Article Synopsis
- The study aims to assess a new molecular breast imaging (MBI) device for Tc-sestamibi-guided stereotactic biopsy as an additional tool for diagnosing breast lesions.
- A total of 38 women underwent the procedure, which involved a five-step process for accurate localization and sampling of breast lesions, yielding successful results in all cases.
- Half of the lesions analyzed were malignant, and the method proved technically feasible, highlighting its potential as an effective addition to breast lesion diagnostics.
Background: Recurrent non-medullary thyroid carcinoma (NMTC) is a rare disease. We initially characterized 27 recurrent NMTC: 13 papillary thyroid cancers (PTC), 10 oncocytic follicular carcinomas (FTC-OV), and 4 non-oncocytic follicular carcinomas (FTC). A validation cohort composed of benign and malignant (both recurrent and non-recurrent) thyroid tumours was subsequently analysed (n = 20).

Case Description: In a 53-year-old woman with abdominal pain and fluctuating temperature, ovarian carcinoma was strongly suspected.
Background: Normally, the inside of the left atrial (LA) body and pulmonary veins (PVs) is lined by vessel wall tissue covered by myocardium. In total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC), no connection of the PVs with the LA body exists. These veins have an increased incidence of PV stenosis.
