    Abstract A woman in her 40s presented with a 3-month history of lower abdominal pain and intermenstrual bleeding. Ultrasound of the pelvis disclosed a 4 cm left adnexal mass. An MRI of the pelvis revealed a 2.2×3.6×2.4 cm solid, enhancing left ovarian mass. Due to high suspicion for malignancy, she underwent laparoscopic left salpingo-oophorectomy and resection of the tumour. Histopathology revealed papillary thyroid carcinoma in the background of struma ovarii as confirmed by thyroglobulin and thyroid transcription factor-1 positivity on immunohistochemistry. BRAF mutation analysis was negative. An ultrasound of the thyroid gland showed two low-risk nodules. An iodine-123 whole-body scan showed normal uptake in the thyroid gland. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) was 1.070 mcIU/mL (0.450-4.500), and thyroglobulin was 6.8 ng/mL (1.5-38.5). We risk-stratified this patient as low risk for recurrence. Risk stratification of malignant struma ovarii is essential to determine suitable thyroid targeting adjuvant therapy and reduce the risk of recurrence.

    Abstract A tonsillar mass in a young patient with no medical issues routinely presents as an infectious process. Practitioners must maintain a broad differential if diagnostic testing does not support an infection. Neoplasm must be excluded. Otolaryngologists must consider malignancies other than squamous cell carcinoma, the most common oropharyngeal malignancy, and lymphoma. Rare tumors, such as sarcomas, must also be considered. Otolaryngologists must be familiar with the proper management of rare oropharyngeal malignancies.

    Abstract Case presentation: A 62-year-old White man with a history of orthotopic liver transplantation 16 years ago for alcoholic liver cirrhosis on chronic immunosuppression and recurrent decompensated cirrhosis of his graft liver complicated by ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, and esophageal varices presented to the hospital with altered mental status. Over the last few weeks, he had reduced frequency of bowel movements and subsequently developed altered sensorium 3 days before presentation. On arrival to the hospital, he was disoriented and had asterixis consistent with hepatic encephalopathy. He was not in respiratory distress, he was saturating well on room air, and his lungs were clear to auscultation bilaterally. Plain chest radiograph showed multiple ill-defined bilateral airspace opacities. A CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis done on admission incidentally showed bilateral pulmonary nodules with surrounding ground-glass halo in the lower lung zones. Given these findings, a dedicated CT scan of his chest was performed that showed numerous bilateral randomly distributed nodular airspace opacities, many with a central solid component and surrounding ground-glass halo. Antifungal therapy was initiated empirically. Serum aspergillus antigen and 1,3 beta D-glucan were negative. He subsequently underwent a bronchoscopy with BAL and transbronchial biopsy. BAL fluid was negative for bacterial, fungal, and acid-fast bacilli cultures. Pathology from the transbronchial biopsy showed atypical epithelioid cells in intravascular spaces.

    Abstract Background: Pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma is a rare tumor from neuroendocrine cells. 1/3
    Case: 32-year-old male with incidental liver mass during laparoscopy for acute appendicitis. His symptoms included abdominal pain and profuse axillary hyperhidrosis. MRI showed an 11x12x14 cm cystic and solid mass in right adrenal gland, and 3.4x2.9x3.8 cm mass in porta hepatis. Urine metanephrines was elevated. After preoperative alpha-blockade, patient underwent total right adrenalectomy. Pathology report confirmed diagnosis of pheochromocytoma. According to the Grading system for Adrenal Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma (GAPP), tumor's score was 9, indicating poorly differentiated tumor. Ki67 index 5% and S100 were negative. Postoperatively, plasma free metanephrines normalized but plasma free normetanephrines remained elevated. Based on this biochemical profile, presence of paraganglioma was suspected. CT showed 4.2x3.5 cm round soft tissue mass in porta hepatis which increased in size from previous MRI. Simultaneously, PET scan identified a 1.5 cm thyroid mass. Calcitonin level was normal. Fine-needle aspiration was consistent with PTC. Resection of the mass and total thyroidectomy were performed with confirmation of paraganglioma S100 positive and PTC. Normetanephrines decreased to 283 (<148 pg/mL); free metanephrines remained normal. Gene mutation of EGLN1, FH, KIF1B, MEN1, NF1, RET, SDHAF2, SDHC, SDHD, TMEM127, VHL, and SDHA was negative.
    Conclusion: Whether paraganglioma/pheochromocytoma/PTC combination is coincidental or resulted from an underlying unknown mutation cannot be excluded.

