The congenital granular cell lesion most commonly occurs on the maxillary or mandibular alveolus of neonates. Extra-alveolar congenital granular cell lesion is exceptionally rare, with only 10 cases reported. Two additional cases occurring on the tongue are presented with a description of the clinical, histopathologic, and immunohistochemical features. The differential diagnosis is discussed, and the literature reviewed.

Congenital goiter in an alpaca (Vicugna pacos) fetus concomitant with brain pathology in the dam: composing the puzzle.
Vet Res Commun
January 2025
Department of Veterinary Medicine, University of Perugia, Via San Costanzo, 4, Perugia, 06126, Italy.
This study describes the congenital goiter in an alpaca (Vicugna pacos) fetus aborted in November 2021 with the clinical and pathological findings in the dam that was found dead on the farm three weeks after a miscarriage. The dam was a black coat alpaca bred in the Netherlands, imported in Italy in January 2021, and housed in a farm of central Italy for breeding purposes. Signalment and clinical data on dam and fetus were collected from the farmer and referring veterinarian.

Sporadic late-onset nemaline rod myopathy is a rare, acquired, sub-acute, adult-onset myopathy characterized by proximal muscle weakness and nemaline rods in the myofibers. In contrast to its congenital form, the prevalence in adult population is comparatively rare. Herein, we report a case of 60-year-old male who presented with insidious onset proximal muscle weakness with myopathic pattern on electromyography.

Study Question: What are the roles of maternal preconception diabetes and related periconceptional hyperglycemia on the risk of major congenital malformations (MCMs) in offspring?
Summary Answer: Maternal periconceptional glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels over 5.6% were associated with an increased risk of congenital heart defects (CHD) in the offspring, and maternal preconception diabetes was associated with an increased risk of CHD, including when HbA1c levels were within euglycemic ranges.
What Is Known Already: Maternal preconception diabetes has been linked with MCMs in the offspring.
Novel linkage of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons database and hospital electronic health records.

Congenital Heart Center, Atrium Health Levine Children's Hospital, Charlotte, NC, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Congenital Heart Surgery Database is a major global resource on congenital heart surgeries, but lacks data on complications, comorbidities, and long-term patient outcomes.
- This study assessed how effectively this database could be linked to hospital electronic health records in North Carolina and Georgia, using both indirect and direct identifiers.
- Results showed that indirect linkage matched 79% of admissions, while direct methods achieved up to 99.5% success, demonstrating the effectiveness of integrating surgical data with electronic records for better patient care insights.
Maternal implications of fetal anomalies: a population-based cross-sectional study.
Am J Obstet Gynecol MFM

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Macon and Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences at Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA (Atwani, Saade, Kawakita).
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how different types of fetal anomalies impact maternal health outcomes, particularly severe maternal morbidity (SMM), using U.S. birth data from 2011 to 2020.
- Findings show that most fetal anomalies increase the risk of SMM during pregnancy, with higher risks associated with conditions like cleft lip, spina bifida, and congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
- The analysis included over 35 million pregnancies and found that while most anomalies raised the risk of maternal complications, gastroschisis and limb anomalies did not significantly affect SMM outcomes.
