A right-renal angiomyolipoma with tumour thrombus into the inferior vena cava was incidentally detected. This is the ninth published case of its type and the second incidental case. Presence of a thrombus does not imply invasive disease, but the tumour then is often bigger than 6 cm and radical surgery is mandatory.

An Unusual Case of Intraosseous Desmoplastic Fibroblastoma (Collagenous Fibroma) of the Mandible.

Desmoplastic fibroblastoma (collagenous fibroma) is a rare, benign fibroblastic/myofibroblastic tumor that usually arises in the subcutaneous and intramuscular tissues. This tumor type has rarely been described to arise primarily in bones. This is a case of intraosseous desmoplastic fibroblastoma occurring in the mandible of a 35-year-old woman that was detected incidentally during a routine dental examination.

Background: Local recurrence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) occurs in 10%-20% of patients, with salvage potential in early recurrences. Yet, clear surveillance protocols are lacking. We compare survival outcomes and suitability for salvage in symptomatic and incidentally detected locally recurrent NPC.

Purpose: Neuroendocrine neoplasms of the appendix (aNET) are rare tumors that are often diagnosed by pathology as an incidental finding after appendectomy for acute appendicitis. Several guidelines proposed risk criteria to indicate oncological completion surgery after appendectomy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability of proposed criteria for completion surgery of aNET.

Purpose: Silent brain infarcts, sometimes appearing as incidental lacunes in patients with unknown history of vascular event, are linked to dementia, gait disturbances and depression. We observed that some cavitating lacunes were only visible on b0-diffusion-weighted-imaging (b0-DWI: T2-weighted without diffusion gradients) when T2-weighted-spin-echo (T2-SE) was unavailable. We aimed to evaluate the additional value of b0-DWI in detecting cavitating lacunes.

Background: Recently, several devices exploiting the near-infrared autofluorescence (NIR-AF) of parathyroid glands (PGs) have been developed. Nevertheless, their impact on both preserving PGs from inadvertent surgical dissection and on post-surgical hypoparathyroidism (hypoPTH) is controversial.

Methods: A retrospective study of 845 patients undergoing thyroid surgery in 2 academic tertiary centres was conducted.
