• Long Non-coding RNAs in Castration-resistant and Neuroendocrine Prostate Cancer: Potential Role and Therapeutic Impact

  Kumari S. Prajapati, Atul K. Singh ... Sanjay Gupta

  Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy and leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men worldwide. The disease is heterogeneous in nature exhibiting various clinical subtypes and genetic/transcriptomic features. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcripts of more than 200 nucleotides that does not encode any protein and play important role in several biological processes as ...

• Multilocular Cystic Renal Neoplasm-Low Malignant Potential (MCRN-LMP) - Review

  Sunil Vitthalrao Jagtap

  Multilocular Cystic Renal Neoplasm of Low Malignant Potential (MCRN-LMP), previously known as multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma as a rare variant of cystic kidney. It is composed of multiple cysts separated by thin septa covered with clear cells with no expansile growth. The termMCRN-LMPshould be used exclusively to identify a cystic kidney lesion with a small clusters of neoplastic clear c...

• Vascular Neoplasms and Related Lesions of Kidney

  Michelle S. Lin, Jae Y. Ro

  Vascular tumors arising in the kidney are distinctly uncommon occurrences and have not been well-characterized in the literature; most cases have been documented in single reports or small case series. These tumors often exhibit nonspecific clinical and radiologic features and may mimic malignant epithelial tumors such as renal cell carcinoma (RCC) on imaging studies, necessitating nephrectomy wit...

• Histopathological Review of Renal Pelvic Tumours of Balkan Nephropathy Cases from Southern Serbia

  Diana Herman, Goran Stanojević ... Peter Mantle

  Urothelial tumour frequently associates with atrophied kidney pelvis in Balkan endemic nephropathy but histopathology illustration lacks both definition and immune profile for differential diagnosis from renal cell carcinoma. Histology sections of anonymized archived renal tumours and associated kidney of eight local Balkan nephropathy patients were stained by haematoxylin and eosin, and immune pr...

• Multilocular Cystic Renal Neoplasm of Low Malignant Potential: Mimicker of Cystic Clear Cell Carcinoma – Urologist’s Perspective

  Harish Challa, Hariharasudhan Sekar ... Natarajan Kumaresan

  Multilocular cystic renal neoplasm of low malignant potential (MCRNLMP) is a rare subtype of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) accounting for 2-4% of RCC. It is defined as a neoplasm that is composed entirely of numerous cysts surrounded by fibrous capsule and septa containing clear cells without expansile growth or mural nodules (WHO 2016). The purpose of this manuscript is to highlight tha...

• Histologic Variants of Acinar Prostate Carcinomas: Clinicopathologic Importance

  Harmanjot Singh, Ziad M. El-Zaatari, Jae Y. Ro

  Acinar carcinoma comprises more than 90% of prostatic adenocarcinomas and is characterized by a small gland proliferation with an infiltrative growth pattern. The numerous, variably-defined histological variants of prostatic adenocarcinoma can prove to be diagnostic challenges and show prognostic differences when compared to the usual acinar carcinoma, thus emphasizing the importance in accurate r...

• Histopathological Variant Types Diagnosed in Prostate Surgery

  Semih Aktaş, Hikmet Köseoğlu ... Sevim Baykal Koca

  Rare pathological variants may only be diagnosed after the surgical treatments applied. We aimed to determine the rare variant pathologies and their frequencies diagnosed in prostate surgeries performed in routine patient care. We retrospectively analyzed hospital pathology records for all prostate surgeries performed namely TUR-P, open prostatectomy, and radical prostatectomy between October 2014...
