Extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) is the formation of blood cells outside the bone marrow, typically occurring in response to chronic anemia or bone marrow dysfunction. While EMH is most commonly observed in the liver, spleen, and lymph nodes, its occurrence in the kidney is exceedingly rare. In this case report, we are presenting a case of a 49-year-old male diagnosed with polycythemia vera who had an incidental right renal mass, which was histo-pathologically proven as extramedullary hematopoiesis in the right kidney mimicking lymphoma.

This article presents our experience regarding survival benefits in inoperable intermediate stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and advanced stage HCC treated with I-lipiodol. This is a retrospective study of intermediate stage HCC (Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer [BCLC] stage B) not responding to prior treatment and/or advanced stage HCC (BCLC stage C) treated with I-lipiodol. I-lipiodol was injected into the hepatic artery through transfemoral route.

Context: Unresectable colorectal hepatic metastases can be treated with radioembolization.

Aims: The aim of this study is to analyze the response and survival benefits of transarterial radioembolization (TARE) with Iodine-131 (I) Lipiodol for hepatic metastases from gastrointestinal malignancies.

Settings And Design: Retrospective study of 20 patients with pathologically proven hepatic metastases from primary gastrointestinal malignancies referred for palliative therapy with TARE.

Background: Prostate cancer is biologically and clinically a heterogeneous disease that makes imaging evaluation challenging. One of the important challenges in this cancer is to detect recurrent disease. Biochemical response using Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) and Imaging using several PET tracers have poor sensitivity and specificity.

A novel series of coumarinyl Mannich bases (3a-1) have been synthesized by reacting 3-acetyl coumarin (1) with various substituted secondary amines (2a-1) in presence of paraformaldehyde. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HRMS (high resolution mass spectral) data. Title compounds were screened for in vivo acute anti-inflammatory activity using the carrageenan-induced rat paw edema assay model.
