Soft-Tissue Sarcomas of the Genitourinary Tract with Radiologic-Pathologic Correlation.

Genitourinary tract soft-tissue sarcomas are rare neoplasms with varied pathologic and clinical features. While some of these tumors may be aggressive high-grade malignancies, others are low grade with a relatively better prognosis. Given that the grade and extent of the disease are important prognostic factors in these tumors, timely diagnosis is crucial.

Initial assessment of "Gissell's stain": A novel histopathological method for the identification of Helicobacter pylori.

Introduction And Objectives: The histopathological identification of Helicobacter pylori using the routine method (haematoxylin-eosin) is not only very difficult but also has low sensitivity. Giemsa staining is often used in addition, but different protocols do not produce homogeneous results. Furthermore, the Gold Standard recommended by the European Helicobacter Pylori Study Group has been applied in very few studies, thus resulting in uncertain outcomes.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumour of the rectum and intestinal obstruction: case report.

We report the case of a 75-year-old female patient with a big tumour in the lower rectum with intestinal obstruction and lower gastrointestinal bleeding history who underwent a tumour biopsy under laparotomy and end colostomy at another hospital in Peru. She came to our institution for clinical evaluation with a pathology result of a rectal gastrointestinal stromal tumour. An extra elevator abdominoperineal resection was performed with tumour-free margins.
