The optimal treatment of adult-onset Wilms tumors (WTs) in elderly patients is a debated area, as pediatric protocols are thought to carry unacceptable toxicity. We treated a 62-year-old female with good performance status and Stage IV (T1b N1 M1) favorable histology WT using pediatric adjuvant and salvage chemoradiation protocols. Though she experienced nodal relapse and both adjuvant and salvage treatment were discontinued early due to toxicity, she obtained excellent oncologic outcomes, having remained disease-free for 32 months. We recommend considering pediatric protocols for elderly WT patients with good performance status, anticipating dose reductions and possible early chemotherapy termination.

IgA vasculitis with nephritis accompanied by pulmonary tuberculosis: a case report.
CEN Case Rep

Department of Medical Science and Cardiorenal Medicine, Yokohama City University Graduate School of Medicine, Yokohama, Japan.
A 69-year-old Japanese man developed abdominal pain, purpura, proteinuria, and hematuria while receiving treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis. A skin biopsy revealed IgA-positive leukocytoclastic vasculitis, and a renal biopsy showed IgA-positive mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis with crescent formation. Based on these findings, we diagnosed IgA vasculitis with nephritis (IgAVN) and initiated treatment.

Cerebellar mutism syndrome (also known as posterior fossa syndrome) has been mostly seen in pediatric patients after surgery for neoplastic disease and is characterized by mutism, with variable symptoms such as emotional lability, ataxia, apraxia, and hypotonia. While the mechanism is not precisely defined, it is thought to result from disconnections between the cortical and cerebellar brain networks. Presentation in adult patients is rare, with various etiologies including posterior fossa ischemia, hemorrhage, and tumors being most reported.

Department of Neurology, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Diagnosis and Treatment of Major Neurological Diseases, National Key Clinical Department and Key Discipline of Neurology, The First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou, 510080, China.
Background And Objectives: Vanishing white matter disease (VWMD) is an autosomal recessive leukoencephalopathy caused by mutations in the EIF2B1-5 genes, typically rare in adulthood. We present a case of adult-onset VWMD with a novel EIF2B2 mutation.
Methods: We collected the patient's clinical data, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) results, laboratory tests, imaging features, genetic analysis, and follow-up data over a 4-year period.

Background And Aims: Limited data are available on long-term disease outcomes in elderly-onset (EO) inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) from well-defined population-based cohorts. Our aim was to analyze incidence, disease course, surgery rates and therapeutic strategies of EO IBD in a prospective population-based cohort.
Methods: EO IBD was defined if diagnosis was established at ≥60years of age.
