The most common histological type of urinary bladder cancer is urothelial carcinoma (UC). Clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCA) of the urinary bladder is a rare histologic subtype of adenocarcinoma in the urinary tract. The tumor primarily affects women and has histomorphological features resembling CCA of the female genital tract (or Müllerian origin). Clear cell adenocarcinoma consists of cells with abundant clear cytoplasm, arranged in solid, glandular, or tubulocystic patterns. Patients typically present with gross hematuria, dysuria, and discharge. In this study, we report a case of a 50-year-old male, presenting with gross hematuria, which was subsequently diagnosed with CCA at our pathology department. Furthermore, we provide a short systematic review of the literature for this rare histopathological entity and a brief discussion about its morphological and immunohistochemical (IHC) characteristics.

Among contributors to diffusible signaling are portal systems which join two capillary beds through connecting veins. Portal systems allow diffusible signals to be transported in high concentrations directly from one capillary bed to the other without dilution in the systemic circulation. Two portal systems have been identified in the brain.

The immune and microbial factors that permit GI colonization remain unknown. Male sex is correlated with enhanced nasal carriage, skin and soft tissue infections, and bacterial sepsis.

If the conidia are not cleared, they secrete large quantities of hydrolytic enzymes and toxins as they grow, resulting in extensive damage to pulmonary tissue. Stromal fibroblasts are central responders to tissue damage in many organs, but their functional response to pulmonary injury caused by has not been explored.

The progression of tumors has been demonstrated to have a strong correlation with ferroptosis. Bis(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl) sulfone (TMBPS) has been shown to effectively inhibit the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but its underlying mechanism is not clear. In this study, ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) was employed to explore whether the death of HCC cells caused by TMBPS is related to ferroptosis.

Background: Perivascular epithelioid-cell tumour (PEComa) is a rare mesenchymal tumour with low malignant potential. PEComa can be found in many organs throughout the body. In the urinary system, it can be found in the prostate, bladder, and kidney.
