Incidental detection of polysplenia associated with situs inversus totalis in an adult is rarely reported in literature.12 "Heterotaxy" refers to a wide spectrum of anomalies involving dysmorphism of thoracoabdominal organs across the right-left axis of the body. Polysplenia is observed in left isomerism along with bilateral bilobed bronchi and bilateral morphologic left atria. However, in this case, polysplenia was present without isomerism.

Urachal cystadenocarcinoma (UC) is a rare but highly aggressive subtype of bladder cancer. While most localized cases of UC are asymptomatic, occasionally, patients present with nonspecific lower urinary tract symptoms. Unfortunately, most cases are not detected until advanced disease is present.

Background: Heterotaxy syndrome is a rare congenital condition characterized by abnormal arrangement of thoracoabdominal organs, often associated with complex cardiac and splenic anomalies. Pheochromocytoma is a rare neuroendocrine tumor that overproduces catecholamines, leading to various complications. The co-occurrence of heterotaxy syndrome and pheochromocytoma has not been previously reported.

Acute appendicitis is a common surgical emergency that can be challenging to diagnose due to its varied clinical presentations. Standard imaging methods include ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), and Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), but fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18 F-FDG PET/CT), typically used for oncology, can incidentally detect appendicitis through increased radiotracer uptake associated with inflammation. The paper discusses two cases where acute appendicitis was identified during PET/CT scans conducted for cancer evaluations.

The presence of ectodermal adnexal structures in the uterine cervix, including sebaceous glands, hair follicles, and sweat glands, has been well documented in the literature. In theory, there exists the possibility of developing cutaneous-type lesions from the ectopic ectodermal structures in this location. Here we report the first case of cervical hair follicle-derived proliferations reminiscent of trichoadenoma, trichoepithelioma, and trichoblastoma (TA/TE/TB) in a 52-year-old woman who underwent a prophylactic hysterectomy due to a germline microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) gene mutation.

Female adnexal tumor of presumed Wolffian origin (FATWO) is a rare gynecologic neoplasm favored to arise from mesonephric (Wolffian) remnants. Although most tumors are benign, rare recurrences have been reported. Herein, we present a case of a 65-year-old female with incidental peritoneal lesions detected on routine ultrasound that morphologically and immunohistochemically were diagnostic of FATWO.
