Fibrillary glomerulopathy represents an uncommon glomerular disease of organised deposits that is diagnosed in 0.5–1% native renal biopsies. It was first reported by Rosenmann and Eliakim 1977 as a with material very similar to amyloid did not stain Congo red. Until recently, this entity based on finding from histology electron microscopy. In the last few years, it has been shown identification...

UNLABELLED We report the case of a 52-year-old woman who developed bilateral anterior and posterior subcapsular cataracts with anterior capsule fibrosis 12 years after exposure to intensive radiation therapy. The woman had uneventful cataract surgery and gained 20/20 corrected distance visual acuity in both eyes. Hematoxylin-eosin staining of the anterior capsule revealed significant subcapsula...

Angiosarcoma arising in association with an arteriovenous graft (AVG) or fistula is a unique clinicopathologic scenario that appears to be gaining recognition in the literature. Among reported cases, none has described high-level MYC gene amplification, a genetic aberration that is increasingly unifying the various clinicopathologic subdivisions of angiosarcoma. We therefore report the MYC gene...

Cutaneous metastases from internal malignancies are uncommon and occur in 0.6%-10.4% of all patients with cancer. In most cases, cutaneous metastases develop after the initial diagnosis of the primary internal malignancy and late in the course of the disease. Skin tumors are infrequent in Asian population and cutaneous metastases are quite rare. Cutaneous metastases carry a poor prognosis with ...

Background. Advanced age is associated with a poorer prognosis in patients with melanoma. Despite this established finding, a decreased incidence of positive sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) with advancing age has paradoxically been described. Methods. Using a single-institution database of melanoma patients between 1994 and 2009, the relationship between standard clinicopathologic variables and rec...
