Rare Metastatic Testicular Cancer in a Veteran.

Testicular yolk sac tumor (YST) is a nonseminomatous germ cell tumor that predominantly affects prepubescent boys. Pure endometrioid variant YST is rare, with only 1 report in the literature. We present the first reported case of en-dometrioid variant YST with mature teratoma in the retro-peritoneal specimen.

Combat urologic trauma in US military overseas contingency operations.

Background: This article reports on the occurrences and patterns of genitourinary (GU) trauma in the contemporary high-intensity conflict of the overseas contingency operations (OCOs).

Methods: The Joint Theater Trauma Registry was queried for all US military members who received treatment for GU wounds and concomitant injuries sustained in OCOs for >75 months between October 2001 and January 2008.

Results: Of the 16,323 trauma admissions annotated in the Joint Theater Trauma Registry, 819 (5%) had one or more GU injuries.

Patient risk stratification using Gleason score concordance and upgrading among men with prostate biopsy Gleason score 6 or 7.

Purpose: To define the impact of discordant Gleason sum (GS) between prostate biopsy (Pbx) tissue and radical prostatectomy (RP) specimen among men initially diagnosed with Gleason 6 or 7 prostate adenocarcinoma.

Materials And Methods: We evaluated patients diagnosed with GS 6 or 7 and treated primarily with RP. We defined the frequency of GS discordance between Pbx and RP pathology reports.
