Diseases of mesentery and greater omentum are commonly the result of lymph node metastases from an abdominal carcinoma, or lymph node involvement as part of a general lymphatic malignancy. Primary tumours are rare. Cysts occur predominantly in children. In addition, one may find mesenchymal benign or malignant tumours, which produce clinical symptoms at a later age. Plain abdominal films, barium meals and angiograms fail to show evidence of a space-occupying lesion, or produce only indirect signs. Only ultrasound or CT can demonstrate these tumours directly.

To investigate and compare the clinical efficacy and prognosis of D3 lymphadenectomy/complete mesocolic excision in treatment of right colon cancer with different medial boundaries. We searched The Cochrane Library, Pubmed, Embase, CBM, VIP, CNKI, and WanFang data bases for superior mesenteric artery (SMA)-oriented and superior mesenteric vein (SMV)-oriented D3 lymphadenectomy/complete mesocolic excision from inception to December, 2023. The resultant data were submitted to meta-analysis using RevMan 5.

Parasitic myoma is a relatively rare disease in which one or more leiomyomas form outside the uterus; however, the detailed causes are unknown. Few sporadic reports are available, and per our research, the maximum number of parasitic myomas reported to date was 26, and almost all cases were treated by surgical resection. We report a rare case of numerous parasitic myomas in the abdominal cavity, possibly including an intrathoracic lesion, which could not be resected completely.

Rationale: Schwannomas are common peripheral nerve tumors originating from Schwann cells, primarily occurring in the head and neck, limbs, and trunk. Schwannomas occurring in the mesocolon are rare and often have no specific manifestations. Abdominal schwannomas need to be differentiated from common abdominal tumors such as gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

Article Synopsis
  • Current treatments for oligometastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) mainly involve systemic chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors, but there's a need for better methods due to common recurrences.* -
  • The first case using the Ethos OART platform for delivering targeted radiotherapy was presented, involving a 67-year-old man with stage IV NSCLC and multiple metastatic sites.* -
  • The treatment utilized advanced planning techniques and adaptive strategies, resulting in over 80% tumor shrinkage and highlighting the potential benefits of this approach, though further research is necessary to establish its safety and efficacy.*
