lipoma is the most common soft tissue tumor but the presence of osseous component within the tumor is quite rare. some studies show that less than 1% of lipomas were ossified. we describe the histological, radiological and diagnostic features of an ossified intramuscular lipoma. to the best of the authors' knowledge, a symptomatic ossified intramuscular lipoma without any cortical erosion and h...

Cells cannot survive if they lack adequate oxygen and nutrient supply or cannot dispose of toxic molecules. Oxygen can diffuse from capillaries for only 150–200 m. When distances of cells from a blood supply exceed this, cell death follows (1,2). Thus, the growth and survival of tumor masses beyond 0.5 mm in diameter require neovascularization, i.e., angiogenesis (3). In this issue of the Journ...

Schwannomas (or neurilemmomas) are slow-growing mesenchymal neoplasms of the peripheral nerve sheath that may arise at almost any anatomical site. Mesentery schwannoma is extremely rare, with less than ten previously described cases. We present the case of a 38-year-old woman with arterial hypertension and chronic kidney disease with an abdominal painless mass of two years duration and an incon...

INTRODUCTION Radical endoscopic minimal-invasive treatment methods, such as thermal ablation, are sought as an alternative to standard radical surgical treatment of kidney neoplasms. We analysed patients who could be qualified for radical treatment due to T1a renal tumour. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-three patients out of 129 who underwent radiofrequency thermal ablation of kidney tumours in ...

ABSTRACT The aim of the study was to investigate nephrotoxicity doxorubicin in cats with malignant neoplasms mammary gland. All selected did not present comorbidities such as nephropathies and/or cardiomyopathies, confirmed by physical and laboratory tests, underwent radical mastectomy associated regional lymph node excision were treated a protocol based on doxorubicin. Renal markers urea, crea...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to modify the adrenal gland-sparing strategy based on retroperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy by reviewing the anatomic relationship between the kidney and the adrenal gland. METHODS From June 2010 to October 2012, a total of 68 patients (45 males and 23 females) with localized renal cell carcinoma were treated at our hospital. The study inc...

Renal cell carcinoma accounts for about 3% of adult malignancies and 85% of neoplasms arising from the kidney. To identify potential progression markers for kidney cancer we examined non-neoplastic and neoplastic kidney tissue from three groups of patients, which represent different tumor stages (pT1, pT2, pT3) by a fluorescence two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) approach ...

Introduction. Simultaneous ipsilateral coexistence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and upper urinary tract urothelial (UTUC) rarely occurs. Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN) is a chronic degenerative tubulointerstitial disease, strongly associated with UTUC. Case outline. ? 60-year-old man from the region BEN was referred to our clinic due right flank pain, fever, purulent discharge cutaneous fist...

Clear cellrenal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common malignant renal tumor in adults, while chromophobe RCC (CRCC) is the third most common. Any subtypes of RCC can undergo sarcomatoid differentiation, but heterologous differentiation in sarcomatoid area is very rare in RCC. Here a61-year male is presented with hematuria and palpable mass. Clinicoradiologically, RCC was considered and left r...
