Calcifying Nested Stromal-Epithelial Tumor (CNSET) of the liver is a hepatic neoplasm of uncertain lineage, primarily affecting young individuals. This case report aims to elucidate the clinical, histopathological, and molecular characteristics of CNSET, contributing to the sparse knowledge regarding this unusual entity. We present here a 17-year-old female patient diagnosed with CNSET, highlighting the tumor's radiologic appearance, surgical management, and postoperative findings, alongside a comprehensive review of existing literature on the subject.The patient was evaluated for obesity and discovered to have a liver mass through imaging studies. The tumor demonstrated distinctive MRI features and was surgically resected, with histopathology confirming the diagnosis of CNSET. Molecular analysis revealed and promoter mutations.This case report underscores the importance of considering CNSET in differential diagnoses of liver tumors in young patients and adds valuable insights into its molecular underpinnings, emphasizing the need for further research to understand its pathogenesis and optimize management strategies.

Background: Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) are rare catecholamine-secreting neuroendocrine tumors originating from the embryonic neural crest. Approximately 30% of PPGLs are hereditary and are frequently associated with genetic syndromes, including neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Composite PPGLs, which include components of both PPGLs and related tumors such as ganglioneuromas, are extremely rare in NF1 patients.

Salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) is a rare high-grade parotid malignancy prone to perineural spread. However, perineural spread of SDC has rarely been reported. The case of a 46-year-old male with SDC spread along the facial nerve (FN) is presented here.

Scalp masses are common scalp lesions, most of which are benign, with a small proportion being malignant. Scalp sarcomas constitute one category of malignant tumors, primarily including fibrosarcoma, liposarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, and leiomyosarcoma. Among these, scalp leiomyosarcoma is exceedingly rare.

Currently, symptomatic gastrointestinal (GI) angiodysplasia is treated with argon plasma coagulation (APC) via endoscopic procedures, supplemented with octreotide or thalidomide treatment. However, suboptimal response and side effects are often seen. Bevacizumab, an angiogenesis inhibitor, may provide an alternative systemic therapy for patients with refractory GI angiodysplasia.
