Background: This study aimed to compare the oncologic outcomes among negative, close, positive, and dysplasia resection margins (RMs) with oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and to investigate the impact of dysplastic RMs.
Methods: The 565 patients were retrospectively analyzed and divided into four groups according to RM. Dysplasia was classified into mild, moderate, and severe subgroups.
Results: RMs consisted of negative (62.1%), close (27.1%), positive (2.1%), and dysplastic (8.7%). In multivariate analysis, advanced T/N stages and positive RM were significant risk factors for overall survival, while dysplasia at the RM was not a significant risk factor for locoregional recurrence or overall survival. In subgroup analysis of patients with dysplastic margin, RM with severe dysplasia showed higher recurrence than mild and moderate dysplasia.
Conclusions: Dysplastic RM was not a risk factor for recurrence and survival. Severe dysplasia RM should be carefully observed due to higher recurrence compared to other dysplasia RMs.

Background: Anal squamous cell cancer incidence has risen 2.2% each year over the past decade. Current screening includes anal cytology and high-resolution anoscopy but is burdened with sampling error and patient discomfort.

Background/aim: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic disorder characterized by the development of multiple tumors, including plexiform neurofibromas (PNFs), which often affect the craniofacial region and cause significant functional and aesthetic impairments. This report presents long-term surgical management of a patient with hemifacial diffuse PNF, complicated by the emergence of a rapidly enlarging midfacial tumor.
Case Report: The patient was treated for hemifacial invasive diffuse plexiform neurofibroma.

Background Gastric hyperplastic polyps (GHPs) represent a subset of gastric polyps that are clinically problematic when large and they can cause persistent, low-grade bleeding or gastric outlet obstruction. Rare malignant transformation has been reported, albeit not in our experience. Methods We retrospectively studied the clinicopathologic characteristics of large GHPs (≥20 mm) excised by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) or endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) between 2013 and 2020 at a single institution.

Genome-wide paternal uniparental isodisomy mosaicism (GWpUPIDM) is an extremely rare condition characterized by varying proportions of an androgenetic cell line across different tissues. It is primarily associated with severe congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI), Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) stigmata, a high risk (69-79%) of developing neoplasia and, in some cases, additional manifestations of multilocus paternal imprinting disorders (MPIDs). We herein report the first Mexican/Latin American female patient GWpUPIDM presenting with non-syndromic CHI requiring subtotal pancreatectomy and persistent but unexplained asymptomatic diffuse hepatopathy.

: Esophageal and esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma (EADC-EGJA), which mainly develops from Barrett's esophagus (BE), low-grade dysplasia (LGD), and high-grade dysplasia (HGD), has a poor prognosis and several unmet clinical needs, among which is the detection of minimal residual disease (MRD) after endoscopic/surgical resection. Long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1), a surrogate marker of global methylation, is considered an emerging biomarker for MRD monitoring. The aim of this study was to determine, by LINE-1 methylation analysis, at which carcinogenesis step global methylation is affected and whether this biomarker could be followed in longitudinal to monitor the disease behavior post-surgery.
