Cystic nephroma is a rare benign renal lesion with non-specific presenting symptoms. This tumour has a bimodal age distribution presenting in children between 3 months and 2 years and in adults over 30 years of age. There is male preponderance with a 2:1 male to female ratio in the childhood whereas it is commoner in females in adults. It is uncommon in the age-group of 5 years-30 years. We describe a case of cystic nephroma in a 25-year-old female which was managed by partial nephrectomy.

A Unique Case of Cystic Partially Differentiated Nephroblastoma Associated With Botryoid Intralobar Nephrogenic Rests.
Pediatr Dev Pathol
December 2024
Department of Pathology, Sidra Medicine, Doha, Qatar.
Cystic partially differentiated nephroblastoma (CPDN) is a rare pediatric renal tumor composed of multiple cystic spaces divided by septa containing immature nephrogenic elements. The presence of expansile solid areas in the septa of such a lesion indicates an alternative diagnosis of Wilms tumor (WT). We present a unique case of CPDN associated with grossly visible polypoid proliferations, which histologically correspond to botryoid growth of intralobar nephrogenic rests.

Article Synopsis
- Extrarenal teratoid Wilms' tumor (TWT) is a rare type of cancer with complex histology, making diagnosis challenging; the case discussed involves an 8-year-old girl with a mediastinal mass containing nephroblastomatous elements.
- Surgical resection revealed a mature cystic teratoma mixed with nephroblastoma, and immunohistochemical tests confirmed the diagnosis, leading to a smooth recovery for the patient.
- This case emphasizes the importance of detailed histopathological analysis in distinguishing TWT from other tumors, underlining the necessity for long-term monitoring due to potential recurrence.
Conservative Management of a Forearm Refracture With the Titanium Elastic Nailing System (TENS) In Situ in a 14-Year-Old Male: A Case Report.

Orthopaedics and Traumatology, University Hospital Galway, Galway, IRL.
This case report presents a 14-year-old male patient with a medical history of left nephrectomy for cystic nephroma and resolved hypertension, who sustained a right both-bone middle shaft forearm fracture while playing football. The injury was managed initially with manipulation under anesthesia, the insertion of the Titanium Elastic Nailing System (TENS), and the application of an above-elbow cast. Clinical and radiographic reviews confirmed fracture healing after seven weeks, allowing for cast removal and advising the patient to avoid contact sports.

Solitary fibrous tumor is an uncommon mesenchymal neoplasm, initially described in the pleura and infrequently found in the kidney. It is characterized by haphazardly arranged spindle cells, staghorn vasculature, coexpression of CD34 and signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6), and a NAB2::STAT6 gene fusion. We report a 64-year-old woman who presented with a 2.
