Introduction: We aimed to evaluate the status of spermatogenesis detected by histological examination of non-tumoral testicular tissues in tumor bearing testis and its association with advanced stage disease.
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients with testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs) that undergone radical orchiectomy. All non-tumoral areas of the orchiectomy specimens were examined for the status of spermatogenesis.
Xanthomatous meningioma is an extremely rare subtype of metaplastic meningiomas with few cases reported in the literature. Histopathologically, it is composed of oval-shaped cells that have central nuclei and cytoplasm with lipid-filled vacuoles, resembling macrophages. Here, the authors present a case of xanthomatous meningioma and discuss the hypotheses related to its origin and the differential diagnosis.

- Splenic involvement in ANCA-associated vasculitides (AAVs) is often underestimated, with a notable frequency of splenic lesions found in patients, particularly those with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA).
- A study analyzed CT images from 69 AAV patients, finding that 28% had splenic pathologies, primarily splenomegaly and splenic infarction, which were predominantly seen in GPA patients.
- Younger patients with GPA and specific ENT and eye involvement had a higher likelihood of splenic infarction, suggesting its potential as a distinguishing factor in diagnosing GPA versus other forms of AAV.
