Meningioma is the most common central nervous system tumor that usually behaves benignly and has a good prognosis after treatment with tumor gross resection and with or without adjuvant therapy. Malignancy in meningioma is very rare and extracranial metastasis to cervical lymph nodes is even rarer. We report a case of a 40-year-old woman diagnosed with metastatic rhabdoid meningioma. She had recurrent primary disease and metastasis to bilateral cervical lymph nodes. She previously had intracranial tumor twice resected. We also review relevant, previously published cases in the literature. I hope you find these suggestions helpful.

A 66-year-old woman presented with 9 days of left clavicle pain, with no history of recent trauma. CT images showed a left clavicle fracture with a surrounding soft tissue mass. An 18F-FDG PET/CT scan revealed increased FDG uptake in the tonsils, multiple lymph nodes, and the pathologically fractured clavicle, initially suggesting malignancy.

The diagnostic process and discrimination of mucosal lesions present a formidable challenge for numerous clinicians, primarily attributable to the common overlap of clinical manifestations observed across various categories, including infectious, autoimmune, connective tissue, and systemic vascular inflammatory diseases. In cases of mucosal lesions, syphilis presents distinctive characteristics that can help clinicians differentiate it from other conditions. The most common manifestation of primary syphilis is mostly a painless, firm, indurated ulcer known as a chancre, which typically appears at the site of inoculation, with enlargement of regional lymph nodes.

Background And Objectives: Since the publication of the German Cooperative Oncology Group Selective Lymphadenectomy Trial and Multicenter Selective Lymphadenectomy Trial II (MSLT2) trials, the treatment paradigm for node-positive melanoma has shifted from completion lymph node dissection (LND) to nodal ultrasound surveillance. We sought to identify the impact of this practice change on postoperative outcomes in a national cohort.
Methods: The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was queried for patients diagnosed with truncal/extremity malignant melanoma who underwent axillary/inguinal LND.

Purpose: This study systematically evaluated the diagnostic performance of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) quantitative parameters in detecting cervical lymph node metastasis in patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC).
Method: We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang Data databases for relevant original studies from database inception to March 2024. The quality of the included studies was evaluated using the QUADAS-2 tool.
Differential impact of lymphatic outflow pathways on cerebrospinal fluid homeostasis.

Dysfunctional lymphatic drainage from the central nervous system (CNS) has been linked to neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative disorders, but our understanding of the lymphatic contribution to CNS fluid autoregulation remains limited. Here, we studied forces that drive the outflow of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) into the deep and superficial cervical lymph nodes (dcLN and scLN) and tested how the blockade of lymphatic networks affects CNS fluid homeostasis. Outflow to the dcLN occurred spontaneously in the absence of lymphatic pumping and was coupled to intracranial pressure (ICP), whereas scLN drainage was driven by pumping.
