Recurrent hemorrhagic pleural effusion presents as a challenge for both the clinician and the patient, with common causes being tuberculosis, malignancy, and collagen vascular diseases. Among uncommon causes of recurrent …
To address the urgent need for non-invasive diagnosis of endometriosis, this study developed a novel microfluidic platform utilizing a three-dimensional (3D) polydimethylsiloxane scaffold microchip to efficiently capture circulating endometrial cells …
Subepithelial lesions (SELs) in the lower gastrointestinal tract are rare, and diagnosis and treatment of colorectal SELs are often challenging. Although endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition (EUS-TA) is useful for minimally …
BackgroundMesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA) is a rare type of Müllerian carcinoma that poses significant diagnostic challenges, especially at extrauterine sites. Its morphologic and immunophenotypic overlap with other carcinomas can lead to …
Endometriosis is characterized by enhanced cellular proliferation, migration, and resistance to apoptosis, contributing to lesion persistence and progression. Targeting cellular plasticity and mesenchymal-associated functions may therefore represent a promising therapeutic …
Diaphragmatic endometriosis is a rare and often underrecognized manifestation of extrapelvic endometriosis that may lead to severe complications such as diaphragmatic rupture or herniation. We report the case of a …
Endometriosis is defined as endometrial tissue outside of the uterus. It is a debilitating, complex, and underdiagnosed condition, impacting approximately 10%-15% of reproductive-aged women worldwide. Endometriosis is associated with chronic …
Endometriosis is a benign, estrogen-dependent condition affecting 6%-10% of women of reproductive age, typically involving pelvic organs but occasionally presenting in extrapelvic locations such as the umbilicus. We report a …
A woman in her seventies presented with mucous hematochezia. Colonoscopy revealed a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma in the upper rectum. Immunohistochemical staining showed CK7 positivity and CK20/CDX2 negativity, findings atypical for …
The AFF2 gene encodes a protein involved in transcriptional regulation and chromatin remodeling. While primarily associated with Fragile X syndrome, AFF2 fusions have recently been identified in certain malignancies, mostly …
