We report on a rare case of a laryngeal carcinoma arising in a multifocal pharyngolaryngeal oncocytic papillary cystadenoma (OPC). The disease of a 63-year-old man is well documented by computed and positron emission tomography, histology, and electron microscopy. We could show that an OPC can even develop in the pharynx. The coexistence of both tumors makes this a challenging diagnosis for pathologists. Treated by surgery and radiotherapy, both lesions dissolved. Based on the literature available, we discuss the theory that the laryngeal carcinoma might be the result of a true metaplasia facilitated by chronic irritation and recommend a regular follow-up for OPC too. As in benign oncocytic lesions, we could show that the detection of numerous mitochondria is a diagnostic indicator for malignant variants as well.

New Developments in VHL-Associated Neuroendocrine Neoplasms.
Curr Oncol Rep
January 2025
Neuroendocrine Tumour Unit, ENETS Centre of Excellence, 1st Department of Propaedeutic and Internal Medicine, Laiko Hospital, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Agiou Thoma 17, Athens, 11527, Greece.
Purpose Of Review: The purpose of this review is to outline the current knowledge on epidemiology, diagnosis and management of neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) that develop in the context of Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome.
Recent Findings: Pancreatic NENs develop in 8-17% of VHL patients (vPNENs) and are mostly multi-focal, cystic and non-functioning. Surgical resection is recommended for vPNENS > 3 cm that exhibit higher metastatic potential or in tumors with short doubling time while in the 20% of cases with metastatic disease the HIF-2 A inhibitor belzutifan is considered a promising option.
In silico neoantigen screening and HLA multimer-based validation identify immunogenic neopeptide in multifocal lung adenocarcinoma.

Department of Immunology, School of Basic Medicine, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China.
Background: Mutations commonly occur in cancer cells, arising neoantigen as potential targets for personalized immunotherapy of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). However, the substantial heterogeneity observed among individuals and distinct foci within the same patient presents significant challenges in formulating immunotherapy strategies. The aim of the work is to characterize the mutation pattern and identify neopeptides across different patients and diverse foci within the same patients with LUAD.

Introduction: Ischaemic stroke, primarily caused by thromboembolic events, typically arises as a consequence of underlying vascular or cardiac pathology. Non-thrombotic embolic strokes, although rare, are increasingly seen in interventional and intravascular procedures. Oxygen-ozone therapy (OOT) is one of the popular treatments for lumbar disc herniation, providing pain relief.

Article Synopsis
- * These tumors have a potential risk of metastasis and the 2022 WHO classification emphasizes combining morphology with functional and genetic studies for more accurate diagnosis and prognosis.
- * This review aims to update pathologists on modern diagnostic strategies, focusing on biomarkers and genetic profiling, while addressing challenges in identifying metastatic disease.
Partial agenesis of the dorsal pancreas with features of chronic pancreatitis: A case report.
Radiol Case Rep
January 2025
Wyagal Radiology Center, Kabul, Afghanistan.
Article Synopsis
- Complete agenesis of the pancreas is life-threatening, but partial agenesis of the dorsal pancreas is less severe and linked to abnormal development; its causes are still unclear.
- A 60-year-old woman's abdominal CT revealed partial agenesis of the dorsal pancreas alongside signs of chronic pancreatitis, with no other complications noted.
- Advances in imaging techniques have increased awareness and diagnosis of partial dorsal pancreas agenesis, and while treatment isn’t required alone, annual check-ups are advised due to potential cancer risk in the ventral pancreas.
