Symptomatic giant peritoneal loose body in the pelvic cavity: A case report.

Introduction: Giant peritoneal loose bodies (gPLB) occur rarely and therefore only few have been described. Often they are found incidentally and have no clinical relevance, whereas symptomatic forms may require surgical removal.

Presentation Of Case: We report the case of a male patient suffering from abdominal discomfort with alternating localizations for several years, actually presenting with a proctitis.

Targeting the ROR1 and ROR2 receptors in epithelial ovarian cancer inhibits cell migration and invasion.

Aim: In recent years, the Wnt signalling pathway has been implicated in epithelial ovarian cancer and its members have potential as diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic targets. Here we investigated the role of two Wnt receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), ROR1 and ROR2, and their putative ligand, Wnt5a, in ovarian cancer.

Methods: Immunohistochemistry for ROR2 was performed in a large patient cohort, including benign controls, borderline tumours and epithelial ovarian cancer.

Primary synovial cell sarcoma of the kidney: case report and review of the literature.

Synovial cell sarcoma (SCS) of the kidney is a rare tumor entity with a poor prognosis. Morphologic and immunohistochemical characteristics may overlap with other more common neoplasms of the kidney. Therefore, the diagnosis of primary renal SCS not only requires the exclusion of similar tumor types, but also a confirmation of SYT-SSX gene fusion using molecular techniques.
