Chondroblastoma is a benign bone neoplasm, which usually presents in the epiphysis of long bones, but can occur in unusual locations. This report describes the clinical, radiologic, and cytologic features on FNA of two chondroblastomas of the temporomandibular region that were only recognized by histopathologic study. This emphasizes the diagnostic pitfalls of this entity and expands the cytologic differential diagnosis of tumors of the parotid region.

The FDA approval on September 29, 2023, for "class III " blood tests to assess hereditary cancer risk make widely available tests that may be obtained through a Direct to Consumer (DTC) path. There is concern that germ-line predisposition tests may not be reimbursed by insurance adding financial burdens to individuals and families. It is generally agreed in the fields on oncology and genetics that germ-line testing for disease susceptibility including cancer is best performed under care of a healthcare provider with genetic counseling.

BACKGROUND Primary cardiac malignancies are extremely rare, with an incidence of 0.07% on autopsy series. Primary sarcomas represent up to 95% of malignant neoplasms, with myxofibrosarcomas accounting for only 10%.

Malignant Brenner tumors (MBTs) are rare epithelial tumors of the ovary, most likely arising from benign and borderline Brenner tumors. MBTs may be misdiagnosed as other primary carcinomas or nonepithelial tumors of the ovary as well as metastatic carcinomas. Accurate diagnosis usually requires clinical-radiologic correlation, extensive sampling, and immunohistochemical studies.

Transthoracic echocardiography plays a crucial role in clinical diagnosis and is increasingly being used around the world. Comprehensive echocardiographic examinations require accurate measurements and the operators to have excellent technical skills. Despite the availability of several published echocardiographic guidelines, the absence of recommended operational manuals in daily practice has resulted in significant variation in the content of echocardiography reports across different medical institutions.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are carriers of a diverse array of bioactive molecules, making them valuable clinical tools for liquid biopsy in disease diagnosis and prognosis evaluation. These molecules play critical roles in various physiological and pathological conditions, and effective separation of EVs is essential to achieve these objectives. Due to the high heterogeneity of EVs, particularly with regard to their cargo molecules, merely isolating the general EV population is inadequate for liquid biopsy and biological function studies.
