The connections of an ectopic midline spinal ganglion associated with an asymptomatic sacral diastematomyelia were studied. The ganglion was intercalated in the ventral root of one hemicord and sent its efferents to the dorsal root of the other hemicord. The afferents joined the anterior root to form a midline intradural spinal nerve in the cauda equina. Islands of ectopic glia were present in both roots and the spinal nerve. Both the midline position of the ganglion and the glial heterotopias can be tentatively explained by the failure of incorporation of the dorsal cell wedge ("Zwischenstrang") into the divided neural tube.

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a prevalent clinical condition characterized by an inappropriate secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH). It is most often caused by one or more parathyroid adenomas, which can, in rare cases, be ectopically located. Ectopic adenomas can pose a diagnostic challenge, lead to treatment delay, and be a common cause of recurrent hypercalcemia after parathyroidectomy.

Ectopic thyroid is a rare congenital anomaly that results from failure of decent from the foramen cecum to the primitive thyroid during the stage of embryogenesis. The specific prevalence ranges from 1 in 100,000-300,000 population. Development, genetics, and mutation play a role in the formation of ectopic thyroid.

Median mandibular cyst is defined as an odontogenic cyst in a rare midline location. In spite of this definition, there have been two reports of a peculiar lesion, so-called "ciliated" median mandibular cyst associated with vital teeth, the origin of which cannot be explained in terms of odontogenic epithelium multipotentiality. We describe a thorough profile of an additional example.

The oncomutation lysine 27-to-methionine in histone H3 (H3K27M) is frequently identified in tumors of patients with diffuse midline glioma-H3K27 altered (DMG-H3K27a). H3K27M inhibits the deposition of the histone mark H3K27me3, which affects the maintenance of transcriptional programs and cell identity. Cells expressing H3K27M are also characterized by defects in genome integrity, but the mechanisms linking expression of the oncohistone to DNA damage remain mostly unknown.

Article Synopsis
- Supernumerary teeth are additional teeth that can appear anywhere in the mouth and may cause swelling; this case highlights a rare instance of one found in the horizontal plate of the palatine bone.
- A 10-year-old boy presented with a bony hard swelling in his palate, which was confirmed via a CT scan to be an impacted supernumerary tooth that was successfully extracted through surgery.
- The case underscores the importance of considering impacted supernumerary teeth in the diagnosis of oral swellings, particularly in the posterior hard palate.
