We herein report a fatal case of invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma (IMA) with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) diagnosed based on autopsy findings. A 76-year-old man presented with severe respiratory discomfort on admission. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a peripheral distribution of consolidation. Although his respiratory status improved after steroid therapy, re-exacerbation occurred, and the patient died on day 131. A bronchoscopic lung biopsy had shown organizing pneumonia, but a post-mortem examination surprisingly revealed IMA with organizing pneumonia. IMA presenting with ARDS as the first symptom is extremely rare.

Background: Robot-assisted thoracic surgery has been shown to have several advantages over conventional surgery. As mobile communication technology and surgical robotic devices in China continue to progress rapidly, the conditions for performing remote surgery have been optimized. Consequently, informatized and remote advanced medical cooperation is becoming a new direction for supporting the medical development of border regions and promoting the equitable distribution of medical resources in China.

Introduction: Mucinous ovarian cancer (MOC) is a rare subtype of epithelial ovarian carcinoma, comprising 3-5 % of all ovarian cancer cases. It typically affects women aged 20 to 50 years and is often diagnosed at an early stage, with most patients presenting with early-stage disease. However, giant mucinous cystadenocarcinomas are extremely rare and pose significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Bladder invasion by appendiceal cancer resulting in a vesico-appendiceal fistula is an uncommon occurrence. Both radical tumor removal and functional preservation of the bladder are desirable in the surgical treatment of this disease, and there are few reports on detailed surgical methods. Here, we describe a case of primary appendiceal mucinous carcinoma with bladder invasion treated with robotic laparoscopy and endoscopy cooperative surgery (RECS).

Introduction: Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP) has the advantages of reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and a better postoperative quality of life compared with open distal pancreatectomy (ODP). Meanwhile, spleen-preserving laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy is the preferred technique for low-grade malignant and benign tumors located in pancreatic body and tail, since it preserves the immune function of the spleen. The splenic-vessel-preserving (SVP) Kimura technique and splenic vessel resection Warshaw technique are the two primary procedures.

Background: Metastatic colon cancer (MCC) is a debilitating condition with a poor prognosis. Currently, there is limited data that investigates MCC in relation to mismatch repair (MMR) status. The aims of this study are to compare sociodemographic and clinicopathologic features and mortality between patients with MMR-proficient (MMR-P) and MMR-deficient (MMR-D) MCC.
