Article Abstract
Solitary metastasis from breast carcinoma to the gastrointestinal tract is an uncommon finding. We describe a female patient with a solitary jejunal metastasis from an undiagnosed breast cancer who presented to the emergency department with a bowel obstruction. Abdominal surgery was performed, revealing a jejunal stenosis from a metastatic lobular carcinoma. The primary tumor in the left breast was subsequently diagnosed and surgically removed.

Description: Gastric cancer (GC) is a leading cause of preventable cancer and mortality in certain US populations. The most impactful way to reduce GC mortality is via primary prevention, namely Helicobacter pylori eradication, and secondary prevention, namely endoscopic screening and surveillance of precancerous conditions, such as gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM). An emerging body of evidence supports the possible impact of these strategies on GC incidence and mortality in identifiable high-risk populations in the United States.

Article Synopsis
- Multiple myeloma (MM) patients are treated by multidisciplinary teams, with surgery needed for serious issues like instability or neurological problems; otherwise, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are main treatments.
- A 66-year-old man with a kyphotic chin-on-chest deformity due to undiagnosed spinal MM experienced severe neck pain and limited daily activities, leading to significant imaging findings that indicated severe bone damage.
- His treatment involved halo traction to realign his spine and improve bone density, followed by surgery for decompression and fusion, resulting in symptom improvement and stability without complications a year later.

Lung cancer is commonly diagnosed at advanced stages, often presenting with metastases. Although bone metastases are common in lung cancer patients, acrometastases - metastatic lesions in the bones of the hand - are exceedingly rare. Herein, we report the case of a 71-year-old male with previously undiagnosed lung adenocarcinoma, which first manifested as a painful swelling in the right hand.

He was a poor surgical candidate because of his bleeding risks and advanced liver cirrhosis. He successfully underwent urgent large-bore aspiration thrombectomy under simultaneous echocardiography and fluoroscopy, thus leading to a diagnosis of metastatic malignant disease.
