EARLY RELAPSE: Early relapse (primary or secondary) is defined by relapse of disease less than 6 months before the last infusion of chemotherapy (with a platinum compound). There is no carcinological surgical indication. Disease should be treated with a non-platinum single agent (pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, weekly paclitaxel, gemcitabine or topotecan). Bevacizumab can be added if patients have not already received it (level of proof 1, grade A).

Inflammatory bowel disease, particularly Crohn's disease (CD), has been linked to modifications in mesenteric adipose tissue (MAT) and the phenomenon known as "creeping fat" (CrF). The presence of CrF is believed to serve as a predictor for early clinical recurrence following surgical intervention in patients with CD. Notably, the incorporation of the mesentery during ileocolic resection for CD has been correlated with a decrease in surgical recurrence, indicating the significant role of MAT in the pathogenesis of CD.

Müllerianosis of the urinary bladder is a rare pathological condition involving ectopic Müllerian-derived tissues within the bladder. Despite its benign nature, due to its ability to mimic malignant conditions such as bladder carcinoma, diagnosis might be challenging. In this review, data from 36 cases across 32 studies were analyzed, focusing on patient demographics, symptomatology, diagnostic imaging, and histopathological features.

Aseptic splenic abscesses are rare in the early phases of Crohn's disease and are typically reported in patients with longstanding illness or uncontrolled symptoms despite medical treatment. We present a case of recurrent aseptic splenic abscesses in a young man newly diagnosed with Crohn's disease, whose illness remained well-controlled. This unique case raises questions regarding the spontaneous resolution of aseptic splenic abscesses without steroid therapy and their recurrence without acute Crohn's disease flare-ups.

Therefore, determining recurrence prognostic factors is very crucial to identify patients at risk of early relapse, maintain remission, and improve outcomes. Materials and methods This retrospective cohort study enrolled HD patients at the National Research Institute of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (NRITLD), Masih Daneshvari Hospital, between January 1, 2002, and June 30, 2018.
