Introduction Bilateral renal cell carcinomas with different histological types are rare. We report herein the first description of bilateral renal carcinomas with clear cell renal cell carcinoma and mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma occurring synchronously. Case presentation A 62‐year‐old man was referred to our hospital with bilateral renal tumors. The tumors on each side showed different findings from both contrast‐enhanced computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The tumors were partially resected. Histopathological and immunohistochemical examination of the left renal tumor diagnosed clear cell renal carcinoma. Histopathological and immunohistochemical examination of the right renal tumor diagnosed mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma. Conclusion We encountered a case with clear cell renal cell carcinoma and mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma occurring simultaneously in bilateral kidneys.
Introduction: Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the prostate is an extremely rare tumor with poor prognosis. Squamous cell carcinoma of the prostate is estimated to comprise less than 1% of all prostate carcinomas. We report herein a case with clinical response to docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil chemotherapy with radiotherapy, in a patient with metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the prostate. Case presentation: A 74-year-old man consulted with frequent urination. The prostate-specific antigen level was 1.62 ng/mL. Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging showed prostate imaging and reporting and data system category 5 for the whole prostate and biopsy was performed. The pathological diagnosis was pure squamous cell carcinoma of the prostate. fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography showed fluorodeoxyglucose accumulation in the whole prostate and multiple pelvic lymph nodes. Four cycles of docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil regimen were administrated along with radiotherapy. The patient showed a marked response with no major adverse events. Conclusion:The present case suggests the potential of docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5fluorouracil chemotherapy with radiotherapy for squamous cell carcinoma of the prostate.
Background Ewing’s sarcoma is a malignant neoplasm that mainly occurs in skeletal tissue but can rarely arise in soft tissues. Recently, small round cell tumors (including Ewing’s sarcoma) caused by chromosomal translocations have been collectively termed Ewing’s sarcoma family of tumors. We report a rare case of primary adrenal Ewing’s sarcoma family of tumors with tumor thrombus. Case presentation A 22-year-old Asian woman was referred to our hospital with a left retroperitoneal tumor 19 cm in diameter. Tumor thrombus was identified from the left adrenal vein to the inferior vena cava, infiltrating the right atrium. Total tumor excision with left adrenalectomy, nephrectomy, and thrombectomy was performed under hypothermic circulatory arrest, followed by seven courses of adjuvant chemotherapy. The patient has shown no signs of recurrence as of 26 months postoperatively. Conclusion Radical surgery combined with systemic chemotherapy may contribute to good prognosis in patients with primary adrenal Ewing’s sarcoma family of tumors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
