The present work discusses soft tissue sarcoma in the head and neck area, due to the new published German S3-Guideline "adult soft tissue sarcoma". The head and neck surgeon plays the central role in the diagnosis and treatment of the vast majority of cases. It is crucial to admit the patients immediately to specialized centers for diagnoses and specific treatment. Regarding correct diagnostic procedures, in contrast to squamous cell carcinoma, a larger accidental excisional biopsy within the tumor tissue is strongly prognostic negative. After confirmation of histology and tumor extension, it is mandatory to discuss the interdisciplinary treatment concept. If possible, introduction of the patient in ongoing clinical studies is key.

An 84-year-old lady presented with 1 day history of sudden onset generalized abdominal pain, fevers, and peritonism. Computed tomography was suggestive of a mid-small bowel perforation associated with a distal ovoid soft tissue density structure without pneumobilia. An urgent laparotomy demonstrated two areas of jejunal diverticula necrosis and perforation associated with a 3 cm luminal mass in the proximal ileum, and proximal small bowel dilatation.

Background: Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) represents one of the rarer forms of plasma cell malignancies, capable of impacting a variety of tissues and organs throughout the body. The majority of EMP cases are predominantly found in the head and neck region, especially within the laryngopharynx, as well as in the gastrointestinal tract. While there have been documented instances of oropharyngeal involvement in EMP cases in the academic literature, it is important to note that EMP specifically affecting the uvula is exceedingly uncommon.

Cutting soft materials on the microscale has emerging applications in single-cell studies, tissue microdissection for organoid culture, drug screens, and other analyses. However, the cutting process is complex and remains incompletely understood. Furthermore, precise control over blade geometries, such as the blade tip radius, has been difficult to achieve.

This case report discusses the successful management of a deep palatal developmental groove associated with Stage III generalized Grade C periodontitis. Despite prior nonsurgical periodontal therapy, the disease progressed rapidly, necessitating further intervention. A comprehensive evaluation revealed generalized periodontitis with localized tooth-related predisposing factor due to a developmental groove in the vital upper left lateral incisor.

Increased infection rates are seen in those patients with medical devices inserted, due to this organism's innate ability to attach to moist and inanimate objects.
