Ophthalmology, Madigan Army Medical Center, Tacoma, Washington, USA.
Oncocytoma is a rare benign neoplasm of the glandular tissue, most commonly found in the caruncle of the eye. These lesions have an excellent prognosis and have not been reported to recur after resection from the caruncle. Given the wide range of differentials and potential for malignancy, excision and histopathological examination are recommended to establish the diagnosis and guide proper treatment.

Department of Surgery, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ. Electronic address:
Background: Clinicians lack robust data on quality of life and social functioning after pancreatectomy limiting their ability guide patient decision-making aligned with patients' goals of care.
Methods: In this cross-sectional survey study, we administered the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Core Quality of Life questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30); pancreas-specific QLQ-PAN26; Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS™) Ability to Participate in Social Roles; and PROMIS™ Activities and social Isolation scales to all elective pancreatectomies (2021-2023). Results were compared to both normative data and between groups to determine factors predicting better QOL with a >10-12-point change considered clinically significant.
Thermal ablation versus surgical resection of small-size colorectal liver metastases (COLLISION): an international, randomised, controlled, phase 3 non-inferiority trial.
Lancet Oncol
January 2025
Department of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, Amsterdam UMC location VUmc, Amsterdam, Netherlands. Electronic address:
Background: For patients with small-size colorectal liver metastases, growing evidence suggests thermal ablation to be associated with fewer adverse events and faster recovery than resection while also challenging resection in terms of local control and overall survival. This study assessed the potential non-inferiority of thermal ablation compared with surgical resection in patients with small-size resectable colorectal liver metastases.
Methods: Adult patients (aged ≥18 years) from 14 centres in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Italy with ten or fewer small-size (≤3 cm) colorectal liver metastases, no extrahepatic metastases, and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-2, were stratified per centre, and according to their disease burden, into low, intermediate, and high disease burden subgroups and randomly assigned 1:1 to receive either thermal ablation (experimental group) or surgical resection (control group) of all target colorectal liver metastases using the web-based module Castor electronic data capture with variable block sizes of 4, 6, and 8.
Successfully enucleation of a rare pancreatic schwannoma: A case report.
Int J Surg Case Rep

Department of General Surgery, Hospital Mohamed Taher Maamouri, Nabeul, Tunisia.
Introduction And Importance: Pancreatic schwannoma (PS) is an extremely rare benign tumor also known as neurilemoma or neuroma. The majority of PS develop cystic lesions, and its preoperative diagnosis is challenging due to its tendency to mimic other lesions of the pancreas. Herein, we reported a case of body PS incidentally discovered in an 81-year-old male, which was successfully treated through enucleation.
