Tumors-to-tumor metastasis is an uncommon occurrence and can be a source of great diagnostic difficulty, especially when the donor tumor is undiagnosed. Here we report a case of a kidney resected for a primary neoplasm (oncocytoma) that harbored metastases from a clinically undiagnosed prostatic adenocarcinoma. The presence of the poorly differentiated metastasis within an otherwise typical oncocytoma in the absence of metastases in the surrounding nonneoplastic renal parenchyma resulted in a diagnostic dilemma. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a case in the English literature of a clinically undiagnosed prostatic adenocarcinoma metastatic to a renal oncocytoma identified on examination of the resected renal neoplasm.

Background: Epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT) is a rare and newly defined disease, which most commonly occurs in women of reproductive age and can be a sequela of any gestational event. ETT can be present in both intrauterine and extrauterine sites. Case report: A woman of reproductive age, without specific comorbidities and with a single pregnancy and natural childbirth eight years ago, was diagnosed initially with poorly differentiated pleomorphic leiomyosarcoma on the hemostatic uterine curettage. Conclusion: Our case highlights that ETT presents a diagnostic challenge due to its rarity and histologic resemblance to other pathologies. Misdiagnosis delays effective treatment and affects survival. To date, only 8 cases of ETT of the uterus without previous gestational event and normal human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) levels in a 60-year literature survey have been reported.

Aim: To identify the rate of incidental prostate cancer in patients undergone Transurethral resection of prostate(TURP) over a period of 5 years in our center. Methods: A Retrospective review was conducted using Histopathological department database on all TURP specimens over a period of 5 years from January 2015 to December 2019. Results: Out of 570 cases of TURP during our study period, 1.9% had incidental prostate cancer. Most of these positive cases had a Gleasons score of 10, which represent poorly differentiated Adenocarcinoma. Conclusion: The value of pathologic review of TURP specimens is limited but a detailed review helps to reduce under detection of prostate cancer.

Tumor To Tumor Metastasis

Tumor-to-tumor metastasis is an unusual phenomenon wherein one distinct malignancy is present within the substance of another independent tumor. This event is rare, difficult to detect with imaging, and, due to conflicting terminology in the literature, can be challenging to classify. This article reports the first documented case of tumor-to-tumor metastasis involving prostatic adenocarcinoma and myxoid liposarcoma, reviews the available literature for carcinoma metastatic to sarcoma, and discusses the current situation within the context of the established criteria for the classification of combination tumors.

Invasive fungal mastoiditis is a rare entity, seen almost entirely in immunocompromized patients. It has been reported primarily in patients with leukaemia and more recently with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. A literature search revealed only a few reports in diabetic patients, in whom the invasive fungus was identified as mucormycosis in all cases. We report the first case in the English literature of invasive septate fungal mastoiditis in a diabetic patient with intact tympanic membranes.

Pyogenic Sacroiliitis

Introduction: Pyogenic sacroiliitis accounts for 12% of all cases of septic arthritis with less than 200 cases reported in the English literature since the beginning of the twentieth century. Considerable delay between presentation and diagnosis is seen because of unusual presentation and diagnostic dilemma. Cultures of joint fluid usually grow Staphylococcus aureus. Magnetic resonance imaging has been found to be the most useful imaging modality in diagnosis. Being very uncommon disease in children, the key to successful management is early diagnosis in which computed tomography (CT), bone scans, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings play a crucial role. If the diagnosis is established promptly, most patients can be managed successfully with antimicrobial therapy with excellent prognosis. Most reported cases required prolonged antimicrobial therapy of six to nine weeks. Presented here is a child with pyogenic sacroiliitis managed at our hospital (Universal College of Medical Sciences Teaching Hospital-UCMSTH) and review of the literature on this relatively rare diagnosis. Journal of Universal College of Medical SciencesVol. 6, No. 1, 2018, Page: 62-65
