Article Synopsis
- - Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare and aggressive type of cancer with no significant treatment advancements, making the search for new prognostic biomarkers crucial.
- - The study focused on Sterol-O-acyl transferase 1 (SOAT1), which is linked to cholesterol metabolism, finding that strong expression of SOAT1 in ACC tumors indicates a worse prognosis and is associated with aggressive cancer features.
- - The research revealed that high SOAT1 levels can predict lower overall survival and recurrence-free survival in ACC patients, emphasizing its potential as a significant biomarker for assessing clinical outcomes.
Context: Ureteral fibroepithelial polyps are rare benign nonepithelial tumors, and less than 200 cases have been reported in the literature. We report on a pregnant patient with ureteral fibroepithelial polyps that were successfully treated with laparotomy.
Case Report: A 23-year-old pregnant woman presented with a three-month history of intermittent lumbar pain of low intensity.
