Sclerosing Pneumocytoma: A Host for a Typical Carcinoid With Pleural Metastasis-A Wolf in Sheep`s Clothing.

Sclerosing pneumocytoma (SP) is a rare primary lung tumor. Typical carcinoids (TCs) count for 2% of lung malignancies. A description of a combined neoplasm of SP with a nodal and pleural metastasized TC has, to our knowledge, never been published.

Clinical and Histopathologic Ocular Findings in Disseminated Mycobacterium chimaera Infection after Cardiothoracic Surgery.

Purpose: To investigate and characterize clinical and histopathologic ocular findings in patients with disseminated infection with Mycobacterium chimaera, a slow-growing nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM), subsequent to cardiothoracic surgery.

Design: Observational case series.

Participants: Five white patients (10 eyes).

Cancer testis antigen expression in testicular germ cell tumorigenesis.

Cancer testis antigens are encoded by germ line-associated genes that are present in normal germ cells of testis and ovary but not in differentiated tissues. Their expression in various human cancer types has been interpreted as 're-expression' or as intratumoral progenitor cell signature. Cancer testis antigen expression patterns have not yet been studied in germ cell tumorigenesis with specific emphasis on intratubular germ cell neoplasia unclassified as a precursor lesion for testicular germ cell tumors.
