Autophagy in Pituitary Neuroendocrine Tumors (PitNETs): Molecular Mechanisms, Secretory Homeostasis, Therapeutic Resistance, and Translational Perspectives

Pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs) are usually indolent but may show invasive growth, recurrence, hormonal hypersecretion, and treatment resistance. Autophagy intersects with nutrient sensing, lysosomal homeostasis, mitochondrial quality control, and secretory-granule turn...

Epithelioid infraligamentary uterine leiomyoma in an adolescent: imaging–pathology correlation and minimally invasive management

Abstract Background Epithelioid uterine leiomyoma is an uncommon histological variant and is exceptionally rare in adolescence. Its unusual anatomical presentation may complicate preoperative characterization, while definitive diagnosis relies on histopathological evaluation, inc...
