Over the past decade, a series of rare and extraordinary uterine tumors have been discovered, with some featuring exceptionally uncommon tumor types. This highlights the growing recognition of these rare tumors due to evolutionary radiologic advancements. However, evaluating these patients requires adequate understanding to avoid misinterpretation and potential confusion with alternative differential diagnoses. This case is the first documented instance of two coexistent uterine benign tumors in a 45-year-old unmarried female patient. The patient's medical, gynecological, and surgical histories were unremarkable. Conventional abdominopelvic imaging via computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed significant uterine expansion, indicating an atypical leiomyomatous or potentially leiomyosarcomatous mass. Subsequently, [F]fluorodeoxyglucose ([F]FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT revealed hypermetabolic uterine enlargement, suggesting further evaluation. The patient underwent radical hysterectomy, and histopathological analysis revealed multiple uterine fibroids concurrently existing against the uterine angiomatosis. This case is the first documented instance of intricate pathological interplay within the uterus.

Ablepharon macrostomia syndrome is a rare congenital disorder caused by autosomal-dominant mutations. This condition is characterized by redundant skin, low-set ears, macrostomia, ambiguous genitalia, and underdevelopment of the both upper and lower eyelids. The shortening of the anterior lamella, septum and levator aponeurosis lead to a severe corneal exposure within the first hours of life.

Objective: Traditional medicine (TM) has played a key role in the health care system of East Asian countries, including China, Japan and South Korea. This bibliometric study analyzes the recent research status of these three TMs, including traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), traditional Korean medicine (TKM), and Kampo medicine (KM).
Methods: Research topics of studies published for recent 10 years (2014 to 2023), through a search on MEDLINE via PubMed, was analyzed.

Purpose: An atypical presentation of cervical spondylopathy (CS), trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is attributable to the extension of trigeminal nuclei into the spinal cord and is frequently overlooked, leading to limited discussion with patients regarding potential anterior cervical surgery. Our systematic review assesses the effectiveness of cervical surgery for concurrent trigeminal neuralgia in cases of cervical spondylopathy.
Methods: A systematic review exploring cases of trigeminal neuralgia related to cervical spondylopathy was conducted searching on PubMed, Scopus and Embase databases for article in English.

We present the case of a 64-year-old man who, during the implantation of an active-fixation leadless pacemaker (LP, Aveir VR, Abbott, USA), underwent several external defibrillation shocks up to 240 Joules, due to symptomatic sustained supraventricular tachycardia at 160 bpm. The shocks, delivered both before and after the screwing of the device in the low interventricular septum, did not cause any technical damage to the device, and no complications were observed. The device was then deployed successfully.
