A lipoblastoma is a benign tumor of adipocytes originating from embryonic white fat and occurs in the pediatric population. Congenital lipoblastomas, however, are rare, and the incidence of these tumors in neonates is unknown. Due to their rare presentation, congenital oral lipoblastomas can, firstly, pose diagnostic challenges for the pediatrician and must be differentiated from the more commonly seen oral lesions in the newborn and other rare malignant growths.

Car accidents, infections caused by bacteria or viruses, metastatic lesions, tumors, and malignancies are the most frequent causes of chest wall damage, leading to the removal of the affected area. After excision, artificial bone or synthetic materials are used in chest wall reconstruction to restore the skeletal structure of the chest. Chest implants have traditionally been made from metallic materials like titanium alloys due to their biocompatibility and durability.

Background: Temozolomide (TMZ), a non-classical alkylating agent, possesses lipophilic properties that allow it to cross the blood-brain barrier, making it active within the central nervous system. Furthermore, the adverse reactions of the TMZ are relatively mild, which is why it is currently recommended as a first-line chemotherapy drug for refractory pituitary adenomas (RPAs) and pituitary carcinomas (PCs).
Summary: Systematic evaluations indicate a radiological response rate of 41% and a hormonal response rate of 53%, underscoring TMZ clinical efficacy, particularly when combined with radiotherapy.

Purpose: The optimal lymphadenectomy approach for solid-dominant stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is controversial. We compared postlobectomy survival outcomes to elucidate.
Materials And Methods: Patients diagnosed with solid-dominant stage I NSCLC between 2008 and 2015 were included and grouped according to the mode of lymphadenectomy.
