Serous cystadenofibromas are uncommon benign ovarian lesions, consisting of both fibrous and epithelial components, that are usually cystic but may contain solid or papillary architecture that can be confused with a malignancy on imaging. Papillary architecture seen on frozen section may also falsely steer the pathologist in the direction of a diagnosis of a borderline serous tumor. Overcalling the lesion may lead to more aggressive surgery than necessary, so extensive tissue sampling and consideration of this entity is important in possibly avoiding this mistake.

Clear cell papillary renal cell carcinoma (CCPRCC) was included as a separate entity in the World Health Organisation classification of renal tumours in 2016. Immuno-histopathological and genetic characteristics are much known, but still, clinical features and long-term follow-up require more consolidated data. We report three cases of CCPRCC, detected in different clinical settings.

Background: Central lymph node metastasis (CLNM) in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) significantly influences surgical decision-making strategies.

Objectives: This study aims to develop a predictive model for CLNM in PTC patients using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and clinicopathological data.

Methods: By incorporating deep learning (DL) algorithms, the model seeks to address the challenges in diagnosing CLNM and reduce overtreatment.

Idiopathic gingival papillokeratosis with crypt formation (IGPC) is a new and a very rare benign entity, clinically characterized by white-yellowish plaques with papillary architecture located in the upper labial gingiva of adolescent patients. The condition generally exhibits a bilateral symmetrical distribution and is asymptomatic. We report two new cases, one with a classic presentation and the other in an older individual.
