Article Synopsis
- - Acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSGN) can lead to severe kidney problems in some children, particularly in cases of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN), which can result in very low urine output and worsening kidney function.
- - The study analyzed kidney biopsies from children with APSGN over a 24-year period, finding that over half of the patients presented with advanced kidney injury, particularly those with reduced kidney function prior to the biopsy.
- - The research highlights that measuring estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) beforehand can help identify patients needing urgent kidney biopsies for better diagnosis and treatment planning in severe APSGN cases.
Most succinate dehydrogenase (SDH)-deficient renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) demonstrate stereotypical morphology characterized by bland eosinophilic cells with frequent intracytoplasmic inclusions. However, variant morphologic features have been increasingly recognized. We therefore sought to investigate the incidence and characteristics of SDH-deficient RCC with variant morphologies.

Objective: To assess the utility of intraoperative frozen section margin assessment using a teledermatopathology system in the treatment of head and neck lentigo maligna.
Methods And Materials: Over a 6 year period, 96 patients with lentigo maligna had surgical excisions.
Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) of the urinary bladder are rare. We present a case of a 72-year-old man who presented with back pain and acute renal failure. Ultrasound showed a soft tissue mass in the base of the bladder causing bilateral ureteric obstruction.
