Cervical thymic cysts in children: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Cervical thymic cysts are rare benign lesions that rarely considered in the differential diagnosis of neck cysts in children. The correct diagnosis is often made after surgical excision and though determination of the specific histopathological findings of the thymic cyst.

Case Presentation: We report an observation of a cervical thymic cyst erroneously diagnosed preoperatively respectively as a cystic lymphangioma.

An Illustrative Case of Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy and Medullary Cavernoma: Which Should Be Treated First?

Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) and spinal cavernoma (SC) represent distinct yet challenging conditions. CSM manifests as progressive neurological dysfunction, whereas SC denotes a benign vascular lesion. The need for documented cases featuring CSM and SC highlights the absence of evidence-based management guidelines for such scenarios.

Head and Neck Myopericytoma (MPC): A Case Report of Double Synchronous Sinonasal MPC.

Aim: Myopericytoma (MPC) is a rare tumour characterized by a perivascular proliferation of pericytic cells with myoid differentiation and a typical spindle shape. Except for the rare malignant cases, MPC mostly shows a benign course. Symptoms are often non-specific, and the diagnosis could be accidental.

Deep Convolutional Neural Network for Accurate Classification of Myofibroblastic Lesions on Patch-Based Images.

Objective: This study aimed to implement and evaluate a Deep Convolutional Neural Network for classifying myofibroblastic lesions into benign and malignant categories based on patch-based images.

Methods: A Residual Neural Network (ResNet50) model, pre-trained with weights from ImageNet, was fine-tuned to classify a cohort of 20 patients (11 benign and 9 malignant cases). Following annotation of tumor regions, the whole-slide images (WSIs) were fragmented into smaller patches (224 × 224 pixels).

Unraveling Palisaded Encapsulated Neuroma: A Case Report and Diagnostic Challenges.

Palisaded encapsulated neuroma (PEN), also known as solitary circumscribed neuroma, is a rare, benign tumor of neuronal origin, often located on the head or neck. We present a case involving a 77-year-old Middle Eastern woman with a slowly enlarging, slightly symptomatic lesion on her upper lip. Histopathological analysis following a shave biopsy revealed the lesion to be a PEN.

Early-Stage and Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer during Pregnancy: Clinical Presentation, Diagnosis and Treatment.

In this comprehensive review supported by clinical examples, the authors explore the topic of cervical cancer in pregnancy, with emphasis on potential pre-cancer progression, the possibility of coexisting preinvasive and invasive disease, and neoadjuvant chemotherapy. This manuscript addresses the challenges of managing cervical cancer in pregnant women with a pregnancy-preserving approach, including the importance of screening, the timing of surgery, and the impact of pregnancy on the course of the disease. The first case study illustrates the potential for a benign cervical lesion to transform into a malignant one during pregnancy and the possible coexistence of preinvasive lesions together with early-stage cervical cancer.

Management of Giant Thyroid Tumors in Patients with Multiple Comorbidities in a Tertiary Head and Neck Surgery Center.

: The thyroid gland can represent the seat of development for giant tumors exceeding 10 cm in diameter. A retrospective analysis on 21 cases of giant thyroid tumors with comorbidities, operated in the ENT Department of the Bucharest University Emergency Hospital has been conducted. : Giant benign tumors accounted for 28.

Enhanced WGAN Model for Diagnosing Laryngeal Carcinoma.

This study modifies the U-Net architecture for pixel-based segmentation to automatically classify lesions in laryngeal endoscopic images. The advanced U-Net incorporates five-level encoders and decoders, with an autoencoder layer to derive latent vectors representing the image characteristics. To enhance performance, a WGAN was implemented to address common issues such as mode collapse and gradient explosion found in traditional GANs.

A benign tumor of substantial size: Mandibular epithelioid osteoblastoma in a socioeconomically challenged patient.

Epithelioid osteoblastoma (EOB) is a rare, benign bone tumor characterized by the proliferation of atypical epithelioid osteoblasts within a vascular stroma. It typically presents as a slow-growing painful mass and requires careful differentiation from more aggressive lesions like osteosarcoma for appropriate management. We present a case of an otherwise healthy 30-year-old man who presented with a mandibular EOB measuring 23 cm × 17 cm x 19 cm, causing significant disfigurement and functional impairment.

Radiotherapy Combined With Zoledronic Acid for Fibrous Dysplasia With a Central Giant Cell Granuloma: A Case Report.

Background: Giant cell reparative granulomas are nonneoplastic, benign lesions that can expand and dissolve bone. Fibrous dysplasia is a benign condition in which normal bone tissue is replaced by abnormally proliferating immature reticular bone and fibrous tissue. The combination of giant cell reparative granuloma and fibrous dysplasia is extremely rare and can pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges because of the complexity of clinical presentation.

Papillary thyroid carcinoma with a retropharyngeal cystic goitre extending into the pharyngeal mucosal space.

Retropharyngeal goitre extending to the oropharyngeal level is rare. We present a case of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) with a retropharyngeal cystic goitre extending to the uvular level. A woman in her 50s presented with swelling of the neck and dyspnoea.

Abdominal mouse: Floating intra-abdominal cystic lymphatic malformation - An exceedingly rare case report.

Introduction And Importance: Lymphangiomas are rare benign lymphatic malformations, typically affecting the head, neck, or axillary regions, with abdominal cystic lymphatic malformations (CLM) being particularly uncommon in adults. Abdominal CLM account for less than 5 % of all lymphangiomas and 7 % of all abdominal cystic lesions in adults with a prevalence of approximately 1 in 250,000. These lesions are commonly found by accident during imaging investigations and are asymptomatic.

Ultrasonography-Guided Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology Versus Histopathology: Diagnostic Consistency in Salivary Gland Neoplasms.

Introduction Salivary gland lesions include a diverse range of histological types and biological behaviors, making accurate diagnosis and effective treatment challenging for specialists. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) plays a significant role in making preoperative diagnoses and further plans of surgery. In differentiating malignant from benign salivary gland tumors, the diagnostic accuracy of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is high.

Cutting the Gordian Knot: Rare Presentation of Nodular Fasciitis as Supraclavicular Swelling with Muscular Involvement in Ga-FAPI-PET/CT.

Nodular fasciitis is a benign, singularly occurring nodular fibroblastic/myofibroblastic neoplasia. Due to the rapid growth and cellular atypia, this rare differential diagnosis in the head and neck region can be mistaken for malignant sarcomas. We present a 40-year-old female patient with an unclear, rough, and poorly displaceable supraclavicular swelling on the right as part of a medical check-up.
