Renal tumors in young adults: a single-center experience from a developing country.

Purpose: To determine the pattern and outcome of renal tumors in young adults in a large surgical series in Pakistan.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 133 young adults (age: ≥ 16 to ≤ 40 years) with 136 renal tumors, who underwent surgical treatment for suspected renal cancer from 1994 till 2010. The clinical and pathological parameters were determined and their impact on final outcome was analyzed.

Histopathology of surgically treated renal tumours in young adults: a developing country perspective.

Background: There is no data on the histopathological characteristics of renal tumours in young adults in Pakistan.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analysed 133 young adults (age: 16 to ≤40 years) who underwent nephrectomy for suspected renal cancer from 1994 till July 2010. The demographical and pathological parameters were determined from original surgical biopsy reports and case files, and analysed.

Primitive neuroectodermal tumor/Ewing's sarcoma in adult uro-oncology: A case series from a developing country.

Peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor/Ewing's sarcoma (PNET/EWS) is primarily a tumor of soft tissues and bones. Primary localization of PNET/EWS in genitourinary organs is rare. No data on this localization of PNET/EWS are available in literature from Pakistan.
