Introduction: Undifferentiated small round-cell sarcomas with BCL6 corepressor (BCOR) alterations, such as an internal tandem duplication (ITD) within exon 15, are typically described as a pediatric group of Ewing-like small round-cell sarcomas.
Case Presentation: In contrast to this notion, we report the case of a 71-year-old woman with a nasosinusal sarcoma featuring a BCOR ITD. To the best of our knowledge, this presence had not been previously documented in a sarcoma of the nasal and sinus cavities in an elderly patient.
Background: The use of thyroglobulin concentration in washout fluid of fine-needle aspiration (FNA-Tg) is a procedure advocated by international guidelines to diagnose metastatic LN in papillary thyroid cancer. With the increasing use of active follow-up or lobectomy alone for low-risk thyroid cancers, the determination of the diagnostic performance of FNA-Tg in the detection of metastatic PTC when the thyroid is in situ is paramount.
Materials And Methods: Prospective study with measurement of Tg in washout fluid obtained from intraoperative fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology in order to avoid contamination from thyroid tissue and rigorously isolated punctured nodes.
Article Synopsis
- The '3PAs' syndrome is a condition where patients have pituitary adenomas and sometimes pheochromocytomas, which are types of tumors, and this could be linked to certain gene mutations.
- Researchers studied 263 patients with pituitary adenomas to find out how common these gene mutations are and what type of adenomas they have.
- They found a few gene mutations in some patients and recommended testing for these mutations, especially if the person has a family history of tumors or specific signs in their adenomas.
Background: adrenal tumor-to-liver uptake value (Tmx:Lmx) on F-FDG PET/CT is an accurate and reproducible PET parameter in the distinction between benign and malignant adrenal masses. The potential impact of steroid hormone secretion on F-FDG uptake is still debatable. The aim of this study was to evaluate this relationship.
