The term nevi constitute a hamartomatous growth of either skin or mucosa that is generally found at birth or shortly after birth. An epidermal nevus consisting chiefly of sebaceous glands is called as nevus sebaceous. Typically this entity is seen as a solitary bald patch over the scalp at birth. We report a case of exophytic lesion following blaschko's lines at birth. We find this case as peculiar because of the multiplicity of lesions, their pattern of distribution, as well as their atypical morphology.

Health networking on cancer in the European Union: a 'green paper' by the EU Joint Action on Networks of Expertise (JANE).
ESMO Open
January 2025
Evaluative Epidemiology Unit, Department of Epidemiology and Data Science, Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori, Milan, Italy.
Health networking is in principle a formidable instrument to address many challenges posed by cancer, one of the two most common and most lethal non-communicable chronic diseases. The European Union (EU)'s Beating Cancer Plan foresaw the addition of new health networks to the four already existing European Reference Networks on rare cancers: the Network of Comprehensive Cancer Centres and several networks of expertise (NoEs), which will be shortly deployed on items as complex and poor-prognosis cancers, palliative care, survivorship, personalised primary and secondary prevention, omic technologies, hi-tech medical resources, and cancers in adolescents and young adults. The community of experts of the EU Joint Action, due to build such NoEs, has drafted this 'green paper', incorporating 13 open questions, in an effort to foster discussion on some open questions about health networking on cancer in the EU.

Introduction And Importance: Desmoid tumours typically arise in the abdomen and extremities. They are rare, originating from mesenchymal cells, with intra-abdominal desmoid tumours (DT) being even less common. While non-malignant and non-metastatic, they can be locally invasive, often necessitating surgical intervention for complete resection.

Wernicke's encephalopathy (WE) is a severe neurological condition caused by the deficiency of thiamine, which is a vitamin B1 molecule. Herein, we present the case of a 3-year-old girl with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) who did not achieve remission despite steroid pulse therapy (MPT) and rituximab. She had frequent vomiting and decreased oral intake on the 61st day.

Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) describes a group of rare benign and cancerous lesions originating from the trophoblast cells of the placenta. These neoplasms are unconventional entities, being one of the few instances in which cancer develops from the cells of another organism, the foetus. Although this condition was first described over 100 years ago, the specific genetic and non-genetic drivers of this disease remain unknown to this day.

We examined the case report written by Ke , describing a rare clinical case. In this editorial, we would like to emphasize the differential diagnosis of rectal masses through a rare case. We describe a case of ameboma, which manifested itself as a mass in the rectum in terms of imaging and rectoscopic features, in an immunocompetent patient who had complaints of constipation and rectal bleeding for weeks.
