Abstract
Cytological examination of urine sediment is a helpful diagnostic tool for identifying renal involvement by hematological malignancies. We present the case of a 47-year-old man who was diagnosed with extranodal B-lymphoblastic lymphomas after presenting with gross hematuria as his first symptom. The presence of lymphoma cells in the urine led to a diagnosis confirmed through an immunophenotypic study using cell block sections of urine centrifuge sediment and core needle biopsy histology of the right renal pelvis mass. This case highlights the usefulness of a urine cytological study in diagnosing lymphoma involvement in the genitourinary tract. Furthermore, this paper reviews relevant literature on diagnosing lymphoma involvement from urine sediment.

Adult Onset Still's Disease and Radiotherapy treatment for breast cancer: Case report about management of this rare association and literature review. Rep Pract Oncol Radiother 2020; 25:527-532. [PMID: 32477018 PMCID: PMC7251537 DOI: 10.1016/j.rpor.2020.03.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2019] [Revised: 02/02/2020] [Accepted: 03/16/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022] Open
Abstract
AIM This manuscript focuses on the first experience in literature of a patient with a complicated Adult Onset Still's Disease-related heart failure who thereafter underwent adjuvant radiotherapy for left breast cancer. BACKGROUND AOSD is a rare autoimmune inflammation-related disease, in which life-threatening pulmonary and cardiac complications can occur. In literature, AOSD is often associated with cancer, as paraneoplastic syndrome, but there are few data about primary AOSD and management of oncological therapies. MATERIALS AND METHODS A patient who needed adjuvant breast cancer radiotherapy underwent tumour board evaluation to define feasibility of an RT in a patient with of a history of a heart life-threatening complication 2 years before AOSD. Results of the review were discussed by a multidisciplinary panel of experts that chose the type of surgery, radiotherapy and monitoring of patient. RESULTS Literature review confirmed association of AOSD with BC in some pts and uniqueness of this treatment management experience. Patient underwent RT according to schedule of 40.05/2.67 Gy/fx on residual left breast and 10/2 Gy/fx on tumour bed with the gating technique. The panel chose to keep immunosuppressive therapy with anakinra. No complications were observed at clinical, ECG and laboratory examinations. Maximum toxicity was G2 skin. At first follow up AOSD signs of flare were negative. CONCLUSION In conclusion, when oncological treatments, especially radiotherapy, are mandatory for AOSD pts, multidisciplinary management and tailored monitoring are necessary to avoid acute adverse effects and allow pts to complete therapies.

Abstract
Anaplastic large cell lymphoma is an aggressive T-cell neoplasm. It rarely involves the urinary bladder, with just twelve cases reported thus far and only one being ALK-negative. Immunophenotyping (particularly for ALK) is mandatory, both for prognostic and therapeutic reasons. Herein, we report the case of a patient with an ALK-negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma involving the bladder which was diagnosed and fully characterized by immunocytochemistry in urine cytology. The patient underwent a cystoscopy and the urine sample disclosed tumor diathesis background and aggregates of atypical cells, with evidence of multinucleation and mitotic figures. Immunocytochemistry revealed strong membrane/Golgi positivity for CD30 and negativity for ALK. The patient was submitted to transurethral resection for therapeutic purposes, which confirmed the diagnosis. To the best of our knowledge, this represents only the third case of anaplastic large cell lymphoma with bladder involvement diagnosed in urine cytology and the very first with diagnostic findings allowing for immunophenotyping of the disease in a bladder wash. The present report reinforces the role of urine cytology as a suitable method for establishing an earlier diagnosis and characterization of the disease, avoiding submitting patients to invasive procedures like transurethral resections.

Abstract
We report a case of 18-year-old boy who presented with vomiting, backache, and fever for 1-month, diagnosed to have anaplastic large cell lymphoma of urinary bladder with hypercalcemia and metastatic calcification in multiple viscera. His computed tomography scan was suggestive of soft tissue lesion in the urinary bladder and multiple lytic skeletal lesions. Bone scan showed unusual visceral uptake in lungs, liver, spleen, and myocardium in addition to osseous lesions. The clinical laboratory test revealed functional impairment of visceral organs. The patient died 3 months later.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Urinary tract cytology (UTCy) allows the accurate diagnosis of high grade urothelial carcinoma. Rare malignancies characterized by the presence of small cells may be more difficult to recognize, however. The aim of this study was to review our experience with liquid-based (ThinPrep) UTCy specimens showing small atypical cells and characterize their cytomorphology, potential differences from previously reported morphologic features, and discuss their differential diagnostic considerations. MATERIALS AND METHODS Among 18,859 UTCy specimens reviewed during a 13-year period (2001-2012), we identified 13 cases corresponding to surgical pathology specimens diagnosed as small cell carcinoma (6), melanoma (3), lymphoma (3), and leukemic involvement of the urinary tract (1). We recorded the original diagnoses made on these cases and 10 cytomorphologic features that could aid in their diagnosis. RESULTS We identified 13 cases in UTCy of 7 men and 6 women; 11 of which were diagnosed as positive or suspicious for malignancy. In 8 out of 13 cases (62%) the type of malignancy was correctly reported. Of the 10 recorded features, cellular clustering and nuclear molding were seen only in small cell carcinoma, whereas prominent nucleoli and an inflammatory background or diathesis were noted in lymphoma and melanoma cases. Intracellular pigment and multinucleation were recorded in melanoma cases. CONCLUSION The presence of small atypical cells in liquid-based UTCy should raise the suspicion of underlying malignancy involving the urinary tract. Cell clustering, nuclear molding, and hyperchromasia are helpful hints for the diagnosis of small cell carcinoma and the presence of small atypical cells with prominent nucleoli raises the possibility of lymphoma or melanoma.

Abstract
We report a unique case of anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) involving the urinary bladder in a 22-year-old man. The patient presented with left lower back pain for 4 weeks. The computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrated an exophytic nodule on the left bladder wall and abdominopelvic lymphadenopathy. Histologically, a population of large pleomorphic cells extensively infiltrated the lamina propria of the bladder. These cells were diffusely and strongly immunoreactive for CD30, ALK, EMA, and vimentin, but were negative for AE1/AE3, CK20, CK7, CK5/6, P63, SMA, HMB-45, pan-Melan, S-100, Myo D1, synaptophysin, CD56, desmin, CD15, CD20, Pax-5, and CD3. Few cells exhibited positive immunohistochemical staining of CD45. The patient underwent cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) regime of chemotherapy and achieved a complete remission after four cycles. This case is the tenth documented case of systemic ALCL involving urinary bladder. Due to its rarity, it is important to be aware of the features of ALCL in bladder, and make prompt and accurate diagnosis.
