRN in these patients.

Method: Patients 18 to 49 years of age with ≥1 AN [tubular adenoma (TA) ≥10 mm or with villous features or high-grade dysplasia (HGD), sessile serrated lesion (SSL) ≥10 mm or with dysplasia, traditional serrated adenoma (TSA)] on baseline colonoscopy between 2011 and 2021 who had surveillance colonoscopy >6 months after their baseline examination were included.

Decidual Granulomata of Unclear Significance.

Granulomatous inflammation is a histologic finding with a relatively wide variety of causes. In general, considerations include infectious etiologies, autoimmune conditions, or foreign body reactions. Granulomatous inflammation is uncommonly seen in the placenta.

Extramedullary Hematopoiesis: An Unusual Finding in Angiolymphoid Hyperplasia With Eosinophilia.

Extramedullary hematopoiesis is the process of blood cell synthesis occurring outside the medulla of the bone marrow. During fetal development, extramedullary hematopoiesis is considered physiological; however, it is considered pathologic when occurring outside the neonatal period. Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) describes a lesion characterized histologically by plump endothelial cells associated with a mixed inflammatory infiltrate of lymphocytes, plasma cells, mast cells, and eosinophils.

Subcutaneous mass concerning for sarcoma: a peculiar presentation of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) can present in a number of different ways, including as a primary cutaneous lesion or at various other extranodal sites. However, it is rare for a DLBCL to present as a clinically subcutaneous mass without visible skin changes or nodal involvement. A 36-year-old man presented with a 4×4×1 cm subcutaneous mass to his shoulder with normal overlying skin which had been enlarging over 6 months.

A Hyperbaric Warm Perfusion System Preserves Tissue Composites Ex vivo and Delays the Onset of Acute Rejection.

Background:  Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) precipitates acute rejection of vascularized composite allografts (VCA). Hyperbaric preservation of tissues ex vivo, between harvest and revascularization, may reduce IRI and mitigate acute rejection of VCA.

Methods:  A porcine heterotopic musculocutaneous gracilis flap model was used.

Adenomyoma With Pseudoinvasive Growth Pattern and Serosal Penetration Mimicking Endometrial Carcinoma.

We present a novel case of a 48-yr-old female with a uterine adenomyoma with an unusual pseudoinvasive growth pattern displaying full-thickness penetration beyond the serosal surface in association with a dehisced Caesarian scar. Before hysterectomy, magnetic resonance imaging findings showed an infiltrative lesion suggestive of endometrial carcinoma. An endometrial biopsy was benign but definitive operative management was pursued given the concerning imaging.

Novel Neuroendocrine Tumor in Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1.

This case highlights the appropriate use of genetic testing and supports expanding the clinical diagnosis of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 to include neuroendocrine tumors of the extrahepatic bile duct.
