Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis (NLCS) is a rare dermatological condition characterized by ectopic mature adipocytes in the dermis. The classic variety presents multiple clustered skin-colored nodules, while the solitary form is a single papule or nodule. We report the case of a 25-year-old female who presented with multiple cerebriform nodules coalescing into a large plaque over the left iliac region that developed over 17 months.

Introduction: With the widespread use of Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) in the chest, more and more people will be detected with pulmonary nodules. The presence of uncertainty following the detection of these nodules can impose significant psychological distress. This study aimed to investigate personality traits, psychological distress, and their impact on pulmonary nodule patients in China.

Distinguishing between primary adenocarcinoma (AC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) within non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumours holds significant management implications. We assessed the performance of radiomics-based models in distinguishing primary there is from SCC presenting as lung nodules on Computed Tomography (CT) scans. We studied individuals with histopathologically proven adenocarcinoma or SCC type NSCLC tumours, detected as lung nodules on Chest CT.

Background: Despite widespread use of standardized classification systems, risk stratification of thyroid nodules is nuanced and often requires diagnostic surgery. Genomic sequencing is available for this dilemma however, costs and access restricts global applicability. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to overcome this issue nevertheless, the need for black-box interpretability is pertinent.

Background: Despite the advancements in early lung cancer detection attributed to the widespread use of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT), this technology has also led to an increasing number of pulmonary nodules (PNs) of indeterminate significance being identified. Therefore, this study was aimed to develop a model that leverages plasma methylation biomarkers and clinical characteristics to distinguish between malignant and benign PNs.

Methods: In a training cohort of 210 patients with PNs, we evaluated plasma circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) for the presence of three lung cancer-specific methylation markers: SHOX2, SCT, and HOXA7.
