Extracranial, Extragonadal Germ Cell Tumors: A Multicenter Australian Case Series

Asia-Pacific Journal of Clinical Oncology, EarlyView.
Extragonadal germ cell tumors (EGCTs) are rare, with limited prospective data to guide treatment or inform prognosis. Incidence and treatment patterns of EGCT in Australia reflect international data and practices. Compared to testicular primaries, the prognosis of EGCT is poor, especially for primary mediastinal non‐seminoma.

Cytochrome P450 1A1 influences obesity‐induced pulmonary hypertension

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose The contribution of obesity to pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) pathophysiology remains poorly understood. Adipose tissue synthesises estrogens via cytochrome P450 (CYP) 19A1 (aromatase), whereas circulating estrogens are metabolised in the lung by CYP1A1.

CT in Retroperitoneal Fibrosis [PDF]

Journal of Urology, 1981
Of 23 cases of surgically proven retroperitoneal fibrosis evaluated by computed tomography (CT), 11 were examined preoperatively, while 12 were examined by CT in a retrospective study. The fibrosis appeared as a prevertebral retroperitoneal mass or as a fibrous sheet covering the central vessels and the ureters in 15 patients.

Papillary renal cell carcinoma, formerly known as Type 2: a single institutional study addressing histologic and molecular features

Histopathology, EarlyView.
Papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC) accounts for 15%–20% of RCC cases and is the second most common histologic subtype of RCC. In contrast to other common RCC subtypes, there continues to be ongoing debate about how to classify RCCs with papillary architecture and eosinophilic cytoplasm, given the heterogeneity of histologic, IHC and molecular ...

Retroperitoneal fibrosis masquerading as para-aortic lymphadenopathy on F-18 FDG PET/CT in a patient with carcinoma cervix

World Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 2011
We present a case of carcinoma cervix found to have a soft tissue lesion in retroperitoneal region with intense FDG uptake. However, this FDG uptake was false positive as the final diagnosis was retroperitoneal fibrosis.
