Extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma (EES) is a rare and aggressive malignancy originating in soft tissues, distinct from osseous Ewing sarcoma. It commonly affects adolescents and young adults but can occur at any age. Due to its rarity and overlapping clinical features with other malignancies, EES poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

BACKGROUND The thyroglossal duct cyst, which develops from the midline migratory tract between the foramen cecum and the anatomic location of the thyroid, is the most prevalent congenital abnormality of the neck, accounting for about 70% of all cervical neck masses in children and 7% in adults. Only up to 1% of these abnormalities contain malignant thyroid tissue, with 90% of those cases being papillary thyroid carcinoma. Thyroglossal duct cyst is rarely linked to carcinoma.

Background: Primary choriocarcinoma of the pulmonary artery is an exceedingly rare malignant neoplasm, which is often misdiagnosed due to its nonspecific clinical presentation. While this condition is characterized by the presence of trophoblastic cells, typically associated with gestational trophoblastic diseases, we encountered a case occurring in an extragenital location. The rarity of such tumors makes it challenging for clinicians to consider them in differential diagnosis, especially when the initial symptoms mimic more common conditions such as pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE).

Immune complex-mediated membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (IC-MPGN) and complement 3 glomerulopathy (C3G) are rare, complement-mediated kidney diseases, previously classified under the group of kidney disorders termed membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) type 1, type 2, and type 3. Despite new advances in our understanding of IC-MPGN and C3G, several unmet needs persist in the diagnosis and management of patients with these nephropathies, due in part to their rarity and their overlapping clinical presentations, histologic features, and underlying pathophysiologies. This review summarizes our current understanding of the role of complement in IC-MPGN and C3G, and underlines the key histopathologic differences between the diseases.
