A 51-year-old man underwent right nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma. Six months later, a solitary metastatic tumor was detected in the pancreatic tail and he underwent distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy. One year and 6 months after the initial resection, a solitary metastatic tumor was detected in the pancreas head, and he underwent partial pancreatectomy. A solitary metastatic tumor was detected again in the remnant pancreatic body 3 years and 10 months after the initial resection. Partial resection of the distal part of the remnant pancreas was performed. The patient remains alive and well with no evidence of remnant disease 4 years after the initial resection.

Aim: This study aims to quantify the performance of the Brock model through a systematic review and meta-analysis and to clarify its overall accuracy in predicting malignant pulmonary nodules.

Materials And Methods: A systematic search was conducted in databases including the Cochrane Library, Excerpta Medica database (EMBASE), MEDLINE, Web of Science, Chinese Biological Medicine Database (CBM), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), VIP, and Wanfang from their inception until May 1, 2024, to collect observational cohort studies involving the Brock model. The primary outcome was the pooled area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) the area under curve (AUC) for the Brock model.

Echinococcus larval stage or a hydatid cyst, a parasitic disease that passes from animals to humans. Echinococcus granulosus and, less commonly, Echinococcus multilocularis species cause the disease. Intracranial echinococcosis is rare, with an incidence of approximately 1%-2%.

Background: Computed tomography (CT)-guided hook-wire localization is currently the most commonly used technique for preoperative localization of pulmonary nodules in clinical practice. With the increasing incidence of multiple primary lung cancers and the increasing occurrence of second primary lung cancers or local recurrences after lung cancer surgery, some patients need to undergo an ipsilateral or contralateral second pulmonary resection. In order to reduce the surgical difficulty of the second operation and accurately guide the surgical resection, preoperative localization of some nodules is necessary.

The aim of this study was to compare the technique of navigation-assisted biopsy based on fused PET and MRI datasets to CT-guided biopsies in terms of the duration of the procedure, radiation dose, complication rate, and accuracy of the biopsy, particularly in anatomically complex regions. Between 2019 and 2022, retrospectively collected data included all navigated biopsies and CT-guided biopsies of suspected primary bone tumors or solitary metastases. Navigation was based on preoperative CT, PET-CT/-MRI, and MRI datasets, and tumor biopsies were performed using intraoperative 3D imaging combined with a navigation system.
