AI Article Synopsis
- An enteric duplication cyst (EDC) is a rare birth defect that can form anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract but is mostly found in the ileum, with only 5-7% occurring in the gastroduodenal region.
- The case described involves a 3-hour-old male baby who had a cystic mass detected through prenatal and postnatal ultrasound, indicating a possible trilaminar wall structure.
- Surgery confirmed the diagnosis of a pyloric duplication cyst, which was successfully removed, and the patient is recovering well with normal weight gain during follow-up visits.
Article Abstract
An enteric duplication cyst (EDC) is a rare congenital anomaly. Although EDCs can occur at any point throughout the gastrointestinal tract, they are most commonly reported in the ileum and only around 5-7% are of gastroduodenal origin. We report a case of a pyloric duplication cyst in a 3 hour old male with prenatal ultrasound showing a cystic mass. The patient had an abdominal ultrasound after birth that showed a mass with probable trilaminar wall. The diagnosis of pyloric duplication cyst was made in surgery and confirmed with histopathologic examination following resection. The patient is doing well with appropriate weight gain at follow-up appointments.

To investigate the clinicopathological and genetic features of infantile rhabdomyofibrosarcoma (IRFS) with EGFR kinase domain duplication (EGFR-KDD). The clinical, morphological and immunohistochemical features of three IRFS with EGFR-KDD diagnosed from January 2022 to January 2024 at Department of Pathology, Foshan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Foshan, China were retrospectively analyzed using PCR or next generation sequencing technique; and related literature was reviewed. There were 1 male and 2 females, aged at presentation ranging from 1 to 4 years.

This study characterizes the evolution of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily (TNFSF) across vertebrate lineages, both cyclostomes and gnathostomes, by combining sequence similarity and synteny data for the genes from 23 model species. The available evidence supports a simple model in which most of the diversity found in living species can be attributed to the expansion of four genes found in an ancestor of all vertebrates before the first of the genome duplications that occurred in the vertebrate lineages. It is inferred that the ancestor of all cyclostomes possessed only six TNFSF genes.

Background: Low-grade mucinous neoplasms typically originate from the appendix and are characterized by a lining of low-grade mucus-secreting columnar epithelial cells and smooth muscle. However, atypical origins can occur, as demonstrated in this case report.
Case Presentation: We present a case involving a 33-year-old male who, upon physical examination, was found to have an abdominal mass.
A scoping review of postoperative surveillance strategies for localized, low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms.

Introduction: There is a paucity of data to support surveillance protocols for localized, low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (LAMNs) after resection.
Methods: A search strategy was developed to identify postoperative surveillance strategies for LAMNs, in the context of rates of recurrence and disease-free survival, and applied to four literature databases. Resultant citations were subject to screening in duplicate, in three stages: title, abstract, and full-text.
Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) infections following intravesical BCG immunotherapy: a systematic review protocol.

Background: Although intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) immunotherapy usually exhibits a favorable safety profile, it can lead to the development of BCG infections, both localized and disseminated. Understanding of BCG infections following intravesical BCG immunotherapy is limited because of the lack of consensus definitions of BCG infections and limited post-instillation follow-up. We aim to perform a systematic review of the literature of BCG infections following intravesical BCG immunotherapy to elucidate the epidemiology, risk factors, and outcomes of BCG infections.
