Epididymal Leiomyoadenomatoid Tumor: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Primary tumors of the epididymis are rare. Adenomatoid tumors are benign, usually found within the wall of fallopian tubes or beneath the uterine serosa. They are most frequently diagnosed as benign tumors of the epididymis and represent 30% of paratesticular tumors.

[Accuracy of prostate biopsies to evaluate tumor location in prostate cancer].

Introduction: The therapeutic approach of prostate cancer depends mainly on pathological criteria obtained through prostate biopsy. The low accuracy of prostate biopsy for Gleason grade determination is well known but its accuracy for bilateral or multifocal tumor has not been evaluated. The goal of this study was to assess the concordance between prostate biopsy and whole prostate specimen obtained after radical prostatectomy especially for bilateral and/or multifocal tumor.
