Published: April 2021

Understanding variations in uretero-pelvic anatomy is of paramount importance from a surgical, radiological and academic perspective. We report an unheard renal hilar pelvic anatomy where the renal pelvis presented as the most anterior hilar structure. We believe an embryologic event in the renal ascent and rotation can account for this unusual presentation.

Primary intrarenal hemangioma - A series of 39 cases.

Ann Diagn Pathol

January 2025

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, USA. Electronic address:

Intrarenal hemangiomas lack concise clinicopathologic information, due to the predominance of single case reports and inclusion of other vascular neoplasms and hemangiomas of perirenal, hilar, and renal vein origin. Herein, in this multi-institutional study we evaluate clinicopathologic features of 39 intrarenal hemangiomas. The median age was 62 years (range = 27-94 years; 2:1 male to female ratio), with left-sided predominance (left = 21, right = 13; one case was bilateral).

Introduction: Castleman disease (CD) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder having a variegated clinical presentation. Diagnosis of the idiopathic HIV- and HHV8-negative multicentric CD (iMCD) subtype poses a challenge given its non-specific clinical manifestations. iMCD presents as diffuse lymphadenopathy with inflammatory manifestations, primarily driven by interleukin-6 (IL-6).

Background: Acute tubular injury is one of the main causes of acute tubular injury (acute kidney injury ) in patients with COVID-19 infection. Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is also one of the autoimmune complications of COVID-19. However, AIHA accompanied by acute tubulointerstitial nephritis (ATIN) caused by SARS-CoV-2 is rarely reported.

Article Synopsis
  • A 75-year-old woman was referred to the hospital due to dizziness, with CT scans revealing generalized lymphadenopathy and a 10 cm tumor in her left kidney, leading to a diagnosis of Hodgkin's lymphoma and left renal cell carcinoma.
  • After starting chemotherapy for the lymphoma, metastases from the renal cancer appeared after a year, prompting a shift to combination therapy with Pembrolizumab and Axitinib.
  • After experiencing gastritis and severe thrombocytopenia as side effects, treatment was adjusted, and she is currently on Cabozantinib with no recurrence of previous complications.
