Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) has recently been well recognized and Kuttner tumor is known to be a chronic sclerosing sialadenitis, representing the focal manifestation of IgG4-RD, in the submandibular gland (SMG). This study is to evaluate the immunologic features of IgG4-related Kuttner tumor in the SMG. We retrospectively chose 13 patients who were confirmed as having Kuttner tumor by surgical biopsy between May 2012 and January 2019. The fine-needle aspiration cytology, serum antibody levels (anti-Ro antibodies, anti-La antibodies), IgG serum levels (total IgG and IgG4), and immunohistochemical findings for IgG and IgG4-positive plasma cells were reviewed. The cytologic results found that 7 of the 9 cases were reported as chronic sialoadenitis, and the other 3 as benign lymphoproliferative lesion. The serum levels of autoantibodies, Sjögren-syndrome-related antigen A/Ro-Ab and Sjögren-syndrome-related antigen A/Ro-La, showed all normal values of serum level. The serum level of IgG was increased in only 4 among the cases. However, the IgG4 levels were significantly increased in 11 among the cases. In all the patients who received resection of SMG, immunohistochemical findings showed all positive for IgG4-RD, with elevated numbers of IgG and IgG4-positive plasma cells. The evaluation of IgG4 serum level should be very informative for the diagnosis of this tumor before surgery. Fine-needle aspiration cytology with ultrasound guidance are not conclusive in this study. The immunological study including IgG4 serum level should be required for proper diagnosis and treatment, with clinical features of the Kuttner tumor. The level of evidence was IV.

Deep learning-based postoperative glioblastoma segmentation and extent of resection evaluation: Development, external validation, and model comparison.
Neurooncol Adv

Department of Neurosurgery, RÃo Hortega University Hospital, Valladolid, Spain.
Article Synopsis
- - The research aimed to create a deep learning model for accurately assessing the extent of resection (EOR) in glioblastoma patients using postoperative MRI scans, addressing limitations of existing algorithms that only focus on preoperative images.
- - Utilizing data from multiple sources, the model was trained to segment tumor features like contrast-enhancing tumor, edema, and surgical cavity, and was compared with other segmentation models, showing high performance in classifying resection categories.
- - The study found that the nnU-Net framework outperformed other algorithms, achieving high accuracy in both segmentation (with median Dice scores up to 0.81) and EOR classification (96% accuracy in comparisons), making it a valuable tool for clinical use.
Küttner's Tumor and Autoimmune Pancreatitis as Metachronous Manifestations of IgG4-Related Disease.

Article Synopsis
- Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a condition affecting multiple organs, characterized by painless swelling and inflammation, with common sites being the pancreas and salivary glands.
- Diagnosis involves various tests (serological, imaging, histopathological) and primary treatment is with glucocorticoids, which often yields good results.
- A case study highlights a geriatric male incorrectly suspected of pancreatic cancer, who was found to have autoimmune pancreatitis, a type of IgG4-RD, and responded well to steroid treatment.

The globally accepted surgical strategy in glioblastomas is removing the enhancing tumor. However, the peritumoral region harbors infiltration areas responsible for future tumor recurrence. This study aimed to evaluate a predictive model that identifies areas of future recurrence using a voxel-based radiomics analysis of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data.
