Lymphoepithelioma-like intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is a rare variant of cholangiocarcinoma that is associated with the Epstein-Barr virus. The intimate relationship between the malignant epithelial cells and the numerous lymphoid cells can make the diagnosis challenging on limited tissue samples. We present 2 cases in which the presence of a dense hematolymphoid infiltrate served to mask the diagnosis of carcinoma on initial frozen section and biopsy review, respectively. We bring awareness to this potential diagnostic pitfall and offer morphologic and immunohistochemical clues that may aid in recognition of this unusual and sometimes perplexing carcinoma.

Recent studies have confirmed that certain circRNAs encode proteins that are integral to various biological functions. In this study, we present CICADA, an algorithm specifically designed to assess the protein-coding potential and coding products of circRNAs at high throughput, which enables the identification of previously unknown circRNA-encoded proteins. By harnessing the potential of this algorithm, we identified a variety of functional, protein-coding circRNAs in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and established circRNA translation profiles for diverse types of cancer.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a malignancy with a poor prognosis, and the majority of patients with HNSCC are diagnosed at later stages owing to its hidden anatomical location and atypical clinical symptoms. It is notably prone to recurrence and metastasis. The traditional treatments include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the benefit of dual-time point 68Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT in staging head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).
Patients And Methods: Sixty-nine treatment-naive patients with HNSCC were enrolled. Each patient underwent whole-body 68Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT at approximately 30 minutes postinjection and a delayed scan in head and neck region at 2 hours.
