Histopathological pattern of primary bone tumours and tumour-like lesions in Ile-Ife, Nigeria.

Introduction: Bone tumours are relatively rare in comparison with neoplasms in other parts of the body. Previous studies have noted higher frequencies of these tumours in young adults with potentially devastating consequences.

Methods: This study aimed to demonstrate the histopathological pattern of primary bone tumours and tumour-like lesions in Ile-Ife, Nigeria with emphasis on relative frequencies and distribution according to age, sex and anatomical location.

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and nephrotic syndrome in a child with embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma.

A case of nephrotic syndrome (NS) and acute renal failure (ARF) associated with embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) in a 10-year-old boy is reported. Ultrasound revealed irregular, echogenic, circumferential urinary bladder base mass, bilateral hydroureter and hydronephrosis. Histopathology of percutaneous renal and urethrocystoscopic biopsy specimens, respectively, revealed focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and embryonal RMS.
