Osseous metaplasia in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the kidney

Chondroid and osseous metaplasia in an incidental type II papillary renal cell carcinoma with extensive solid areas: an unraveled molecular character

Chondroid and osseous metaplasia in a Type II Papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC) with extensive solid areas is a complex histological combination that has not been reported before. A 21 years old male presented with a comminuted fracture of right femur. On hematological investigations he was found to have low RBC count and hemoglobin. Radiological examination revealed an incidental, exophytic complex solid and cystic, mass lesion measuring 7 x 6.5 x 4.9 cm with thickened walls, septation and calcification. It was completely replacing upper pole of the left kidney with extension into perinephric fat. Enlarged para aortic and hilar nodes with necrosis were also noted. Radiological diagnosis was infectious processes such as tuberculosis versus malignancy. Surgical intervention comprising left partial nephrectomy was done. Histopathology and immunohistochemical analysis yielded the above diagnosis. Cytogenetic studies did not reveal gain of chromosome 7 and/or 17 or loss of chromosome Y, a characteristic genetic profile of PRCC. This case could be representative of a unique histological variant of PRCC in which the molecular profile yet needs to be unraveled.

A case of ossifying papillary renal cell carcinoma

Osseous metaplasia can occur in renal cell carcinomas. We report a case of a 52-year-old lady who presented with hematuria. Ossification associated with a renal cell carcinoma was demonstrated on computed tomography urography and confirmed by histopathologic examination.

Osseous Metaplasia in Castleman's Disease: A Case Report

Background. Castleman's disease is a benign lymphoproliferative disorder. The disease may be localized or multicentric. Three histologic variants are recognized: hyaline vascular, plasma cell, and mixed types. Case. A 20-year-old man presented with large left axillary mass. The histologic examination of the resected mass showed follicular pattern with large nodules of mantle cells arranged concentrically around atrophic and vascularized germinal centers. There was also some benign-appearing bone trabeculae interspersed with lymphoid tissue. The diagnosis of Castleman's disease, hyaline-vascular type with osseous metaplasia, was made.

Lipogranuloma with osseous metaplasia in the breast that developed after "Bu-Hwang" oriental medicine treatment

A lipogranuloma is an inflammatory reactive process associated with exogenous or endogenous lipids, and it's occurrence in the breast has rarely been reported. Osseous metaplasia, which is used to describe bone formation in abnormal locations, can develop from several conditions such as trauma or a tumor. However, few studies have reported benign breast lesions that have been seen as osseous metaplasia. We present a case of a benign calcified breast lesion that developed after a traumatic treatment process called "Bu-Hwang", and it was confirmed as a lipogranuloma with osseous metaplasia. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a lipogranuloma with osseous metaplasia in the breast.
