Primary ovarian carcinoid tumors are rare well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors classified as monodermal teratomas. They usually occur in perimenopausal woman and are accompanied with mature cystic teratoma or mucinous tumors. The diagnosis may be supported by the clinical presentation of carcinoid syndromes such as flushing, diarrhea, or chronic constipation. Here, we report on the case of a 51-year-old female with surgically confirmed primary ovarian carcinoid, describe the MRI features of the tumor, and correlate them with the pathological findings.

Background: This study analyzed the epidemiology and treatment outcomes of germ cell tumorpatients at a single institution. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on intracranial germ cell tumor (iGCT) pa-tients treated at a single tertiary hospital from 2004 to 2019. Patients were categorized based on treatment modality: Korean Society for Pediatric Neuro-Oncology (KSPNO) protocol or bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin with radiation therapy. Results: Forty-nine iGCT patients treated with combined chemotherapy and radiotherapywere analyzed. The median age was 19 years (range: 6–40), with a median follow-up duration of 148.0 months (range: 10.5–265.5). Tumors were most common in the pineal gland (51.0%). Although no significant differences in outcomes were observed between treatment modalities, outcomes varied significantly by pathological type. The 10-year progression-free survival rates for germinoma and non-germinomatous germ cell tumors (NGGCTs) were 88.1% and 32.7%, respectively (p=0.003), while the 10-year overall survival rates were 92.9% and 67.5%, respectively (p<0.001). Fourteen patients experienced CTCAE (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events) grade ≥3 adverse events, with one eventrelated death. Conclusion Pure germinoma demonstrated higher survival and lower recurrence rates comparedto NGGCT. The KSPNO protocol appears to be an acceptable and safe treatment option for iGCT patients. Further multi-institutional studies with larger cohorts are warranted.

Gastric metastasis (GM) from cervical cancer is extremely rare, and only a few cases have been reported in the English literature. Gastric-type mucinous adenocarcinomas (GAS) of the uterine cervix are rare. GAS is an aggressive cancer commonly found in advanced stages; however, GM has not been reported. This study presents a rare case of GM from GAS of the uterine cervix in a 61-year-old female and describes the radiological findings of both the GM and cervical mucinous adenocarcinoma. GM appeared as a poor enhancing submucosal mass. The cervical mucinous adenocarcinoma appeared as an infiltrating mass with poor contrast enhancement. It exhibited mildly high and low signal intensities on the diffusion-weighted image and apparent diffusion coefficient map, respectively. This case is extremely rare and challenging to diagnose; however, if cervical cancer is an human papillomavirus-independent GAS type and a submucosal lesion is found in the stomach, the possibility of metastasis with a pattern similar to our case could be considered.

Concomitant renal cell carcinomas (RCC) of both native and allograft kidneys are extremely rare, and only a few cases have been reported in the available English literature. A particularly rare variant within the adult population is the Xp11.2 translocation/transcription factor E3 (TFE3)-rearranged RCC. Although few case reports of TFE3-rearranged RCC have been reported in children who underwent kidney transplantation (KT), no case of adults with TFE3-rearranged RCC following KT has been reported. Herein, we presented the radiological and pathological findings of a rare metachronous papillary RCC in the allograft kidney and TFE3-rearranged RCC in the native kidney. The TFE3-rearranged RCC in the native kidney exhibited slow expansion in size over five years. Radiologically, it appeared as a slightly enhanced, lobulated mass on contrast-enhanced CT. MRI revealed high signal intensity on T1-weighted images and low signal intensity on T2-weighted images.
