67 year old male with a history of gross hematuria, acute prostatitis and benign prostatic hypertrophy. Cystoscopy revealed a small, polypoid growth with a broad base emanating from the left side of the verumontanum in the prostatic urethra. A biopsy was performed.

Pertinent Laboratory Data:
Elevated PSA (7 ng/mL)

 Case 1 - Figure 1 Low power view of lesion in prostatic urethra demonstrating a papillary and glandular architecture.

 Case 1 - Figure 2 Low power view of lesion in prostatic urethra demonstrating a papillary and glandular architecture.
|
 Case 1 - Figure 3 Low power view of lesion in prostatic urethra demonstrating a papillary and glandular architecture.
|
 Case 1 - Figure 4 Higher power demonstrating that the lesional cells are tall columnar to cuboidal.
|
 Case 1 - Figure 5 Higher power demonstrating that the lesional cells are tall columnar to cuboidal.
|
 Case 1 - Figure 6 Higher power demonstrating that the lesional cells are tall columnar to cuboidal. Prominent nucleoli are present.
|
 Case 1 - Figure 7 Higher power demonstrating that the lesional cells are tall columnar to cuboidal. Prominent nucleoli are present.
|
 Case 1 - Figure 8 The lesion in the prostatic urethra is positive for PSA.

A 72 year old man is referred to our urologist for nocturia and urinary urgency. His past medical history is significant for BPH, which has been treated with Flomax. The patient is a retired machinist and has a 30 pack year history of smoking cigarettes. He has not experienced gross hematuria or dysuria.

The patient's current PSA is 1.62. Urinalysis was performed and was normal. Urine cytology did not reveal any abnormalities. Cystoscopy was performed and showed a normal urethra, trilobar hypertrophy of the prostate and a reddened, raised patch on the posterior wall of the bladder. A biopsy was performed.

A 14-year-old girl complained of abdominal pain. Computerized tomography showed a 40 x 20 mm solid mass in the lower pole of her left kidney.

 Case 3 - Figure 1 Pre-operative needle biopsy of the mass shows nests of neoplastic cells with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm. Some of the cells contain deposits of pigment.
|
 Case 3 - Figure 2 Higher magnification shows the nuclei to be regular and round. The pigment is borwn or black and ranges from a fine dust to small granules.
|
 Case 3 - Figure 3 The resection specimen gave a more panoramic view, showing the neoplastic cells to grow in large nests surrounded by a delicate vasculature.
|
 Case 3 - Figure 4 Immunohistochemistry with antibody to TFE3 shows a positive reaction in the nuclei of the neoplastic cells.
|
 Case 3 - Figure 5 Immunohistochemistry with antibody HMB45 shows a positive reaction in the cytoplasm of the neoplastic cells.
