The esophagus and stomach can be primary sites for Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). The pathognomonic feature of HL is the Reed-Sternberg cell. Because these cells can be rare in HL tumours, biopsies obtained via endoscopy are usually inadequate for establishing a definitive diagnosis. A case of a gastroesophageal junction primary HL is presented that was diagnosed on endoscopic biopsy material with the assistance of the immunohistochemical stains PAX5 and MUM1 which verified the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells. The patient was effectively treated for HL and avoided traditional laparotomy or thoracotomy procedures to obtain the diagnosis. This advanced immunohistochemical approach should be the standard in the diagnosis of primary gastrointestinal HL. An endoscopy-based approach should obviate more invasive, open biopsy procedures for establishing HL diagnosis.

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), which typically occurs in patients between the ages of 10 and 18, can be caused by a variety of reasons, and no definitive cause has been found. Early diagnosis of AIS or timely recognition of progression is crucial for the prevention of spinal deformity and the reduction of the risk of surgery or postponement. However, it remains a significant challenge.

Background: The liver is the most common site of digestive system tumor metastasis, but not all liver metastases can be traced back to the primary lesions. Although it is unusual, syphilis can impact the liver, manifesting as syphilitic hepatitis with inflammatory nodules, which might be misdiagnosed as metastasis.
