A 41-year-old patient was hospitalised for a chronic right parotid mass. A cervical ultrasound revealed a cystic mass of the parotid. Cervical MRI found a ductal ectasia of the parotid and submandibular glands associated with a retention cyst of the right parotid. He had a right total parotidectomy. Histopathological examination of the lesion revealed a multilocular cystic mass with a diffuse glandular ectasia of salivary ducts. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course without any recurrence of symptoms.

Background: Type 2 autoimmune pancreatitis is characterized by multiple or segmental strictures of the main pancreatic duct without upstream dilatation. We encountered a case of mass-forming type 2 autoimmune pancreatitis with upstream main pancreatic duct dilatation that was difficult to diagnose preoperatively using endoscopic ultrasound sonography-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology.
Case Presentation: A 58-year-old Japanese man presented with recurrent acute pancreatitis secondary to a 10-mm pancreatic head tumor.

Women experience several systemic changes over all stages of life, many due to hormonal fluctuations. The sensation of dry mouth is the most common oral clinical symptom in women from climacteric period onwards, suggesting that sex hormones are important in maintaining salivary glands and oral homeostasis. Although the oral cavity is not conventional considered a target tissue for oestrogen, the extent to which salivary glands morphology and function are impacted by ageing and hormonal variations remain unknown.

Article Synopsis
- - Invasive Paget's disease of the nipple (IPDN) is a rare breast cancer characterized by aggressive tumor growth localized to the nipple, often requiring histopathological confirmation due to vague symptoms.
- - An 82-year-old female presented with a tender, inflamed right nipple, leading to an excision that revealed both Paget's disease and underlying ductal carcinoma in situ, along with signs of IPDN through small foci of dermal invasion.
- - Research indicates that while dermal invasion by Paget cells has minimal impact on clinical outcomes, cases with deep invasion pose risks for lymphatic spread, necessitating thorough clinical assessment and histopathological evaluation for effective treatment.
