Primary mucinous cystic neoplasms are rare tumours of the kidney, with a very few case reports in the literature. They arise from metaplasia of renal pelvic urothelium. We describe here a 45-year-old male who presented with pain in the abdomen and a lump in the left iliac fossa for two months. Ultrasound and CT scan showed a large, complex, heterogenous mass in the central abdomen and left ilia...

a 22-year-old man presented with exertional dyspnea commencing one month prior to his admission. echocardiography revealed a non-homogenous mass, and the pathology examination of the pericardial biopsy was compatible with angiosarcoma.

The review article presents data on: a) definition of microhematuria and diagnosis; b) prevalence estimation causes the asymptomatic microscopic hematuria; c) diagnostic approaches for first time identified microhematuria; d) follow-up monitoring patients with e) feasibility medical screening microhematuria. analysis includes recommendations Russian foreign urological associations, results coho...

Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC), is the 9th most common cancer in United States. The major classifications of RCC include clear cell (ccRCC), papillary (pRCC) and chromophobe (chRCC). Treatment for localized disease includes resection or ablation with curative intent, surveillance if these procedures are not feasible. Unfortunately, about one-third patients will present metastatic at time diagnosis ...

VHL patients develop tumors in brain, spinal cord, nerve roots, kidney, adrenal gland and extra-adrenal ganglia, pancreas, epididymis and broad ligament. VHL disease produces highly characteristic neuropathologic changes which are presented in this review. Highly vascularized tumors, hemangioblastomas, involve cerebellum and spinal cord of the majority of patients. A smaller number of patients ...

In the United States, renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for approximately 3% of adult malignancies and 90-95% of all neoplasms arising from the kidney. According to the National Cancer Institute, 58 240 new cases and 13 040 deaths from renal cancer will occur in 2010. RCC usually occurs in older adults between the ages of 50 and 70 and is rare in young adults and children. We describe a case ...

The eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) developed neoplastic disorders when experimentally exposed both in the laboratory and field to chemically contaminated sediment from Black Rock Harbor (BRH), Bridgeport, Connecticut. Neoplasia was observed in oysters after 30 and 60 days of continuous exposure in a laboratory flow-through system to a 20 mg/L suspension of BRH sediment plus postexposure...

Predicting novel microRNA (miRNA)-disease associations is clinically significant due to miRNAs' potential roles of diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for various human diseases. Previous studies have demonstrated the viability of utilizing different types of biological data to computationally infer new disease-related miRNAs. Yet researchers face the challenge of how to effectively i...
