Malignant mesotheliomas may be classified into epithelioid (60%), sarcomatoid (20%), or mixed (20%) type microscopically. Malignant deciduoid mesothelioma, a rare phenotype of epithelioid mesothelioma, arises more commonly from the peritoneum of young women, but is also from the pleura of elderly people. In the current report, the authors describe an unusual case of peritoneal malignant epithelioid mesothelioma with rare deciduoid phenotype demonstrated with Ga SPECT/CT.

Unlabelled: Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) is a distinctive and potentially fatal form of hepatic injury that mainly occurs after hematopoietic-stem cell transplantation but also due to many other conditions including drug or toxin exposure. Recently, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionised the treatment of many solid organ malignancies. Furthermore, as their use has become more widespread, rare toxicities have emerged.

Primary pericardial mesothelioma is a highly aggressive and rare neoplasm that arises from the pericardial mesothelial cell and has a poor prognosis. The diagnosis is usually established by histological and immunohistochemical studies. Malignant mesothelioma most frequently occurs from the pleura (90%), less frequently from the peritoneum and pericardium (6%-10%), and very rarely from the tunica vaginalis in the testis.

In traditional medical education, learners are mostly trained to diagnose and treat patients through supervised practice. Artificial Intelligence and simulation techniques can complement such an educational practice. In this paper, we present GLARE-Edu, an innovative system in which AI knowledge-based methodologies and simulation are exploited to train learners "how to act" on patients based on the evidence-based best practices provided by clinical practice guidelines.

Article Synopsis
- Mesothelial cysts in the uterus are extremely rare; a 41-year-old woman experienced abdominal pain and imaging revealed a cystic mass in her uterus.
- The patient underwent laparoscopic surgery, where a 7 cm cystic lesion was found in the uterine wall.
- Pathological tests confirmed it was a mesothelial cyst, emphasizing that these cysts can resemble other conditions and are best diagnosed through surgical removal and examination.

Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare form of thoracic malignancy with a poor prognosis. Pleural effusion (PE) occurs in the majority of patients with MPM; however, its impact on MPM outcomes remains controversial. We searched for eligible patients from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, and clinicopathological information and outcomes were collected.
