This study describes a unique case of single mucin-rich brain metastasis in a patient with breast cancer, mimicking the T2-fluid attenuation inversion recovery (FLAIR) mismatch sign and masquerading as an isocitrate dehydrogenase-mutant astrocytoma. This case highlights the importance of considering mucin-rich lesions in the differential diagnosis of intracranial tumors exhibiting T2-FLAIR mismatch. Clinicians must recognize the potential convergence in imaging characteristics between these metastases and gliomas to guarantee prompt and accurate patient care.

In fully edentulous patients with severe mandibular alveolar bone resorption, the retention and stability of a mandibular complete denture may be limited. There are two primary impression techniques for complete denture fabrication: the open-mouth impres-sion technique and the closed-mouth impression technique. These two methods differ in how they achieve retention and stability, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. The study aims to compare the difference in supporting area, retention, and patient satisfaction between mandibular complete dentures fabricated using two impression techniques: the open-mouth impres-sion technique and the closed-mouth impression technique.

In recent years, next-generation sequencing (NGS)–based genetic testing has become crucial in cancer care. While its primary objective is to identify actionable genetic alterations to guide treatment decisions, its scope has broadened to encompass aiding in pathological diagnosis and exploring resistance mechanisms. With the ongoing expansion in NGS application and reliance, a compelling necessity arises for expert consensus on its application in solid cancers. To address this demand, the forthcoming recommendations not only provide pragmatic guidance for the clinical use of NGS but also systematically classify actionable genes based on specific cancer types. Additionally, these recommendations will incorporate expert perspectives on crucial biomarkers, ensuring informed decisions regarding circulating tumor DNA panel testing.
