Desmoid tumours are rare benign tumours that show locally aggressive and invasive features leading to potential complications. They can be quite challenging for the treating surgeon if they occur adjacent to neurovascular structures. The aetiology of these tumours is still unclear, but the incidence is higher in females and in patients with a history of trauma or surgical procedures, raising the possibility of genetic and hormonal factors as well as post-traumatic or post-operative inflammatory changes promoting the formation of desmoid fibromatosis.

Background/aim: The role of lenvatinib as neoadjuvant chemotherapy for patients with advanced thyroid cancer has not been firmly established. In some cases, surgery may be considered when lenvatinib treatment becomes challenging to continue.
Case Report: We present four cases of unresectable thyroid cancer diagnosed histologically as papillary carcinoma.
Introduction During carotid artery stenting (CAS), safe navigation of the guiding catheter (GC) is essential for the success of procedures. However, in cases where stenosis or floating thrombi are located in the common carotid artery (CCA), especially for proximal lesions, advancing the GC without touching the lesions is often difficult. We describe a preliminary experience of the "no-touch" technique for navigating the GC to the CCA using an inner catheter with a specifically designed shape and stiffness optimized to overcome tortuous anatomy.

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk calculators estimate the 10-year incident risk of myocardial infarction (MI), coronary artery disease (CAD) death, or stroke; however, they lack comprehensiveness and accuracy. Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is a surrogate marker that may improve risk estimation acumen. The objective of this study was to derive ASCVD risk scores from historical data and determine whether these risk scores are associated with the history of subclinical CAD and CIMT.

Objective: The objective of this study was to discuss the characteristics of intracranial extension in patients with juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) and propose and an algorithm for its management.
Methods: A retrospective chart review of all patients with JNA who underwent operations between January 2013 and January 2023 was done, and those cases with intracranial extension categorized as stage IIIb, IVa, and IVb according to the Andrews modification of the Fisch staging classification were included in the study. Data were collected about age at presentation, symptoms, radiological findings, routes of intracranial extension, therapeutic management, and follow-up.
