Case ReportsTherapy of a clear cell adenocarcinoma of unknown primary arising in the abdominal wall after cesarean section and after hysterectomy.
Clear cell carcinoma arising in a cesarean section scar is extremely rare. Due to the rarity of the tumor, treatment strategies still need to be further elucidated. We report a case of a woman with a clear cell carcinoma of 10 cm outside the abdominal cavity in her cesarean section scar. ⋯ After staging surgery, six cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy with carboplatin/paclitaxel were performed. The patient was disease-free 10 months after completion of chemotherapy. Comprehensive treatment consisting of radical surgery combined with adjuvant chemotherapy can be considered for this uncommon tumor entity.

Case ReportsCerebral sinuvenous thrombosis: a rare complication of Lyme neuroborreliosis.
Association between neuroborreliosis and cerebral sinuvenous thrombosis is rare, and it can be made only when other, more common predisposing conditions are excluded. In the case of increased intracranial pressure and confirmed neuroborreliosis, early magnetic resonance venography and combination of antibacterial therapy with anticoagulation provide better long-term outcome. We present a case of a patient with cerebral sinuvenous thrombosis who was first treated for neuroborreliosis.
