Remarkably, surgical biopsies found no cancer cells in the lesion site and postoperative pathology showed complete pathological remission (pCR).
We reported a case of PPLELC that is sensitive to neoadjuvant treatment, showing excellent effectiveness and safety and achieving pCR.

Pheochromocytoma (PHEO)-related cardiomyopathy is a rare condition in which release of a large amount of catecholamines leads to severe vasoconstriction, coronary vasospasm, myocardial ischemia, injury, and necrosis. Its clinical manifestations can be similar to those of acute coronary syndrome.
A 63-year-old woman was diagnosed with acute non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction following chest pain for 8 hours. The results of coronary angiography were normal. The patient developed dyspnea, cough with frothy pink sputum, paroxysmal sweating, arrhythmia, and blood pressure fluctuation, and was transferred to the intensive care unit for monitoring and treatment.
PHEO, catecholamine cardiomyopathy (CICMP).
After monitoring the pulse index continuous cardiac output and treatment with α and β adrenergic receptor blockers for 18 days, laparoscopic resection of the left adrenal mass was performed.
The patient's condition improved and she was discharged 31 days after admission. Outpatient follow-up examinations 1 month and 1 year later did not show recurrence.
PHEO can cause CICMP, the manifestations of which are partly similar to those of takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC). Once the patient's condition stabilizes, surgery should be considered. Fluid management is necessary, and agents such as α and β adrenergic receptor blockers should be administered.

Breast tubular carcinoma (TC) is a well-differentiated infiltrating ductal carcinoma, common in postmenopausal women.
Two patients concerned their abnormality of their breasts, one at deep parasternal higher chest wall in a 74-year-old female and the other behind the nipple in a 39- year-old female.
These masses were detected by mammography, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/stemRegenin-1.html The parasternal mass identified by mammography showed long spicules along the edges of the mass. Ultrasound examination revealed that these masses had solid irregular hypoechoic nodules. The color Doppler ultrasound of the retro-nipple mass presented with increased blood flow resistance index. The dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI examination of the retro-nipple nodule demonstrated an intensely enhancing mass with a plateau-type time-signal intensity curve.
Two cases were surgically removed by local resection of foci under ultrasound guidance.
These imaging examinations strongly suggest possible breast tubular carcinoma, which was confirmed by the pathological evaluation of frozen sections from surgically removed masses.
Although uncommon, breast tubular carcinoma may be considered in the differential diagnosis of small solid masses with long spicules at parasternal breast or behind the nipples in adult women.

Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune enteropathy triggered by ingestion of gluten present in wheat, barley, and rye. Gluten along with environmental trigger starts an inflammatory reaction which results in damage to small intestine. Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQA1∗05, -DQB1∗02, and -DQB1∗0302 are the known risk alleles of CD. The diagnostic method for CD involves serological or intestinal biopsy, but genetic test could be implemented. HLA typing precludes the need for further diagnosis and it has high negative predictive value. The aim of this study was to make aware of HLA molecular typing for celiac disease among local laboratories and healthcare professionals. The prevalence and frequency distribution of HLA-DQ2 and -DQ8 haplotypes in 175 pediatric unrelated healthy controls, celiac patients, and CD with concurrent diabetes mellitus type 1 (DM1) was evaluated. The most common haplotype was DQ2 followed by DQ8. In control group only DQ2 was observed with frequency of 8.5%. In celiac patients 85.7% werewas to make aware of HLA molecular typing for celiac disease among local laboratories and healthcare professionals. The prevalence and frequency distribution of HLA-DQ2 and -DQ8 haplotypes in 175 pediatric unrelated healthy controls, celiac patients, and CD with concurrent diabetes mellitus type 1 (DM1) was evaluated. The most common haplotype was DQ2 followed by DQ8. In control group only DQ2 was observed with frequency of 8.5%. In celiac patients 85.7% were DQ2, 11.4% were DQ8, and rest were DQ2/DQ8 (2.8%), and all had CD. In the group of CD with DM1, 31.4% had DQ2, 25% had DQ8, and 34% having both the haplotypes; while only 9 of these patients were suffering from CD. It was concluded that Celiac disease is frequently unrecognized by physicians, in part because of its variable clinical presentation and symptoms. Thus genetic testing for celiac disease could be an additive tool for diagnosis to exclude ambiguity.
Currently, no effective prognostic model of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) based on immune cell infiltration has been developed. Recent studies have identified 6 immune groups (IS) in 33 solid tumors. We aimed to characterize the expression pattern of IS in ccRCC and evaluate the potential in predicting patient prognosis. The clinical information, immune subgroup, somatic mutation, copy number variation, and methylation score of patients with TCGA ccRCC cohort were downloaded from UCSC Xena for further analysis. The most dominant IS in ccRCC was the inflammatory subgroup (immune C3) (86.5%), regardless of different pathological stages, pathological grades, and genders. In the C3 subgroup, stage IV (69.1%) and grade 4 (69.9%) were the least presented. Survival analysis showed that the IS could effectively predict the overall survival (OS) (P < .0001) and disease-specific survival (DSS) (P < .0001) of ccRCC alone, of which group C3 (OS, HR = 2.3, P < .001; DSS, HR = 2.84, P < .001) exhibited the best prognosis.
