Borderline serous tumor (BST), earlier known as atypical proliferative serous tumor, is an ovarian neoplasm of low malignant potential. Extraovarian spread in the form of peritoneal implants is common in these tumors; however, lymph node (LN) involvement is infrequent. The prognostic implication of LN involvement in BST is controversial. We present a case of a 25-year-old female presenting with dull-aching abdominal pain in the left iliac fossa for the past 3 years, which was associated with constipation and abdominal bloating. Her serum Cancer antigen 125 (CA125) level was 841.3 units/ml. Pelvic ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a large well-defined, solid-cystic, abdominopelvic mass arising from the right ovary, measuring 21×18×10 cm. The left ovary was also solid-cystic and measured 7×4×3 cm. A provisional clinico-radiologic diagnosis of ovarian malignancy was rendered. The patient underwent bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy with omentectomy and right-sided pelvic and para-aortic lymph node dissection. Histopathology revealed bilateral ovarian BST with involvement of pelvic and para-aortic lymph nodes. This was followed by adjuvant chemotherapy (in view of stage IIIA). She is disease-free at 3 years of regular follow-up. The prognosis and management of BST with LN is not yet fully elucidated. Nevertheless, the finding of such an involvement mandates thorough sampling of the primary ovarian tumor to exclude a possibility of low-grade serous carcinoma with LN metastasis.

Immune-mediated bone regeneration driven by bone biomaterials offers a therapeutic strategy for repairing bone defects. Among 2D nanomaterials, TiCT MXenes have garnered substantial attention for their potential in tissue regeneration. This investigation concentrates on the role of MXene nanocomposites in modulating the immune microenvironment within bone defects to facilitate bone tissue restoration.

Objectives: To assess the usefulness of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in patients with early-stage oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
Materials And Methods: Seventy-five patients (mean age 62 years) diagnosed with cT1-2 N0 underwent SLNB with Tc, lymphoscintigraphy/SPECT-CT, and gamma probe detection with intraoperative histological examination of the resected sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs). Elective neck dissection was performed during the same surgical procedure of primary tumor resection when malignant deposits were detected microscopically.

This study systematically explores the oncogenic role of the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) LINC00115 in endometrial cancer (EC) and reveals its unique mechanism in promoting proliferation, invasion, and metastasis via the JAK/STAT signaling pathway. LINC00115 is significantly upregulated in EC tissues and closely associated with advanced TNM staging and lymph node metastasis. Functional assays showed that knockdown of LINC00115 suppressed EC cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis, while overexpression enhanced these malignant behaviors.

Background: Malignant transformation (MT) of mature cystic teratoma (MCT) has a poor prognosis, especially in advanced cases. Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) has an inhibitory effect on MT.
Case Summary: Herein, we present a case in which CCRT had a reduction effect preoperatively.
