MRI of the gastrointestinal tract is gaining clinical acceptance and is increasingly used to evaluate patients with suspected small-bowel diseases. MRI may be performed with enterography or enteroclysis, both of which combine the advantages of cross-sectional imaging with those of conventional enteroclysis. In this paper, MRI features of primary small-bowel neoplasms, the most important signs for differential diagnosis and the diseases that can be considered as mimickers of small-bowel neoplasms, are discussed.

Sarcomatoid carcinoma is a rare type of tumour consisting of neoplastic cells expressing both epithelial and mesenchymal cell markers. The small intestine is a rare site for sarcomatoid carcinoma and to date, a few cases have been reported. In this manuscript, a case of jejunal sarcomatoid carcinoma in a man in his 50s is reported.

Background: Small Bowel Adenocarcinoma (SBA) is a rare gastrointestinal cancer with a limited understanding of the molecular pathology. This study aims to bridge the knowledge gap, providing a robust molecular foundation for SBA and addressing the clinical challenges inherent in treating this orphan disease. The study proposes to redefine the clinical management for SBA patients through advanced molecular profiling techniques to improve potential precision medicine.

Background: Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a form of chronic pancreatitis that presents clinically with obstructive icterus, histologically with infiltration of pancreatic parenchyma by inflammatory cells leading to chronic inflammation with fibrosis, and therapeutically with good response to corticosteroid therapy. Clinically, it may resemble malignant disease, making diagnosis difficult and requiring a multidisciplinary team (gastroenterologist, endoscopist, radiologist, surgeon, pathologist). Two types of AIP are distinguished.

Small cell neuroendocrine cervical carcinoma is a highly aggressive tumor characterized by early metastasis, a high recurrence rate, and poor prognosis. This study represents the first instance of single-cell sequencing conducted on small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix worldwide. Analysis of gene expression regulatory networks revealed that the transcription factor TFF3 drived up-regulation of ELF3.
