Article Abstract
Patients with large benign goiters often present local compressive symptoms that require surgical treatment, including dysphagia, neck tightness, and airway obstruction. In contrast, patients with such goiters who remain asymptomatic may be observed after exclusion of malignancy. The use of levothyroxine (LT4) to reduce the volume of the goiter is still a controversial treatment for large goiters, and the optimal surgical procedure for multinodular goiter is still debatable. Radioiodine is a safe and effective treatment option when used alone or in combination with recombinant human TSH. This review discusses current therapeutic options to treat diffuse and multinodular non-toxic benign goiters.

DICER1 syndrome is a tumor-predisposition disorder caused by a germline pathogenic variant in DICER1. Pathogenic variants of DICER1 are the monogenic cause of various tumors including pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB), ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors, and multinodular goiters. We present a family with a novel DICER1 pathogenic variant c.

Cutaneous Rhabdomyosarcoma With FUS::TFCP2 Fusion: An Emerging Entity That Expands the Differential Diagnosis of ALK-Positive Spindle Cell Neoplasm of the Skin.

Rhabdomyosarcoma with EWSR1/FUS::TFCP2 fusion is an emerging subtype of rhabdomyosarcoma that rarely arises in skin. It is characterized by spindle and epithelioid morphology, and frequent expression of cytokeratin and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK). We report a case of primary cutaneous rhabdomyosarcoma with FUS::TFCP2 fusion in a 59-year-old man who initially presented with an erythematous lesion on the chest that progressed to a mass-forming lesion 6 months before his hospital visit.

Background: Thyroid diseases are the second most common hormonal disorders, necessitating accurate diagnostics. Advances in artificial intelligence and radiomics have enhanced diagnostic precision by analyzing quantitative imaging features. However, reproducibility challenges arising from factors such as the field-of-view (FOV) zooming and segmentation variability limit the clinical application of radiomic-based models.
