Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is the most common malignant salivary gland tumour. Central mucoepidermoid carcinomas (CMC) are an exceedingly rare subgroup, representing 2-4% of all cases. The authors report on a case of CMC in a patient who presented with trigeminal neuropathy, trismus and distant metastasis. The possible pathogenesis of CMC and criteria for diagnosis are discussed.

Background: Malignant salivary gland tumors (SGTs) present diagnostic challenges and limited treatment options. This study aims to determine the proportion of malignant SGTs overexpressing the androgen receptor (AR) by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and its association to age, sex, anatomical site, histopathological subtype and grade which may inform customized treatment approaches.
Methodology: This was a retrospective cross-sectional analytical study of archived paraffin embedded tissue blocks of malignant SGTs diagnosed at MNH Central Pathology Laboratory (CPL) from January 2019 to December 2022.

A 20-year-old female underwent a health checkup that revealed an abnormal shadow in the left upper lung field on a chest radiograph. A further examination with chest computed tomography( CT) showed a 25 mm solid tumor in the center of B1+2 in the left upper lobe. A biopsy of the tumor obstructing the left B1+2 was performed during bronchoscopy, and a pathological study diagnosed it as mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the lung.

Sclerosing mucoepidermoid carcinoma with eosinophilia (SMECE) is a rare thyroid malignancy typically linked to chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis. We present the first documented case of SMECE in Georgia, involving a 41-year-old woman with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. A 16 mm hypoechoic thyroid nodule was detected on routine ultrasound, and fine needle aspiration categorized it as Bethesda V.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on treating locally advanced buccal mucosa cancer, primarily through surgery and postoperative radiotherapy with specific chemotherapy regimens, including Cisplatin and 5-Fluorouracil.
- It evaluates the effectiveness of de-escalated treatment using ipsilateral face radiotherapy, which targets only the affected side of the face to improve functions like chewing and mitigate side effects.
- A total of 54 patients were reviewed retrospectively, revealing treatment patterns and outcomes, including indications for radiation based on tumor margins and lymph node involvement, along with one patient's alternative treatment approach leading to poor outcomes.
