Congenital vitelline duct anomalies other than Meckel's diverticulum are rare in animals. A cyst of approximately 8 mm in diameter was observed on the antimesenteric surface of the ileal serosa in a 10-week-old female Crl:CD(SD) rat. Microscopically, the cyst closely resembled the ileum, but it did not communicate with the ileal lumen. We diagnosed this case as a vitelline cyst derived from the vitelline duct based on the location where it developed and its histological behavior. In rats, only Meckel's diverticulum has been reported with a congenital anomaly of the vitelline duct, and no other spontaneous anomalies including a vitelline cyst have been reported. This case may be the first report concerning a vitelline cyst in the rat ileum.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on children with symptomatic omphalomesenteric duct (OMD) anomalies, analyzing 35 cases from a hospital over four years.

Prostatic adenocarcinoma is characterized by elevated phosphatidylcholine metabolism. F-choline positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is widely used for patients with biochemical recurrence and a prostate-specific antigen threshold above 2 ng/mL. We report a case of a patient with high-risk prostatic adenocarcinoma undergoing F-choline PET/CT for biochemical recurrence.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-psychoactive component of cannabis with potential applications in biomedicine, food, and cosmetics due to its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and anticonvulsant properties. However, increasing reports of adverse CBD exposure events underscore the necessity of evaluating its toxicity. In this study, we investigated the developmental toxicity of CBD in zebrafish during the embryonic (0-4 dpf, days post fertilization) and early larval stages (5-7 dpf).

Article Synopsis
- Meckel's diverticulum, a developmental remnant from embryology, rarely presents with carcinoid tumors, and cases of both occurring together post-colectomy are uncommon.
- A 74-year-old male with a history of hypertension and diverticulitis experienced abdominal pain after undergoing a laparoscopic sigmoid colectomy due to cancerous changes in a polyp.
- Subsequent imaging revealed a perforated Meckel's diverticulum containing a carcinoid tumor, illustrating the complexities of postoperative complications and the need for careful monitoring of abdominal symptoms.
