Introduction: Acinar cell cystadenoma (ACA) is very rare and benign neoplasm of the pancreas; it arises from the normal acinar parenchyma of the pancreas and may exist as solitary or diffuse lesions.
Presentation Of Case: We here present a case of thirty-seven years old gentleman who incidentally was found to have multifocal cystic lesions distributed throughout the tail, body and uncinate process of the pancreas.
Discussion: Pre-operative diagnosis of pancreatic ACA remains very difficult and challenging despite advances in imaging techniques. Due to diffuse involvement of the pancreas by different size cystic lesions in this case, the initial diagnosis was suspected to be SB-IPMNs. A Surgical resection was performed, and pathological analysis of the lesions was consistent with ACAs.
Conclusion: To avoid unnecessary major pancreatic resection and its consequent complications. We hereby recommend clinicians to have a high index of suspicion for ACA within the differential of pancreatic cystic neoplasm.

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonotic disease caused by sensu lato, the metacestode of a tapeworm parasite of high medical importance. Infection of the parasite leads to the development of echinococcal cysts, and the spleen is a rarely infected organ. A 46-year-old woman who was born and who resides in Sardinia, Italy, was referred to the Echinococcosis outpatient clinic at the University Hospital of Sassari (Sardinia, Italy) for a pain in the left flank.

In this article, we report the first case of a 61-year-old woman who was diagnosed with both nodules and cystic lesions in her lungs. The lung nodules were diagnosed as ALK-positive histiocytosis (APH) carrying an gene fusion, which microscopically displayed a mixed morphology of foamy cells, spindle cells, and Touton's giant cells. Immunohistochemistry showed expression of CD163, CD68, and ALK, while fluorescence hybridization (FISH) with second-generation sequencing (NGS) showed the ALK gene fusion with the FLCN gene variant.

The outcome of tooth autotransplantation depends mainly on the transplant tooth's anatomy-the type of donor tooth and the developmental stage of root formation. Mature teeth display a higher complication rate due to lower pulp revascularization potential, requiring root canal treatment (RCT) pre- or postoperatively to avoid postoperative complications, which extends treatment duration and cost. This report details a 39-year-old patient's autotransplantation of a mature wisdom tooth to replace the first molar after unsuccessful root canal retreatment.

Lymphatic malformation is a rare vascular anomaly caused by abnormal lymphatic system development during embryogenesis. Intra-abdominal lymphatic malformations are uncommon in children, and surgical excision is considered the gold standard for treatment. However, few reports of minimally invasive laparoscopic approaches have been documented.
