Glycogen rich cell carcinoma (GRCC) is a rare subtype of primary malignant neoplasm of the breast. Less than 150 cases have been reported since its first description, thus, making its prognosis unclear and vary from one literature to another. Here we present a 5-year cancer free after the completion of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and targeted-therapy in a 55-year-old female patient with GRCC of the breast. The purpose of reporting this case is to increase the knowledge about this rare subtype of breast cancer and chance of better survival.

Tracheal schwannomas are exceedingly rare, accounting for a minute fraction of primary tracheal tumors. They are classified into intraluminal and mixed types, with treatment strategies varying significantly between these subtypes. While thorax tomography is usually sufficient to distinguish intraluminal and mixed type, endobronchial ultrasonography (EBUS) can also be used in cases where the distinction cannot be made clearly with tomography.

Introduction: Appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (AMNs) represent a rare and diagnostically challenging group of tumors. This systematic review aims to summarize the reported molecular and immunohistochemical markers (IHC) associated with AMNs and compare them with ovarian mucinous neoplasms (OMNs) and colorectal adenocarcinoma (CRC).

Methods: A comprehensive search was performed in PubMed/MEDLINE/PMC, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science databases to identify studies looking at IHC and molecular markers in AMNs.

The result is an uncontrolled accumulation of by-products of cellular metabolism. Lysosomal storage diseases are inherited diseases, transmitted mainly in an autosomal recessive fashion.
