AI Article Synopsis
- Two girls with pancreatic tumors showed symptoms like abdominal pain but had no previous injuries or abnormal tumor markers.
- Imaging revealed that their tumors had both solid and cystic parts.
- Remarkably, the tumors vanished on their own without treatment, and there has been no sign of recurrence over the past 4 to 5 years, suggesting that such pancreatic tumors can sometimes resolve naturally.
Article Abstract
Two girls with pancreatic tumors are reported. They were presented with abdominal pain, no history of abdominal injury and no tumor marker abnormalities. Imaging studies demonstrated that the tumors in two patients had both solid and cystic components. The tumors gradually regressed and finally disappeared without any treatment. There has been no evidence of recurrence in 5- and 4-year observation periods, respectively. Pancreatic tumor with solid and cystic components may rarely be self-limited.

The value of non-punctate echogenic foci in the ultrasonic diagnosis of thyroid nodules.
Endocrine
January 2025
Department of General Surgery, Tianjin Medical University General Hospital, Tianjin, China.
Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic value of different subtypes of non-punctate echogenic foci in thyroid malignancy.
Methods: Retrospective research of 342 thyroid nodules with calcification was performed. The echogenic foci were divided into punctate echogenic foci (type I) and non-punctate echogenic foci (type II), and type II were further divided into four subtypes: macrocalcification (type IIa), continuous peripheral calcification (type IIb), discontinuous peripheral calcification (type IIc) and isolated calcification (type IId).
Indolent Angiomatoid Fibrous Histiocytoma Mimicking a Benign Cystic Tumor.
Diagnostics (Basel)
January 2025
Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Medicine, University of Yamanashi, Chuo 409-3898, Yamanashi, Japan.
Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (AFH) is a rare intermediate tumor that is often difficult to diagnose radiologically and pathologically. Herein, we report a case of AFH in the knee that was initially misdiagnosed as a cystic lesion. The tumor was first identified eight years earlier during the patient's initial visit, when plain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed, leading to a diagnosis of a cystic lesion.

Division of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA.
Background: Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) plays an important role in mediating the type-2-inflammatory response. This study examined how TSLP and interleukin (IL)-4 levels in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) correlated with clinical and postoperative outcomes.
Methods: Solid-phase sandwich ELISA was used to analyze TSLP and IL-4 levels in mucus (n = 47), plasma (n = 17), polyp (n = 30), inferior (n = 25), and middle (n = 26) turbinate tissue collected during functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) in CRSwNP patients (n = 76) and controls (n = 11).
Retroperitoneal Teratoma in a Newborn: A Case Report and Diagnostic Insights.
Cureus
December 2024
Department of Pediatrics, Division of Neonatology, Blythedale Children's Hospital, Valhalla, USA.
Retroperitoneal teratomas are rare neoplasms in neonates, presenting with nonspecific symptoms and variable clinical features, making diagnosis challenging. Radiological investigations, particularly fetal ultrasound and contrast-enhanced computed tomography, play a critical role in their detection. Differential diagnoses include neuroblastoma, adrenal hemorrhage, and congenital cystic lesions, which share overlapping clinical and imaging features.

Department of Surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA.
Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological features and long-term outcomes of cystic and solid pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs).
Summary Background Data: PanNETs uncommonly present as cystic lesions. Whether cystic PanNETs represent a distinct clinical entity compared to solid PanNETs is controversial.
