A 46-Year-Old Man with an Incidental Finding of a Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma in a Thyroglossal Duct Cyst.
Am J Case Rep

Department of Otolaryngology, Military Institute of Aviation Medicine, Warsaw, Poland.
BACKGROUND The thyroglossal duct cyst, which develops from the midline migratory tract between the foramen cecum and the anatomic location of the thyroid, is the most prevalent congenital abnormality of the neck, accounting for about 70% of all cervical neck masses in children and 7% in adults. Only up to 1% of these abnormalities contain malignant thyroid tissue, with 90% of those cases being papillary thyroid carcinoma. Thyroglossal duct cyst is rarely linked to carcinoma.

The aim of this paper is to present our experience in transabdominal ultrasonography of ileocecal valve lesions. The ileocecal valve, located in the central part of the ileocecal bowel segment, is rarely the primary site of disease processes. It is usually involved by pathologies in adjacent bowel segments.

October 2024
Surgery, Bakersfield Memorial, Bakersfield, USA.
Article Synopsis
- - Large bowel obstruction (LBO) is relatively rare, often caused by colorectal adenocarcinoma, and it typically presents with symptoms like abdominal pain, constipation, and nausea; a CT scan is crucial for diagnosis.
- - A case study of a 41-year-old male showed severe LBO after a hernia repair, requiring emergency surgery due to findings of a blocked sigmoid colon and complications like pneumatosis.
- - Diverticulitis, which is increasingly affecting younger individuals, can lead to bowel obstructions and serious complications; educating all patients about risk factors, including diet and surgical history, is important.
High-Grade B-Cell Lymphoma: An Atypical Mass in the Colon.
Mil Med
November 2024
Department of Gastroenterology, Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, Portsmouth, VA 23708, USA.
Masses in the colon can range from benign to malignant etiologies, with adenocarcinoma being the most common malignancy. Although the most frequently encountered hematologic malignancy in the military population, lymphoma is uncommonly identified during colonoscopy. We present a rare case of an active duty service member with abdominal pain and a large mesenteric mass with extension into the cecum that was a high-grade B-cell lymphoma diagnosed through endoscopy.

November 2024
Cancer Research Center, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran.
Article Synopsis
- Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major cause of cancer deaths, and this study examines the genetic profiles of 40 Persian patients with metastatic CRC to identify mutations in tumor-related genes.
- The research found that common mutations included variants in the APC and TP53 genes, with specific variants linked to different tumor locations, particularly KRAS with rectosigmoid and ERBB2 with colon cases.
- The results underline the genetic diversity in this population, emphasizing the need for personalized treatment strategies based on genetic findings.
