Article Abstract
Pulmonary lymphatic involvement of sarcomas is an extremely rare form of metastases. We report the computed tomography (CT) features of pathologically confirmed pulmonary lymphatic involvement from metastatic uterine sarcomas. The CT illustrated smooth or nodular thickenings of the interlobular septa and bronchovascular bundle. Moreover, ground-glass opacity along the interlobular septa was also detected. These findings suggest that lymphatic involvement has diagnostic value for detecting this rare form of metastatic sarcomas. We also discuss possible differential diagnoses in this case and review previous cases reporting pulmonary lymphatic involvement in metastatic sarcomas. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report describing pulmonary lymphatic involvement in metastatic uterine sarcomas. Pulmonary lymphatic spread of sarcomas is a rare form of metastatic sarcomas, but it should be considered when these findings suggesting lymphatic involvement are detected on CT.

Out with the old - advancements and shortcomings of the updated 9th edition of the Tumor, Node, Metastasis (TNM) classification system for lung cancer.

Objectives: The 9th edition of the Tumor, Node, Metastasis (TNM-9) lung cancer classification is set to replace the 8th edition (TNM-8) starting in 2025. Key updates include the splitting of the mediastinal nodal category N2 into single- and multiple-station involvement, as well as the classification of multiple extrathoracic metastatic lesions as involving a single organ system (M1c1) or multiple organ systems (M1c2). This study aimed to assess how the TNM-9 revisions affect the final staging of lung cancer patients and how these changes correlate with overall survival (OS).

Background: Metastases in the lateral pelvic lymph nodes or mesenteric lymph nodes represent distinct categories of mid-low rectal cancer. This study investigated the patterns of mesenteric and lateral pelvic lymph node metastases in mid-low rectal cancer; the survival benefit of postoperative treatment was also analysed in these groups.
Methods: This retrospective multicentre study included consecutive patients with mid-low rectal cancer who underwent total mesorectal excision with lateral pelvic lymph node dissection in three Chinese institutions between 2012 and 2020.

Lipid nanocapsules (LNCs) are an emerging nanocarrier platform for cancer therapy as they can co-deliver multiple drugs, promote synergistic action, and provide targeted drug delivery. The phase inversion temperature (PIT) process is most used for LNC formulation, which has the advantage of process simplicity, thermodynamic stability, and the employment of non-toxic solvents without requiring high energy input. Surface functionalization with targeting ligands like folic acid and peptides increases tumor specificity and reduces off-target toxicity.

Rationale: Extranodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma is an uncommon non-Hodgkin lymphoma, prevalent in Asia. It often involves the nasal and upper airway regions but can disseminate to other sites like skin, soft tissue, testis, and gastrointestinal tract, characterized by Epstein-Barr virus association.
Patient Concerns: This report discusses a 48-year-old male initially diagnosed with Behcet syndrome with dry mouth, uveitis, pruritic macules, and human leukocyte antigen-B51 positivity.
