Cardiac metastases from bladder cancer are extremely rare and typically associated with a poor prognosis. We here report a case of a 74-year-old woman who had been diagnosed with multiple bladder cancer and later developed pelvic recurrence and multiple bone metastases. Second-line pembrolizumab treatment achieved complete remission.

Cytokeratin-positive interstitial reticulum cell (CIRC) tumor is an extremely rare malignant neoplasm and a subtype of fibroblastic reticular cell tumor, classified within the dendritic cell tumor group. We describe a case of an epicardial CIRC tumor that was resected and subsequently recurred in the left pulmonary hilum. This recurrence was treated with immunotherapy followed by radiotherapy.

Background: Anastomotic leakage (AL) is a major complication in colorectal surgery, particularly following rectal cancer surgery, necessitating effective prevention strategies. The increasing frequency of colorectal resections and anastomoses during cytoreductive surgery (CRS) for peritoneal carcinomatosis further complicates this issue owing to the diverse patient populations with varied tumor distributions and surgical complexities. This study aims to assess and compare AL incidence and associated risk factors across conventional colorectal cancer surgery (CRC), gastrointestinal CRS (GI-CRS), and ovarian CRS (OC-CRS), with a secondary focus on evaluating the role of protective ostomies.

P53-abnormal endometrial carcinomas are high-grade and aggressive tumors which should be treated with chemo-/radiotherapy. In low-grade endometrioid carcinoma (LGEC), abnormal expression of p53 is an exceptional finding and is typically accompanied by patchy p16 positivity and diffuse hormone receptor expression. Herein, we report a case of LGEC exhibiting both p53 and p16 overexpression, highlighting the diagnostic pitfalls related to such phenotype.

Cardiac myxomas, the most common primary cardiac tumors, are believed to originate from multipotent mesenchymal cells. Approximately 75% of myxomas occur within the left atrium, increasing the risk of systemic thromboembolic events. While typically benign, atrial myxomas can rarely metastasize to the brain, with fewer than 60 cases reported.