    Abstract Biphasic pulmonary blastoma is a rare but lethal type of lung malignancy with characteristic histology of both epithelial and mesenchymal components. Previously reported cases have been limited to presentation at advanced stages, suggesting that the clinical course of the disease is usually aggressive. Here, we report a case of incidental diagnosis of biphasic pulmonary blastoma by imaging surveillance in a patient previously treated for adenocarcinoma of the lung. The patient was diagnosed with stage 1 disease and underwent successful resection. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) revealed a high mutation burden, a finding not previously reported in a patient with biphasic pulmonary blastoma.

    Abstract Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) is a low grade tumor that comprises 1% of all salivary tumors. Local recurrence is not uncommon, but rarely does this tumor demonstrate distant metastasis. We describe a case of a 53-year old female presenting with an asymptomatic, slowly enlarging left submandibular neck mass. Excision of the left submandibular gland (SMG) revealed epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma with extensive perineural invasion and microscopically positive margins. A subsequent left supraomohyoid neck dissection demonstrated no residual tumor. The patient was stable for one year until a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) workup for low back pain revealed multiple sclerotic lesions in the iliac crest and lumbar spine, with an iliac crest biopsy demonstrating metastasis. 2.5 year post-operative positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) revealed increased [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) avidity in the right iliac crest, pubic symphysis, thoracic and lumbar spine, 9th rib, and sternum concerning for local recurrence and further osseous metastasis. We report the first known case of a submandibular gland EMC with osseous metastasis and highlight the need for prolonged tumor surveillance.

    Abstract Beta-catenin is involved in intercellular adhesion and participates in the Wnt signaling pathway. This study evaluated the expression pattern and prognostic value of β-catenin in a series of endometrial carcinoma patients. Immunohistochemical analyses were used to assess the expression and subcellular localization of β-catenin from tissue sections of 74 patients with endometrial carcinoma. No correlation was found between beta-catenin expression and clinicopathological parameters. Patients expressing nuclear β-catenin (

    Abstract Objective: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is characterized by damage to the blood-brain barrier, inflammation, and edema formation. In this pilot study, we aimed to investigate the effects of a complement inhibitor, C1-esterase inhibitor (C1 INH), on brain edema and inflammation in a rat model of mild TBI.
    Methods: Thirty-six male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly assigned to control, TBI, or TBI plus C1 INH groups. TBI and TBI plus C1 INH rats received an injection of saline or 25 IU/kg C1 INH, respectively, with TBI using a weight drop model. Control rats received saline only. Rats were subsequently euthanized and their brain tissue harvested for analysis. The primary outcome was the extent of edema as assessed by the brain's water content. Secondary outcomes included enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays to determine levels of pro-inflammatory mediators.
    Results: Tumor necrosis factor-α levels were significantly greater in TBI rats than control rats, indicating that inflammation was generated by the weight drop impact. Brain water content following TBI was significantly different between TBI rats treated with C1-INH (78.7%±0.12), untreated TBI rats (79.3%±0.12), and control rats (78.6%±0.15, P=0.001). There was a significant decrease in C3a and interleukin 2 levels among C1 INH-treated rats compared with untreated TBI rats, but no change in levels of tumor necrosis factor-α and S100β.
    Conclusion: C1-INH inhibited the complement pathway, suggesting that C1-INH may have a therapeutic benefit in TBI. Further studies are needed to investigate the effect of C1-INH on clinical outcomes.
