Background: Hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma (HCCC) is a rare salivary gland neoplasm most often found in the oral cavity. Although it is generally a low-grade malignancy that is treated with wide local excision, there is a growing body of evidence pointing toward the potential for more aggressive behavior.
Methods: We reviewed available records of patients with delayed cervical lymph node metastases from HCCC.
Results: Two patients who were treated with wide local resection for HCCC and remained disease-free at the primary site were diagnosed with cervical lymph node metastases 10 and 14 years later. We treated both with neck dissection, and 1 patient received adjuvant radiation therapy.
Conclusion: These cases illustrate the risk for occult nodal metastases from HCCC with delayed presentation. Clinician awareness of the presence of subclinical metastases in the neck requires thorough long-term surveillance and potential intervention should nodal disease become manifest.

Introduction And Importance: Retiform hemangioendothelioma(RH) is a rare vascular tumor affecting patients over a wide age range without a gender predilection; only about 50 cases have been described so far.
Case Presentation: We report a case of submandibular retiform hemangioendothelioma in a 58-year-old woman who had been diagnosed with RH 20 years ago and had experienced recurrence four times during the past 20 years. This will increase the limited number of such cases in the hope of gaining a better understanding of this rare type of tumor.

Background: Explantation often alleviates symptoms in women with breast implant illness. However, persistent complaints in some cases may be linked to persistent silicone-induced inflammation from residual silicone particles. Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging could potentially detect this inflammation.

Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most frequent thyroid malignancy. Recently, the incidence has become widespread among both male and female individuals worldwide. In this article, we aim to report a 32-year-old Saudi female who presented with a painless lateral neck mass for more than seven months, and on excisional biopsy, was found to have features of PTC.

Background: Multifocality is a distinctive feature of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC); however, the biological behavior of PTC and its optimal management strategy remain unclear. The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical features and prognostic differences of multifocal papillary carcinoma and to guide the precise treatment of multifocal papillary carcinoma.
Methods: The medical records of 1,139 patients with PTC who had undergone total or hemi-thyroidectomy between April and October 2013 at the Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital were reviewed.

Background: When papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is accompanied by Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), it is often challenging for preoperative ultrasound to distinguish between central lymph node enlargement caused by PTC metastasis and inflammatory reaction due to HT. However, central lymph node metastasis (CLNM) is closely associated with the risk of PTC recurrence after surgery. In this study, we developed a model to predict in patients with PTC combined with HT, based on conventional ultrasound characteristics and shear wave elastography (SWE) quantitative parameters of the primary lesion.
