The patient was a 69-year-old multiparous female (gravida/para, 3/3) who had hypertension and arrhythmia. Her history included cerebral infarction treated with conservative therapy. She visited our hospital for atypical genital bleeding. She was diagnosed with atypical glandular cells (AGC) based on cervical cytology, atypical cells in endometrial cytology, and atypical endometrial hyperplasia on preoperative endometrial biopsy, and underwent total laparoscopic hysterectomy. However, in a postoperative pathologic examination, she was diagnosed with stage IB1 cervical adenocarcinoma without endometrial abnormality. AGC appeared in cervical cytology before surgery, but a surgical plan was not made with consideration of cervical adenocarcinoma.

Department of Gynecology, Sichuan Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Hospital of Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, People's Republic of China.

Background: Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE)-mediated membrane fusion is crucial for autophagy, making YKT6, a key modulator of cell membrane fusion, a potential target for cancer therapy. However, its oncogenic role across different cancers remains unclear. This study was to investigate the prognostic value and potential immunological functions of YKT6, including cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma (CESC).

A 36-year-old woman with a history of neck swelling was diagnosed with papillary thyroid carcinoma, a common but typically slow-growing thyroid cancer with a good prognosis. Despite frequent lymph node metastasis, mortality rates are low. This cancer can rarely spread to unusual areas like the axillary region.

Oxyntic gland neoplasms typically arise in Helicobacter pylori-naïve stomachs and are composed predominantly of chief cells, with a smaller component of parietal cells. The pathologic diagnosis can be challenging due to minimal cellular atypia. Especially in biopsy specimens with limited tumor volume or when pathologists have limited experience in diagnosing this neoplasm, distinguishing it from normal oxyntic glands can be difficult, and no reliable diagnostic markers are currently available.
