Intrahepatic cholangiocellular carcinoma (ICC) is one of the most common invasive malignancies. Currently, ICC is treated with radical surgical resection. However, the majority of patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage, making surgery ineligible for them.We present a case of advanced ICC, which could not undergo radical surgery due to tumor invasion of liver blood vessels. The gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (GEMOX) regimen combined with Tislelizumab immunotherapy and Lenvatinib targeted therapy for 8 cycles resulted in significant tumor shrinkage significantly and the vascular invasion disappeared. CA19–9 levels were reduced to normal levels. Partial remission and successful tumor transformation were achieved. The patient underwent a successful radical surgical resection, including cholecystectomy, resection of liver segments IV, V, and VIII, as well as a regional lymphatic dissection procedure, resulting in complete pathological remission.Tumor-free surgical margins (R0) resection of patients with advanced ICC after combination of immune, targeted and chemotherapy is rare, and there are almost no cases of complete postoperative remission. The GEMOX regimen in combination with Tislelizumab and Lenvatinib has a good antitumor efficacy and safety profile, and may be a feasible and safe translational treatment option for advanced ICC.

We herein describe a rare case of adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia with an 18florine-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) skeletal superscan-like appearance. The degree of bone marrow uptake was so intense that it far exceeded the level of physiological cerebral uptake and radiourinary activity. The distribution was remarkably similar to a superscan seen on skeletal scintigraphy. Skeletal superscans of 18F-FDG PET/CT have been reported in hematological diseases, solid tumors with extensive bone metastasis, and metabolic diseases. Thus, we reviewed the PET/CT images of cases reported, indicating that more homogeneous distribution, without primary tumor and specific mandibular and skull activity, may be suggestive of hematological diseases.

Growing teratoma syndrome (GTS) is a rare condition that arises secondary to malignant germ cell tumors. It is characterized by an enlarging abdominal mass during or after chemotherapy, normal tumor markers, and histopathological indications of mature teratoma components. Awareness of GTS is limited, and it is often mistaken for disease progression or recurrence. This misdiagnosis can lead to delayed treatment and increased risk of complications. Therefore, early identification of GTS is crucial to avoid unnecessary systemic treatments and reduce financial burden. GTS is unresponsive to chemotherapy or radiotherapy and complete surgical resection is the sole therapeutic strategy. In this report, we present a case of GTS in a 20-year-old female following treatment for immature teratoma, alongside a review of the relevant literature aimed at enriching our insight into the clinical manifestations of GTS.
