The paper presents a rare case of meningioma associated with peritumoral abscess formed in a 63-year-old female undergone right nephrectomy for abscessed pyelonephritis and drainage of gluteal abscesses 3 months before admission. Brain computed tomography revealed a left frontotemporal heterogeneous mass lesion with margin contrast accumulation. At surgery, convexity meningioma with peritumoral abscess was totally removed. Hematogenous spread of Staphylococcus aureus is most likely to be responsible for peritumoral abscess. The paper also gives a review of literature and a brief account of the case.

Autoimmune pancreatitis: Biopsy interpretation and differential diagnosis.
Semin Diagn Pathol
March 2024
Institute of Liver Studies, King's College Hospital, London SE5 9RS, UK. Electronic address:
Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is classified into type 1 (IgG4-related) and type 2 (IgG4-unrelated) and the interpretation of pancreatic biopsy findings plays a crucial role in their diagnosis. Needle biopsy of type 1 AIP in the acute or subacute phase shows a diffuse lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate, storiform fibrosis, obliterative phlebitis, and the infiltration of many IgG4-positive plasma cells. In a later phase, changes become less inflammatory and more fibrotic, making interpretations more challenging.

Introduction And Importance: As revealed as a colocutaneous fistula with an abscess in the abdominal wall, colon cancer is rare. It should be suspected in case of a painful abdominal wall mass in elderly patients. This case presentation of an infected sigmoid adenocarcinoma aims to highlight this uncommon presentation presenting some therapeutic issues.

Intracranial abscess coexistent with a high grade glioma, without prior surgical intervention, is an unusual occurrence. This paper presents two such cases with abscess surrounding the glioblastoma in an immunocompromised individual and abscess within the glioblastoma in an immunocompetent patient. Adjuvant therapy was tapered as per each patient's clinical response.

Cystic glioblastomas are aggressive primary brain tumors that may both destroy and displace the surrounding brain tissue as they grow. The mechanisms underlying these tumors' destructive effect could include exposure of brain tissue to tumor-derived cytokines, but quantitative cytokine data are lacking. Here, we provide quantitative data on leukocyte markers and cytokines in the cyst fluid from 21 cystic glioblastomas, which we compare to values in 13 brain abscess pus samples.

Objective: To compare the safety of conventional transarterial chemoembolization (cTACE) vs drug-eluting bead TACE (DEB-TACE) in very early- and early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods: Data of patients with early- and very early-stage HCC treated with cTACE or DEB-TACE were evaluated retrospectively in this study. A total of 40 patients were included, 20 treated with cTACE and 20 with DEB-TACE.
