Lipid-Rich Variant of Urothelial Carcinoma Presenting as the Dominant Morphology in a Recurrent Tumor After Local Therapy

Patel, Archi, Velilla, Rowena E., Shurbaji, Muhammad Salah 23 April 2018 (has links)
Objective: Rare co-existance of disease or pathology Background: The lipid-rich variant is a rare and aggressive type of urothelial carcinoma (UCa), with less than 40 cases reported in the literature. This variant usually presents as an advanced-stage primary tumor. Case Report: We report the case of a 61-year-old man with previous history of T1 high-grade conventional urothelial carcinoma treated with local therapy. The patient later presented with a new 6.5-cm exophytic bladder mass. Histopathological examination revealed a T2 urothelial carcinoma of the lipid-rich variant. Retrospective review of the previous biopsies confirmed conventional high-grade urothelial car0cinoma, but scattered rare individual or small clusters of cells that resemble the lipid-rich variant urothelial carcinoma were also noted. Conclusions: The findings in this case suggest that the differential sensitivity of conventional urothelial carcinoma to local therapy may have allowed the lipid-rich variant to predominate in the recurrence. Pathologists should be aware of the lipid-rich variant of urothelial carcinoma. The prognostic significance of rare lipoblast-like cells among predominantly conventional urothelial carcinoma may requires further study.

Prevalence and impact of urinary incontinence on quality of life among adult Kigali women.

Gashugi, Phophina Muhimpundu January 2004 (has links)
Urinary incontinence has already been identified worldwide for years as a health problem affecting essentially women, which can interfere with their overall quality of life. However in Rwanda, this problem has yet not been addressed adequately either because of lack of expertise, or because of cultural traditions associated with taboos among women. Social conditions of women facing this problem hinder them from seeking possibly adequate medical assistance. It is important that this problem be addressed because it may lead to disability, social seclusion, psychological stress and economic burdens. This study was a pioneer one, intended to diagnose the extent of the problem through determining the prevalence of urinary incontinence as well as its impact on the quality of life among women. The study will hopefully be followed by the promotion of physiotherapy to tackle the problem and therefore reduce the number of people suffering from urinary incontinence.

Different scanning electron microscopy (SEM) processing methods resulted in differing observations of early urothelial changes induced by exposure to this herbicide. This study evaluated the influence of SEM processing methods on the detection of urothelial alterations induced by diuron. Male Wistar rats were divided into 3 groups: control (basal diet), 7.1% Sodium Saccharin (NaS) (positive control) and 2500 ppm diuron, and fed for 7 days or 15 weeks. Urinary bladders were fixed with Bouin’s or glutaraldehyde fixative and processed by critical point drying (CPD) or by hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) for comparison of the cytotoxic and proliferative changes induced by diuron in the urothelium. Histological and cell proliferation evaluations were also performed. After seven days, no differences in the incidence of histological urothelial lesions or labeling indices were detected among the groups; however, the incidence of urothelial lesions after 15 weeks was significantly increased in the animals fed diuron or NaS. After seven days or 15 weeks, the severity of urothelial alterations was significantly higher in animals fed with diuron. Both fixative and drying methods allowed for the identification of prenecrotic swollen superficial cells in the urothelium after seven days exposure to 2500 ppm diuron. Our results confirmed that the presence of prenecrotic swollen cells in the urothelium is an early key event due to diuron cytotoxicity and is not an artifact related to the processing methods used

Análise morfométrica das fibras colágenas e reticulínicas na extrofia vesical / Morphometric analysis of collagen and reticulin fibers in classical bladder exstrophy

Valle, Márcia Regina Dutra do 31 March 2004 (has links)
Trabalho prospectivo estudando a matriz extracelular da parede vesical em pacientes com extrofia vesical comparados ao grupo controle, pela microscopia óptica comum e luz polarizada com morfometria, quantificando-se as fibras colágenas e reticulínicas. Estudou-se 17 pacientes de ambos os sexos, biopsiando-se toda a parede vesical e empregando colorações HE, PS e Reticulina. Diferenças estatisticamente significantes foram notadas na análise quantitativa de fibras colágenas e reticulínicas o número de fibras colágenas foi significativamente maior e o número de fibras reticulínicas foi menor no grupo de pacientes com extrofia vesical quando comparado ao grupo controle. / A prospective study was done to evaluate the detrusor muscle\'s extracellular matrix in classical bladder exstrophy in comparison to a control group, by use of light microscopy and polarization method with morphometry, to quantify collagen and reticular fibers. Seventeen patients from both sexes were analysed and samples were obtained from the bladder and stained with Haematoxylin-eosin, Picrosirius red and the silver impregnation method. There were significant differences when comparing the quantity of collagen and reticular fibers. The collagen fibers were more abundant in the exstrophy bladders compared to controls, while the reticular fibers were present in smaller amounts.
