Endolymphatic sac tumour - a rare complication associated with von Hippel-Lindau disease.

We report the case of a 42-year - old female with familiar form von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) and recurrent endolymphatic sac tumour (ELST), which was presented like non-homogenous, solid and cystic expansion of the left petrous temporal bone. Histologically, there was found lamellae of bone with adjacent ligament and with papillary projections with fibrovascular core. The papillae were lined by a single layer of cuboidal epithelium with hyperchromatic and lightly pleomorphic nuclei.

Cauda equina neuroendocrine tumors show biological features distinct from other paragangliomas and visceral neuroendocrine tumors.

Cauda equina neuroendocrine tumors (CENETs) are neoplasms of uncertain histogenesis with overlapping features between those of paragangliomas (PGs) and visceral neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). We have explored their biological relationship to both subsets of neuroendocrine neoplasms. The clinical and radiological features of a cohort of 23 CENETs were analyzed.

The Role of Tumor Microenvironment and Immune Response in Colorectal Cancer Development and Prognosis.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide. The patient's prognosis largely depends on the tumor stage at diagnosis. The pathological TNM Classification of Malignant Tumors (pTNM) staging of surgically resected cancers represents the main prognostic factor and guidance for decision-making in CRC patients.

Calcifying pseudoneoplasm of neuroaxis (CAPNON): a comprehensive immunohistochemical and morphological characterization of five cases.

Calcifying pseudoneoplasm of neuroaxis (CAPNON) is a rare lesion of the central nervous system with uncertain histogenesis. We further explored phenotypic spectrum of the entity with respect to possible histogenesis. We collected 5 cases of CAPNONs, performed a detailed morphological assessment, and performed an extensive immunohistochemical analysis (EMA, progesterone receptors, MUC4, SSTR2A, cytokeratin AE1/3, cytokeratin 18, GFAP, neurofilaments, desmin, nestin, synaptophysin, S100 protein, SOX10, CD56, Podoplanin, SATB2, ERG, CD45, and CD163) to elucidate the histogenesis.

Case report: Gaucher disease in trepanobiopsy of 16yo woman examined for suspected myelodysplastic syndrome.

Gaucher disease is an autosomal recessive disease belonging to the so-called storage diseases. More than 300 mutations of the GBA1 gene encoding the β-glucocerebrosidase enzyme are known. It is a very rare disease in the Czech Republic.
