Case report: A case of lateral neck mass: ectopic thyroid carcinoma or lymph node metastasis? by Xinran Wei, Ping Yu, Chengcheng Duan, Jingyue Zhong, Xianji Wu, Siqi Xiao, Wenxi Yu, Guang Zhang

“…ObjectiveTo review a rare case of a lateral neck mass pathologically confirmed as an encapsulated papillary thyroid carcinoma in our center for complementing the lack of management of rare cases, and to explore the differentiation of primary ectopic thyroid carcinoma and metastatic disease in the context of the presence of malignant tumors within the situ thyroid gland.MethodsWe searched for studies on lateral neck ectopic thyroid cancer to compare and analyze it with metastatic carcinoma of the thyroid gland in terms of clinical features, imaging manifestations, pathological features at molecular level, and treatment principles.ResultsBased on available data, we concluded that the mass of this patient was consistent with metastatic lateral neck ectopic thyroid carcinoma.ConclusionOur findings suggest that differentiating between these two conditions is challenging, as there is currently no reliable methods that can adequately determine their nature. …”

Transplant Tolerance: New Insights and Strategies for Long-Term Allograft Acceptance by Paulina Ruiz, Paula Maldonado, Yessia Hidalgo, Alejandra Gleisner, Daniela Sauma, Cinthia Silva, Juan Jose Saez, Sarah Nuñez, Mario Rosemblatt, Maria Rosa Bono

“…Today, organ transplantation between genetically dissimilar individuals (allogeneic grafting) is a procedure widely used as a therapeutic alternative in cases of organ failure, hematological disease treatment, and some malignancies. Despite the potential of organ transplantation, the administration of immunosuppressive drugs required for allograft acceptance induces severe immunosuppression in transplanted patients, which leads to serious side effects such as infection with opportunistic pathogens and the occurrence of neoplasias, in addition to the known intrinsic toxicity of these drugs. …”
