Unusual sort of breast carcinoma metastases to the liver, combined with pseudolobular transformation, was found in an autopsy of 68-year-old female after complete oncological treatment. Nodes of parenchyma in abundant connective tissue nearly consisted of tumour cells. Terminology and pathogenesis were discussed.

Stiff person syndrome (SPS) is a neurologic disorder, some cases of which are associated with malignant disease. Here, we report a case of thymoma-associated SPS that was successfully treated with surgical resection. A 57-year-old man with progressive muscle stiffness and weakness was diagnosed with thymoma-related SPS.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of pedicled supraclavicular flaps in hypopharyngectomy reconstruction, with a focus on preserving laryngeal function.
Methods: From August 2019 to June 2022, 14 patients with primary hypopharyngeal carcinoma who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and underwent the repair of hypopharyngeal defects using pedicled supraclavicular flaps were included retrospectively. Relevant clinical evaluation indicators include patient characteristics, defect sizes, flap sizes, flap harvesting time, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications, recurrence, and survival outcomes.
Lack of dominant-negative activity for tumor-related ZNRF3 missense mutations at endogenous levels.

ZNRF3, a negative regulator of β-catenin signaling, removes Wnt receptors from the membrane. Currently, it is unknown which tumor-associated variants can be considered driver mutations and through which mechanisms they contribute to cancer. Here we show that all truncating mutations analyzed at endogenous levels exhibit loss-of-function, with longer variants retaining partial activity.

Article Synopsis
- Conversions from robot-assisted partial nephrectomy to more invasive surgeries happen in about 1-5% of cases, and this study looks at what could predict these conversions.
- The research analyzed 2,549 patients operated on by 25 surgeons, finding a 3.5% conversion rate linked to factors like older age, higher BMI, tumor size, and the surgeon’s experience.
- The study concludes that both patient characteristics and surgical expertise significantly impact the likelihood of conversion, suggesting that better training could enhance outcomes and allow for more kidney-sparing procedures.
Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy of multiple tumors: a multicenter analysis.
Minerva Urol Nephrol
December 2024
Hannover Medical School, Department of Urology and Urological Oncology, Hannover, Germany -
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to analyze factors affecting postoperative renal function (PRF) following robot-assisted partial nephrectomy for patients with multiple kidney tumors, using data from 132 surgeries and assessing both patient and surgical influences on outcomes.
- - Key findings included that most patients had two tumors, the average surgery lasted 175 minutes, and that the majority of surgeries met trifecta criteria, indicating successful outcomes in terms of cancer control, renal preservation, and complications.
- - Factors such as warm ischemia time, body mass index (BMI), and preoperative kidney function were found to impact kidney function loss post-surgery, with BMI and comorbidities being significant predictors of acute kidney injury during hospitalization.
