Desmoid tumors are rare benign neoplasms with an aggressive local growth. In children, intra-abdominal localization is less frequent and few reports exist in the literature about the management of DTs in those special patients. In our report, we describe a case of a 13-year old patient with a bifocal intra-abdominal DT, treated unsuccessfully with tamoxifene, and we discuss briefly the existing literature data.

The impact of left ventricular ejection fraction on cardiovascular and renal outcome in hypertensive patients with nondialysis chronic kidney disease.
J Hypertens
March 2025
Division of Nephrology, Department of Advanced Medical and Surgery Sciences.
Objectives: Identification of nondialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients at a higher risk of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) or adverse cardiovascular events is the first essential step to optimize management. We evaluated the role of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in predicting cardiac and renal outcome in CKD.
Methods: We prospectively studied 580 consecutive patients with nondialysis CKD followed in two Italian renal clinics in order to evaluate the association between LVEF as either continuous variable or categories (>60, 50-60 and <50%) and adjusted risks (hazard ratio, 95% confidence interval) of either cardiovascular (composite of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events) or renal events (composite of ESKD and all-cause death before ESKD).
Prevalence of extracranial carotid artery disease in symptomatic peripheral artery disease and implications for long-term outcome.
Ann Med
December 2025
Division of Angiology, Department of Medicine 2, Medical University of Vienna, Austria.
Background: Patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) still experience excessive rates of fatal cardiovascular events. In this context, the relevance of co-existing extracranial carotid artery disease (ECAD) on outcome in patients with PAD is unclear. Thus, this study elucidates long-term outcome effects of the presence of both atherosclerotic entities for further risk stratification.

J Paediatr Child Health
March 2025
Ihsan Dogramaci Children Hospital, Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey.
Objectives: Malrotation is a congenital anomaly characterized by improper positioning of the intestines that can cause a range of symptoms from asymptomatic to life-threatening, including midgut volvulus. Diagnosis of malrotation can be particularly challenging in cases where symptoms resemble those of other illnesses, such as severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID).
Case Report: In this case study, we describe a 2-month-old girl with midgut volvulus secondary to malrotation.
Lumbar round cell sarcoma in a 10-week-old rottweiler puppy.
Acta Vet Scand
March 2025
Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Dyrlaegevej 16, Frederiksberg C, DK-1870, Denmark.
Background: Spinal neoplasms are sparsely documented in juvenile dogs. Case reports and small case series have described nephroblastomas, primitive neuroectodermal tumours, gliomas, certain sarcomas, and osteochondromas, but round cell sarcomas have not previously been documented.
Case Presentation: This case report describes a 10-week-old female Rottweiler puppy with acute onset of progressive ataxia and pelvic limb lameness.
Collision tumor, a metastatic melanoma within a meningioma: a case report.
Acta Neuropathol Commun
March 2025
Massachusetts General Hospital, Mass General Cancer Center, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Background: Collision tumors, involving two distinct neoplasms in a single anatomical site, are rare. Among these, the metastasis of melanoma into an intracranial meningioma is particularly uncommon, with only four previously reported cases. Melanoma, known for its aggressive metastatic potential, contrasts sharply with the small number of collision tumor reports.
