Endometriosis is a pathological feature induced by the presence and ectopic development of islets of endometrial active cells. The most common site of occurrence is the genital system, causing specific gynecological pathology. The extragenital localization of endometriosis is rare, but it is more severe and it may have a malignant local evolution, although its structures remain benign. The endometrial inclusions in the abdominal wall scar are iatrogenic "implants", created at the same time with the surgical operation, performed on patients with genital endometriosis. The only curable treatment of this topography of endometriosis is the surgical removal of all the pathological tissue, through a large excision. The hormonal therapy is adjuvant. Our study presents three cases treated in our clinic; the most important objective was to establish the etiological diagnosis and, subsequently, the large excision of the lesions.

This case report describes a 66-year-old male diagnosed with a giant retroperitoneal lymphangioma, presenting with an abdominal mass confirmed via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Laparoscopic surgery was successfully performed to excise the mass, with histopathological examination confirming the diagnosis. The patient's postoperative recovery was uneventful, with no signs of recurrence or metastasis observed at the three-month follow-up.

Cardiac stereotactic body radiotherapy is a promising noninvasive treatment for patients with refractory ventricular tachycardia. With the aim to prove feasibility of a novel image guided radiotherapy and heart motion gating device, cardiac proton radiotherapy was performed using a porcine model. Using a novel adaptation of γ - H2AX tissue staining techniques, we have been able to localize a radiation beam in large animal tissue to assess targeting accuracy within a defined field.

Lymphatic malformation is a rare vascular anomaly caused by abnormal lymphatic system development during embryogenesis. Intra-abdominal lymphatic malformations are uncommon in children, and surgical excision is considered the gold standard for treatment. However, few reports of minimally invasive laparoscopic approaches have been documented.

Background: Thymolipomas are rare benign mediastinal tumors primarily occurring in young adults, although they can also present in pediatric populations. These tumors are often asymptomatic, but their substantial size can create significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, necessitating careful evaluation and management.
Case Description: A teenage girl was diagnosed with a giant thymolipoma, which was discovered incidentally during a routine chest radiograph.
