Background: The incidence of renal tumors has steadily increased over the past decade. In this study, the authors performed a systematic review and analysis of the literature on renal fine-needle aspiration (FNA) to determine its performance and explore whether a standardized classification system can be used for reporting renal FNA cytology.
Methods: A systematic search of published articles on renal FNA was conducted.
Article Synopsis
- About 95% of cervical squamous cell carcinomas are linked to high-risk HPV, but some rare cases are associated with low-risk HPV types.
- A case study focuses on a 30-year-old woman who experienced pelvic pain and foul-smelling discharge, eventually diagnosed with a rare form of cervical squamous cell carcinoma linked to low-risk HPV 6/11 after initial low-grade results.
- Following a type III hysterectomy and lymphadenectomy, the patient, who received chemoradiotherapy, has been disease-free for 36 months, highlighting the importance of distinguishing low-risk HPV-related lesions for accurate diagnosis.
Background/aim: β-Catenin is a multifunctional protein, which is localized to different subcellular compartments of the normal colon epithelium. The hyperactivation of Wnt pathway results in the nuclear accumulation of β-catenin and induction of colorectal carcinogenesis. Although N-terminally hypo-phosphorylated β-catenin (active β-catenin) is known as the transcriptionally active form, phospho-S33/S37/T41-β-catenin (phospho-β-catenin) can also accumulate in the nucleus.

As they have been recently described among the testicular germ cell tumor (TGCT) variants, pathologists' familiarity with their morphology is limited. We searched our electronic hospital records covering the years 2000-2017 for post-chemotherapy retroperitoneal TGCT metastectomies.

It may also occur as a secondary malignancy and its occurrence either as a somatic malignancy arising in the germ cell tumor or as a secondary malignancy after chemotherapy is questionable. In this report, we present a 29-year-old male patient with a mass in the lower lobe of the left lung, who underwent orchiectomy and received adjuvant chemotherapy due to a mixed germ cell tumor 8 years ago.

We identified three patients with STK4 deficiency who had presented to our hospital and reviewed their biopsy samples with the goal of detailing the characteristics of STK4 deficiency from a pathology perspective. Case 1 was a 20-year-old male who presented with cervical and supraclavicular lymphadenopathy which showed plasmacytic hyperplasia and a concurrent bronchial mass, with AA amyloidosis and EBV-associated "polymorphic lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD) resembling polymorphic post-transplant LPD.

Methods: Herein, we report a 66-year-old male with a firm scrotal mass that had gradually enlarged over 20 years.
Results: Radiological studies revealed 10 x 15 cm mass lesion confined to right scrotum with neither local invasion nor distant metastasis.
