Metastatic solid tumors to the testis: a clinicopathologic evaluation of 157 cases from an international collaboration.

To elucidate the spectrum of metastatic solid tumors to the testis and their clinicopathologic features. The databases and files of 26 pathology departments from 9 countries on 3 continents were surveyed to identify metastatic solid tumors to the testis and to characterize their clinicopathologic features in detail. We compiled a series of 157 cases of metastatic solid tumors that secondarily involved the testis.

Immunohistochemistry subtyping of urothelial carcinoma is feasible in the daily practice.

The preferred treatment of choice in muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is usually transurethral resection followed by cystectomy, with neoadjuvant chemotherapy being a second option. As the treatment is associated with relevant side effects, a great effort is being made to improve the selection of patients, with molecular subtyping being one of the main strategies. Our aim was to develop an immunohistochemical algorithm for subtyping MIBCs.

Metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma to the thyroid gland: A clinico-pathological and immunohistochemical study of 8 cases and review of the literature.

When a patient with a previous history of neoplasm presents with a thyroid lesion, the possibility of it being metastatic should always be considered. In this series, we present the clinicopathological and immunohistochemical features of the thyroid metastases diagnosed in our department over the past 30 years. Here we present eight thyroidal metastases from clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCCC), including a tumor to tumor metastasis, the patients being 2 men and 6 women with a median age of 62 years.
