In 2002, Seibel et al. presented a case series of 18 patients with villous adenomas of the urethra. Since then, only a couple of reports regarding this rare entity have been published. Recently (2013), Kao and Epstein proposed a new entity of tubular adenoma (4 cases) in the urinary tract, being similar to tubular adenomas in gastrointestinal (GI) tract; no following cases have been reported. H...

Background. Primary lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the prostate gland (PLELCP) is rare with hardly any information on its diagnostic features and biological behaviour. Aim. To review the literature. Method. Various Internet data bases were searched. Literature Review. PLELCP is extremely rare and there are hardly any pictures of the tumour involving the prostate; hence it would appear that...

Genomic studies are rapidly identifying genetic alterations in human cancer, but functional validation of such alterations has been slow. Here, using human prostate cancer as a model, we have assessed the feasibility of engineering defined genetic alterations in well-known cancer driver genes to transform benign prostate epithelial organoids derived from African American men. Benign human prost...

Micropapillary variant of urothelial carcinoma (UC) of the bladder is an aggressive tumour, comprising 0.6-6% of all UC. It generally presents with high-grade and stage, and has been reported as having a worse prognosis when compared to traditional UC. We report the case of a 58-year-old man who presented with macroscopic haematuria. The patient was diagnosed with high-grade urothelial carcinom...

Background and Objective: Adenocarcinoma of the prostate is the second most common cause of cancer. The loss of CD10 is a common early event in human prostate cancer and is seen in lower Gleason Score malignancies while increased and altered expression is seen in high Gleason Score tumors, lymph nodes and bone metastasis. Material and Methods: This was a ...

The present study reports the novel case of an 81-year-old male with prostatic adenocarcinoma (PAC), whose histopathological study revealed a pure urothelial carcinoma (UC) that originated, however, from the prostatic glandular epithelium. The levels of serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) were extraordinarily high in this patient. An MRI scan indicated a prostatic neoplasm and no malignant ch...

BACKGROUND Histopathological differentiation between BCH and HGPIN in prostatic needle biopsies is a diagnostic challenge. The gold standard for detection of HGPIN and BCH is histopathological examination; however subjectivity in interpretation and tiny volume of obtained tissue hamper reliable diagnosis. AIMS The aim of this study was to assess usefulness of using the p63 and p504s to solve ...

Purpose: To determine the recurring DNA copy number alterations (CNA) in classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) by microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) using laser capture microdissected CD30þ Hodgkin and Reed–Sternberg (HRS) cells. Experimental Design: Archived tissues from 27 CD30þHL plus control samples were analyzed by DNA microarrays. The HL molecular karyotypes were compared...
