Obstructive voiding symptoms may exceptionally be caused by extrinsic compression. We herein present a singular case of a 68-year-old male that presented with urinary retention and underwent prostate trans-urethral resection (TUR) with histology showing benign prostatic hyperplasia admixed with large amounts of myelolipoma tissue. To the best of our knowledge this is the first reported presacral myelolipoma diagnosed at prostate trans-urethral resection (TUR). Computed tomography revealed a 13 x 9 cm presacral mass displacing the rectum. Even though myelolipomas are regarded as benign, this case behaved aggressively since compressive effect evolved to severe constipation and eventually required a cystectomy.

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to determine the prognostic value of depth of lamina propria invasion in initial high-grade T1 bladder tumors. Secondary aims were to evaluate the prognostic significance of concomitant carcinoma in situ (CIS) and the impact of bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) treatment as well as to assess the feasibility of microstaging by pathologists in a community setting. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Ninety-seven tumors were available for study and were substaged according to invasion superficial to, into or beyond the muscularis mucosae (MM) (T1a, T1b, T1c). Outcomes were compared by chi-square analysis. Recurrence-free and progression-free survival estimates were obtained by Kaplan-Meier analysis. BCG treatment impact and prognostic significance of CIS were also evaluated (Cox regression). RESULTS: T1 subclassification was possible in 87% (85/97) of cases: 38 (39.1%) T1a, 10 (10.3%) T1b, and 37 (38.1%) T1c; in 12 patients (12.4%) substaging was not possible. Mean age was 66.4 years and mean follow-up was 53 months. Recurrence rates were similar for all groups. By contrast, the progression rate for deep lamina propria-invasive tumors, i.e. T1b and T1c, was 34% (16/47) in comparison to 8% (3/38) for T1a (p=0.016). Progression-free intervals were significantly different in patients with (T1b, T1c) or without (T1a) deep lamina propria involvement (p=0.003), regardless of BCG treatment (p=0.02). BCG-treated patients (67 cases) showed a slight trend towards a better outcome, but differences were not significant. CIS was associated with more than 50% of cases that progressed. On multivariate analysis, depth of invasion and CIS remained two independent prognostic factors, increasing the hazards ratio of progression to 4.47 and 3.19 respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The depth of invasion in the TURB specimens is an independent prognostic factor for T1 bladder cancer even in BCG-treated patients. Associated CIS significantly increases the risk of progression in these patients. The percentage of cases that can be substaged according to the depth of lamina propria involvement increases over time with the collaboration between urologists and pathologists. Consequently, we support that routine pathological assessment of the level of MM invasion in patients with stage T1 bladder cancer should be included in the histopathological report.

OBJECTIVES: To describe 3 cases of tumors located in the kidney that may relate collecting (Bellini) duct carcinoma (CDC) to urothelial cell carcinoma (UC). We hypothesized that these distinct tumor types may share a common origin. CDC is a subtype of renal cell carcinoma associated with a highly aggressive course, poor prognosis, and limited response to immunotherapy, behaving similarly to UC. METHODS: We present 2 cases of CDC and 1 case of UC of the renal papilla. We compared the clinical presentation and survival rate, together with the radiologic, histologic, and immunostaining (including p53) findings, with strong emphasis on the similarities. RESULTS: One patient with CDC had a previous history of grade 3, Stage Ta bladder UC. The urothelial carcinoma from the kidney papilla (case 3) presented carcinoma in situ of the adjacent urothelium and displayed mixed characteristics with CDC, namely location, positive staining for Ulex europaeus and pyelonephritic changes. p53 staining showed marked positivity in the tumor of patient 2. Disease progression was rapid, with a median survival of 5.6 months (range 5 to 7). CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that the broad category of renal cell carcinoma includes a spectrum of lesions. In this range of diseases, CDC might be distinct from conventional renal cell carcinoma but share biologic features with UC, with the consequent implications for management. This association between CDC and UC may reflect the common embryologic origin of collecting duct and urothelial cells, since they derive from progressive branching of the mesonephric (wolffian) duct. Furthermore, the differential cytogenetic expression profiles suggest that the molecular events underlying the development of distal nephron and proximal tubule renal cancers are distinct.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the morphological diagnostic criteria and biology of the urinary bladder small cell carcinoma (SCC). METHODS: Study of 23 cases of bladder SCC, looking for the clinical presentation, pathological features and evolution, and review of 134 previously published cases. RESULTS: The SCC is infrequent (0.48-1%), 50% of them have areas of transitional cell carcinoma, supporting the metaplastic theory. The classic small cell morphology is the best diagnostic criterion. The neurone-specific enolase and chromogranin A are good markers, but not indispensable. An early metastatic incidence (56%) with a high mortality rate (68.7%), mostly before 2 years after the diagnosis, is the typical evolution. Only the patients with additional cis-platinum-based chemotherapy have better prognosis. CONCLUSION: The pathologist should watch out for the presence of SCC and the urologist should consider the possibility of combined treatment for these cases.
