The Correlation of Histopathologic Parameters With Mismatch Repair Protein-deficient Subgroups and MLH1 Methylation in Endometrial Carcinomas.

There are limited data regarding the correlation of clinical and pathologic parameters with mismatch repair (MMR) protein-deficient subgroups and methylation status. In this study, we analyzed the status of MMR proteins in resection specimens of 198 consecutive endometrial carcinomas and the methylation status in tumors with MLH1 and PMS2 deficiency. We, therefore, assessed the correlation of clinical and pathologic parameters with MMR protein-deficient subgroups.

Nontraumatic Myositis Ossificans as an Uncommon Cause of Scoliosis: Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Background: A 5-year-old pediatric patient developed scoliosis associated with nontraumatic myositis ossificans in the lumbar region. Although there have been reports in literature of syndromes leading to widespread muscle ossifications resulting in shoulder deformities owing to impaired movement in the facet joints, to the best of our knowledge there has been no report of scoliosis associated with myositis ossificans.

Case Description: The case presented is of a 5-year-old girl who developed scoliosis associated with nontraumatic myositis ossificans in the lumbar region.

Metastatic malignant melanoma of the urinary bladder: A case report and review of the literature.

Metastatic bladder tumors constitute <5% of all bladder tumors and metastatic malignant melanoma of the urinary bladder is very rare. We present a case report of a metastatic malignant melanoma of the urinary bladder. A 70-year-old woman without any apparent significant clinical history was admitted to the Department of Urology for gross hematuria.
