Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) is a type of malignant salivary gland tumors that is extremely rare. EMC primarily affects major salivary glands, particularly the parotid gland, but minorsalivary glands are also affected. It contributes less than 0.5-1% of all salivary gland neoplasms. Multiple recurrences are relatively rare with EMC. There have been very few reports of multiplerecurrences in the literature. Biphasic tubular structures composed of externalclear cells and inner ductal cells are the distinguishing histopathological feature. However, histological variation is prevalent, making a precise diagnosis challenging. We present a case of EMC that had multiple recurrences during a six-year period.

A 26-year-old male presented to a hospital with complaints of hemoptysis and right scrotal swelling. Computed tomography (CT) revealed right testicular swelling, multiple lung metastases, and small intestinal wall thickening. The patient's β-human chorionic gonadotropin, alpha-fetoprotein, lactate dehydrogenase, and hemoglobin levels were 103.

In calcium stone formers, most stones grow attached to Randall's plaque, which can be identified by measuring the computed tomography (CT) attenuation value of renal papilla. We hypothesized that the CT attenuation value of renal papilla can predict the severity (recurrent or multiple stone former) and recurrence of the stone disease. We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 180 calcium oxalate stone formers who underwent non-contrast CT and 24-hour urine chemistry in our hospital between September 2012 and November 2021.

Background: The cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS) is a rare autosomal dominant hereditary inflammatory disease clinically characterized by three overlapping types and associated with interleukin (IL)-1β.We reported a rare case of CAPS in a patient with accompanying symptoms such as growth retardation and urticaria-like rash. These clinical manifestations were caused by mutations in the NALP3 gene.

Radiotherapy, employing high-energy rays to precisely target and eradicate tumor cells, plays a pivotal role in the treatment of various malignancies. Despite its therapeutic potential, the effectiveness of radiotherapy is hindered by the tumor's inherent low radiosensitivity and the immunosuppressive microenvironment. Here we present an innovative approach that integrates peroxynitrite (ONOO)-mediated radiosensitization with the tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) polarization for the reversal of immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), greatly amplifying the potency of radiotherapy.
