An asymptomatic 79-year old woman presented with a 40 mm pancreatic cystic lesion, located in the pancreatic body-tail and consistent with branch-duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (BD-IPMN) without "high risk stigmata". During a 4-year follow-up period, imaging showed no mural nodules or main pancreatic duct dilation, and serum CEA and CA19.9 were within normal range.

Background: Müllerian cysts of the posterior mediastinum are rare, benign lesions typically discovered incidentally via routine medical exams.
Case Presentation: We present a distinctive case of a 49-year-old asymptomatic woman, illustrating a rare Müllerian cyst located in the posterior mediastinum with serous papillary cystadenoma-like features, a novel finding in the medical literature. Identified during a routine health screening in December 2020, a 20 mm cystic lesion adjacent to the T4-5 vertebral body was detected through chest CT and MRI, initially suggesting a neurogenic tumor.

Introduction: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) involves serosal surfaces in 2%-3% of cases, and thus few papers describe serous fluid cytology (SFC) involvement by RCC. This diagnosis is challenging, given its rarity, nondescript cytomorphologic features and infrequent expression of widely used epithelial markers MOC31 and BerEP4. We describe our institutional experience with RCC in SFC specimens.

The presence of cystic lymph nodes in the neck can present a challenging differential diagnosis, with considerations often including metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), cystic squamous cell carcinoma, and congenital cysts. The cytologic overlap between benign Müllerian inclusions and PTC features adds complexity, especially in unusual locations. A 45-year-old woman with a history of ovarian serous borderline tumor (SBT) and non-invasive Müllerian implants presented with cystic lymphadenopathy in the neck.

Background: Endometrial papillary serous carcinoma (EPSC) is a rare gynecological malignancy that often metastasizes before the presentation of symptoms or diagnosis of the primary disease. The most common locations of metastases for this malignancy are the lungs, liver, and bones. Metastases to the central nervous system (CNS) are rare.
