AI Article Synopsis
- Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is an uncommon condition typically linked to a ruptured low-grade mucinous tumor in the appendix, but it can also arise from ovarian cancer.
- This case discussion highlights a unique instance of a post-menopausal woman diagnosed with both endometrioid endometrial adenocarcinoma and a low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm, along with PMP.
- The coexistence of these specific cancers has not been previously reported, making this case noteworthy for medical literature.
Article Abstract
Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare condition usually associated with ruptured low-grade mucinous neoplasm of the appendix. Rarely, PMP can originate from mucinous adenocarcinoma of the ovary. However, the coexistence of adenocarcinoma of the endometrium and appendiceal mucinous neoplasm has not been reported. We present the case of a post-menopausal woman with endometrioid endometrial adenocarcinoma with unexpected low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm and PMP.

Annular pancreas is a rare congenital anatomical anomaly, in which the pancreatic parenchyma surrounds the descending duodenum. Generally, annular pancreas is diagnosed on the basis of symptoms associated with complications of peptic ulcer, pancreatitis, cholelithiasis, and rarely, malignant tumors. Herein, we report an 84-year-old man for whom, during hospitalization for a urinary tract infection, pancreatic cystic lesions and an annular pancreas were noted incidentally on computed tomography.

Mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasm (MiNEN) of the colon is rare with a poor prognosis. Since the first description of a mixed neoplasm 100 years ago, the nomenclature has evolved, most recently with the 2022 World Health Organization (WHO) classification system. We describe our experience of a case of locoregionally advanced MiNEN of the descending colon treated with curative laparoscopic resection and adjuvant chemotherapy.

Biological processes intricately intertwine with tumorigenesis, significantly influencing treatment outcomes and prognosis. However, the mechanisms fostering mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) remain inadequately elucidated. This research utilizes expression profiles of lncRNAs from clinical MEC tissues and matched normal glandular tissues, integrating public data to explore the biological mechanisms and immune microenvironment characteristics of tumorigenesis.

Article Synopsis
- The study assesses the risk associated with sub-centimeter Side-Branch Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasms (SB-IPMN) to inform a surveillance strategy.
- Sub-centimeter SB-IPMNs show a lower rate of clinically relevant progression compared to larger cysts, although they can still develop high-risk pathologies over time.
- The findings suggest that size growth alone is not a reliable indicator of malignant potential, emphasizing the need for careful monitoring regardless of cyst size.
Laparoscopic peritoneal mucinous cystadenoma debulking: A case report.

Department of General Surgery, Nujiang Prefecture People's Hospital, Yunnan, Nujiang, China.
Rationale: Peritoneal mucinous cystadenoma is rare in the clinic, lacks specific clinical manifestations, tumor markers, and imaging features, and is easily misdiagnosed and missed. Clinical practitioners should maintain a high level of vigilance. Here, we report a case of laparoscopic peritoneal mucinous cystadenoma stripping to improve our understanding of the disease.
