Peritoneal keratin granulomatosis is a rare tumor-like lesion caused by deposition of tumor-produced keratin. It may be associated with endometrial or ovarian endometrioid adenocarcinoma, atypical polypoid adenomyoma of the endometrium, or ruptured mature teratomas of the ovary. We present 2 cases of peritoneal keratin granulomatosis associated with FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) stage 1 endometrial adenocarcinoma. This entity can mimic advanced-stage disease clinically and radiologically, as it did in those cases, and constitutes a diagnostic pitfall that pathologists and surgeons must be aware.

Purpose: Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (Fgfr2) is crucial for the homeostasis of meibomian gland (MG). However, the role of Fgfr2 in MG ductal epithelial progenitors remains to be delineated. Herein, we created a new transgenic mouse model with conditional deletion of Fgfr2 from MG ductal progenitors and investigated the cell-specific role in the pathogenesis of obstructive meibomian gland dysfunction.

Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is a high-grade, primitive round cell sarcoma classically associated with prominent desmoplastic stroma, coexpression of keratin and desmin, and a characteristic EWSR1::WT1 gene fusion. DSRCT typically arises in the abdominopelvic cavity of young males with diffuse peritoneal spread and poor overall survival. Although originally considered to be pathognomonic for DSRCT, EWSR1::WT1 gene fusions have recently been detected in rare tumors lacking the characteristic morphologic and immunohistochemical features of DSRCT.

Primary rectal adenocarcinoma with extensive choriocarcinomatous differentiation is a rare neoplasm, with only sporadic cases reported worldwide. The prognosis is typically poor, and no standard therapy has been established for this tumor. We report a case of a 63-year-old woman who presented with lower abdominal and pelvic discomfort, as well as rectal bleeding.

A total of 12 systemically healthy individuals presenting with 30 isolated/multiple Cairo RT 1/2 gingival recession defects in maxillary canines and premolars were randomly treated either with CAF + XCM or CAF + CTG. Recession height (RH), gingival biotype (GB), gingival thickness (GT), width of keratinized gingiva (WKG), and width of attached gingiva (WAG) were recorded at baseline and at 3, 6, and 12 months.

Background Context: Secondary spinal arachnoid cysts have rarely been reported but present significant challenges for management. These cysts could be anteriorly located with long rostral-caudal extensions and many are related to arachnoiditis, leading to difficult-to-treat disorders. Thus far, due to the scarcity of reports, the features of the disease and the optimal therapeutic strategies remain unclear.
