Article Abstract
A 63-year-old female was admitted to our hospital with a tender abdominal wall mass about 15 cm in diameter, which she had for 1 month. About 1 week earlier, the patient had also perceived a mass in the neck area. Computed tomography revealed huge thyroid and periumbilical masses. The thyroid hormone levels were consistent with a hyperthyroid state. Pathological examination of the thyroid mass was compatible with anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) and the abdominal cutaneous mass was shown to be metastatic ATC. Despite palliative radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the patient died of respiratory failure on her 63rd day of hospitalization. This case demonstrates that abdominal cutaneous metastasis and hyperthyroidism can occur as initial manifestations of ATC. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case.

Postmortem tanning, previously referred to as either postmortem suntan or postmortem sunburn, presents as hyperpigmentation of sun-exposed uncovered skin. It most commonly occurs in decedents who remain in an environment in which the ambient temperature is either warm or hot; the areas of the corpse that are exposed to the sun develop hyperpigmentation. This postmortem change usually appears in the fresh (first) stage of decomposition.

Background: Radical cystectomy accompanied by urinary diversion remains the standard surgical intervention for individuals diagnosed with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Notably, around 30% of these patients opt for a ureterocutaneous stoma. However, this technique is frequently associated with complications such as anastomotic stenosis, obstruction, and infection, which can lead to the deterioration of renal function and significantly impair the patient's quality of life.

Hip arthroscopy has become an increasingly common and effective surgical technique for the diagnosis and treatment of various intra-articular hip disorders. While generally considered safe and minimally invasive, the procedure is not without risks. The increasing volume and complexity of hip arthroscopies has led to a rise in reported complications, highlighting the importance of understanding potential adverse events and their management.
