AI Article Synopsis
- Primary malignant lymphoma in the ovaries is rare, with a unique case of bilateral Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) linked to internal jugular vein thrombosis (IJVT) as a paraneoplastic syndrome.
- The patient underwent surgical treatment for FIGO Stage Ib, Ann Arbor Stage 2E NHL and is now 36 months disease-free.
- This case highlights the importance of investigating paraneoplastic syndromes like IJVT for possible underlying cancers, especially in the female genital area.
Article Abstract
Primary malignant lymphoma involving the ovaries is extremely rare. We present a unique case of a primary Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) of both ovaries, preceded by an internal jugular vein trombosis (IJVT) as paraneoplastic syndrome. Currently, 36 months after surgical treatment of this FIGO Stage Ib, Ann Arbor Stage 2E NHL, the patient is clinically free of disease. Based on this case and a review of the literature it is concluded that paraneoplastic syndromes like spontaneous IJVT should prompt the clinician to make a thorough diagnostic work-up in search of an underlying malignancy, including the female genital tract.

Temporal CT Evaluation of the Relationships between Basic Anatomical Structures and the Round Window: Importance for the Cochlear Implant Surgery.
J Neurol Surg B Skull Base

Department of Radiology, Faculty of Medicine, Kırıkkale University, Kırıkkale, Türkiye.
In the present study, we investigated the round window (RW) and neighboring anatomical structures using temporal computed tomography (CT) which are important for cochlear implant (CI) electrodes. In this retrospective study, the temporal CT images of 112 adult patients (45 males and 67 females) were evaluated. We classified mastoid pneumatization, and measured RW diameter, RW-carotid canal (CC) distance, RW-facial nerve mastoid segment (FNMS) distance, RW-pyramidal eminence distance, RW-jugular bulb (JB) distance, and RW-internal acoustic canal (IAC) distance.

Department of Medicine, INHS Asvini, Mumbai, India.
Background: External jugular vein (EJV) is used to insert tunneled dialysis catheter (TDC) in patients with no AVF and exhausted right internal jugular veins (IJV). There is scarce data on TDC insertion in EJV by nephrologists with fluoroscopy guidance.
Materials And Methods: This was a prospective observational study that included hemodialysis patients with exhausted right IJV access who underwent EJV TDC insertion, and excluded occluded ipsilateral brachiocephalic vein or superior vena cava, EJV < 5 mm diameter, or patients with existing EJV TDC.

Introduction: Endolymphatic sac tumor (ELST) is a rare neoplasm that exhibits aggressive growth primarily in the endolymphatic capsule and can potentially affect nearby neurovascular structures. The diagnosis of ELST poses challenges due to its low prevalence, gradual progression, and nonspecific symptomatology. It is currently believed that prompt surgical intervention is recommended for endolymphatic sac tumors upon diagnosis.

Background: Occult papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) refers to the PTC accidentally found due to its occult lesions. Classic, as the most common subtype of PTC, is usually considered to have a low degree of malignancy and a favorable prognosis. Currently, the American Thyroid Association Management Guidelines adopted active surveillance (AS) as an alternative to immediate surgery in some low-risk PTC patients with less than 1 cm in diameter.
