gene fusion occurs in approximately 50% of prostatic adenocarcinoma and their expression is associated with aggressive phenotype, higher tumor stage, and tumor metastasis. A case of prostatic adenocarcinoma with translocation was previously reported. We report a prostatic adenocarcinoma with novel gene fusion that occurs in a 71-year-old male patient with aggressive histologic phenotype and multiple bony metastases.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFTesticular 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.

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.
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.
