Authors describe a case of choriocarcinoma with an atypical clinical course in 28-year old woman nine months after a normal pregnancy and labour. Diagnosis of the disease was very hard because endometrial biopsy did not show any suspected cells and two performed pregnancy tests were not positive. Diagnosis was confirmed after a hysterectomy. Authors conclude that every unclear vaginal bleeding during woman's reproductive years should be considered with a beta-HCG level measurement.

Background And Objectives: Antibodies to proteolipid protein-1 (PLP1-IgG), a major central myelin protein also expressed in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) as the isoform DM20, have been previously identified mostly in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), with unclear clinical implications. However, most studies relied on nonconformational immunoassays and included few patients with non-MS CNS autoimmune demyelinating disorders (ADDs). We aimed to investigate conformational PLP1-IgG in the whole ADD spectrum.

Epstein-Barr virus (+) mucocutaneous ulcer (EBVMCU) is an uncommon benign lymphoproliferative lesion that develops in immunocompromised patients. We present a special case of EBVMCU located in the peri-implant mucosa and we review the oral cases published to date. An 88-year-old man with no medical history of interest was attended in the dental clinic due to an ulcerated tumor located in the peri-implant mucosa.

Objective: We attempted to evaluate the immediate high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion-cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2/3 or worse (HSIL-CIN2+/3+, hereafter referred to as CIN2+/3+) risk of specific human papillomavirus (HPV) genotype and form the precise risk-based triage strategy for atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) women.
Methods: The clinical data of ASC-US women who underwent HPV genotyping testing and colposcopy were retrospectively reviewed. The distribution and CIN2+/3+ risks of specific HPV genotype were assessed by three approaches.

Heightened clinical vigilance for multiple myeloma is essential in patients presenting with atypical chronic pain progression. Symptoms may overlap with degenerative musculoskeletal conditions, frequently leading to misdiagnosis. This underscores the necessity of a thorough evaluation when symptoms are refractory to conventional therapies, in order to facilitate timely diagnosis and effective management of malignancy.

Papillary fibroelastomas (PFEs) followed by cardiac myxomas (CM) are the 2 most common primary benign cardiac tumors. Although typically asymptomatic, they can manifest with nonspecific symptoms such as dyspnea and dizziness or more acute manifestations such as embolic events. We describe an unusual location of a PFE typically seen with a CM.
