ABSTRACT
An 85-year-old woman with gross hematuria for 10 days was presented to Wuxi No.2 People′s Hospital on Dec 10th, 2018.The images showed bladder mass. Pathological analysis of transurethrally resected tissue showed primary malignant melanoma with less pigmentations of urinary bladder. Without any following treatment, it grew again after 17 months. After the second surgery, she died of cachexia half a month later. Primary malignant melanoma with less pigmentations of urinary bladder is rare. It is vulnerable to misdiagnosis without immunohistochemical staining. The prognosis is poor.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI), blood lipid level and cancer de?tection in prostate biopsy. Methods A total of 214 patients undergoing a prostate biopsy during 2013.2—2014.8 were re?viewed retrospectively. They were divided into prostate cancer and non-cancer groups by biopsy results. The differences of age, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, prostate volume (PV), blood lipid level and BMI were analyzed between two groups. Risk factors for cancer detection of biopsy were also analyzed. Results Compared with non-cancer patients, pros?tate cancer patients were older, had higher level of PSA and BMI, but smaller PV and lower level of HDL-C ( P<0.05). Lo?gistic regression analysis showed that older, higher level of PSA and BMI were risk factors for prostate biopsy positive, but larger PV and higher level of HDL-C were protective factors (P<0.05). Conclusion Comprehensive assessment of BMI and blood lipid levels can provide important reference for prostate cancer screening at early time and establishment of pros?tate biopsy scheme, which also provide significant evidence for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer at early stage for high risk population.
