1/985. Amyopathic dermatomyositis associated with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder.Transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder is the most common tumor of the urinary tract. However, it has only been reported twice in the literature to be associated with the paraneoplastic syndrome dermatomyositis. We report a case of amyopathic dermatomyositis in a patient whose painless gross hematuria was due to transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder as well as review this association.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/985. Cytologic diagnosis of metastatic ovarian adenocarcinoma in the urinary bladder: a case report and review of the literature.A 53-yr-old woman with a 13-mo history of recurrent ovarian papillary serous adenocarcinoma presented with persistent microscopic hematuria. The patient was undergoing chemotherapy for her recurrent ovarian tumor when she was referred to the urology service for microscopic hematuria. An intravenous pyelogram was normal. cystoscopy was performed, as well as a urinary bladder washing and mucosal biopsies for examination. adenocarcinoma similar to the patient's primary ovarian tumor was detected in both cytology and histopathology specimens. Ovarian carcinoma comprises 1.3-4.0% of all metastatic neoplasms to the urinary bladder and is an important consideration in the differential diagnosis of a cytologic finding of adenocarcinoma in urine specimens of female patients, where it accounts for an even higher percentage of cases (1 of 3 adenocarcinoma diagnoses in a series of 4,677 urine specimens from female patients).- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6keywords = urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/985. Fine needle aspiration diagnosis of transitional cell carcinoma metastatic to the brain. A case report.BACKGROUND: Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) rarely metastasizes to the brain. In this case, aspiration of a cystic brain lesion was performed and a cytologic diagnosis made. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of TCC metastatic to the brain diagnosed by fine needle aspiration. CASE: A 72-year-old male with a past medical history of invasive TCC, colonic adenocarcinoma and prostatic adenocarcinoma presented with a large, right, temporal, cystic mass. Fine needle aspiration was performed intraoperatively, and a cytologic diagnosis of metastatic TCC was rendered and confirmed by subsequent tissue examination. CONCLUSION: Intraoperative fine needle aspiration of cystic tumors can be useful in identifying the primary site. The cytologic features of intracerebral metastatic TCC can differ significantly from those observed in urinary tract specimens of high grade TCC. A predominance of large fragments of malignant cells with numerous mitotic figures and apoptotic bodies was seen in the former. The background showed high grade, single transitional cells similar to those observed in urinary tract samples of TCC.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/985. Inflammatory pseudotumor of the urinary bladder with aberrant expression of cytokeratin. Report of a case with cytologic, immunocytochemical and cytogenetic findings.BACKGROUND: Cytologic descriptions of inflammatory pseudotumor of the urinary bladder are exceedingly rare. We describe here an additional case of this disease, including its cytologic features and aberrant expression of cytokeratin. CASE: A 35-year-old male presented with gross hematuria but no history of bladder surgery. urine cytology revealed a few atypical spindle cells suspicious for sarcoma. Histologically, the lesion consisted of spindle cells of various sizes and shapes, proliferating in irregularly running bundles, but no severe nuclear atypia or pathologic mitosis was found. Immunocytochemically, these cells were unexpectedly positive for cytokeratin as well as for vimentin and muscle actin. All metaphase cells examined revealed a normal male karyotype. CONCLUSION: Inflammatory pseudotumor must be distinguished in particular from leiomyosarcoma and spindle cell carcinoma. To avoid an erroneous diagnosis, recognition of this entity is important, together with careful histologic examination and awareness of the possible aberrant expression of cytokeratin.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/985. Transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder in children.We present a case of transitional cell tumor of the urinary bladder in an 8-year-old boy and discuss certain aspects of the epidemiology, aetiology, prognosis, treatment and follow-up. We review the published cases in the literature since 1992, and compare them with the classic series.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/985. Quadruple cancer including bilateral breasts, Vater's papilla, and urinary bladder: report of a case.We herein report a rare case of quadruple carcinoma with heterochronous bilateral breast cancer, cancer of Vater's papilla, and cancer of the urinary bladder, which were all curatively resected. A 62-year-old woman previously underwent right and left modified radical mastectomies heterochronously. Recently, a dilatation of the lower bile duct, diagnosed as cancer of Vater's papilla, was resected by a pancreatoduodenectomy. hematuria during surgery led to the discovery of a solid bladder tumor. The tumor was resected by a transurethral resection. The histopathologic findings differed for all four lesions. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course and to date has shown no recurrence.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/985. Pituitary metastasis from carcinoma of the urinary bladder mimicking pituitary apoplexy--case report.A 70-year-old male presented with pituitary metastasis from transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder manifesting as sudden headache, transient unconsciousness, and visual disturbance mimicking apoplexy of pituitary adenoma. Computed tomography showed a suprasellar tumor with intratumoral and intraventricular hemorrhage. magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated an intra- and suprasellar mass lesion mimicking pituitary adenoma. diabetes insipidus developed soon after. The tumor was subtotally removed. Histological examination revealed transitional cell carcinoma. An intratumoral hemorrhage may be associated with a pituitary metastasis if the patient presents with symptoms such as pituitary apoplexy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/985. Nephrogenic adenoma of the bladder: ultrasound demonstration. A case report.A 4-year-old girl developed a space-occupying lesion in the bladder. This was demonstrated by US after resection of a huge ureterocoele and bilateral re-implantation of ureters at 3 months of age and after three episodes of urinary tract infection. The mass developed outside the field of surgery and was removed endoscopically. histology revealed a nephrogenic adenoma. US findings have not been emphasised previously. US should be useful in the detection of such lesions and for surveillance of recurrence.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/985. A unique cause of unconscious urinary incontinence.The authors present a case of a healthy 55-year-old woman with a 1-year history of vaginal malodor and perineal dampness. A pyridium (phenazopyridine) pad test revealed a well-defined stain area no greater than 3 cm. Cystoscopic examination revealed multiple multilobulated polypoid neoplasms, which we feel probably represent pedunculated hemangiomas. Removal of the neoplasms cured the dampness, malodor and recurrent vaginal infections. We submit this case as a unique cause of extraurethral incontinence.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 4.1283125376512keywords = urinary, urinary incontinence, incontinence (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/985. Metastatic breast cancer diagnosed during a work-up for urinary incontinence: a case report.breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women in the USA and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women. breast cancer metastases to the bladder are unusual but have been reported occasionally in the literature. The majority of the reports describe bladder metastases presenting with symptomatology or occurring in the context of disseminated disease. We present the case of an 87-year-old woman with a history of breast cancer and negative routine work-up for metastatic disease. She was referred to the urogynecology division in our institution because of complaints of urinary incontinence and urinary urgency. A urethrocystoscopy revealed suspicious bladder mucosal lesions that were biopsied. The pathology findings, when compared to the original cancer specimens, were consistent with metastatic disease. This case suggests that in patients with a history of breast cancer, even subtle urinary symptoms should be thoroughly evaluated.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 7.1507146998197keywords = urinary, urinary incontinence, incontinence (Clic here for more details about this article) |
