TL;DR: An aggressive, sporadic case of PRCC in a 20-year-old female without family history and no risk factors is described, with a large complex left renal lesion within the collecting system, infiltrating the renal artery and causing severe hydronephrosis with para-aortic lymphadenopathy.
Abstract: Patient: Female, 20
Final Diagnosis: Papillary renal cell carcinoma
Symptoms: Hemopthysis
Medication: Sutent
Clinical Procedure: CT guided biopsy
Specialty: Oncology
Objective:
Rare disease
Background:
Papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC) is a rare disease and is a carcinoma of the renal tubular epithelium, comprising only 10–15% of all renal cell carcinoma cases. The majority of cases occur in the sixth decade of life. PRCC rarely occurs before the fourth decade in the absence of family history. This paper describes an aggressive, sporadic case of PRCC in a 20-year-old female without family history and no risk factors.
Case Report:
A 20-year-old African American female was admitted for hemoptysis with elevated blood pressure and was found to have left peri-hilar opacification on chest X-ray. Further radiological studies led to the discovery of a large complex left renal lesion within the collecting system, infiltrating the renal artery and causing severe hydronephrosis with para-aortic lymphadenopathy. An MRI also showed signal heterogeneity in the L2 and L3 vertebrae. Biopsies of the left renal mass and a right endobronchial lesion confirmed metastatic PRCC. Treatment was commenced with a tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Within a few weeks, the vertebral metastatic lesions progressed to cause spinal compression. After targeted radiotherapy, the patient was referred to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center for enrolment in a clinical trial.
Conclusions:
PRCC rarely occurs in the second decade of life and even then, most such early cases occur in family clusters. PRCC also has a relatively benign course, constituting less than 10% of all metastatic renal cell carcinomas, further making this case a unique presentation.

TL;DR: The cases of 2 adolescents with ectopic pregnancies who were treated successfully with methotrexate are reported and Methotrexate has been shown to be effective in the management of ectopic pregnancy.
Abstract: An ectopic pregnancy is a life-threatening form of pregnancy that is increasing in frequency especially in adolescents. Whenever a woman of childbearing age, including adolescents, presents with abdominal pain, the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy must be considered as a possibility because if it is not diagnosed and treated expediously and appropriately, there will be considerable morbidity and mortality. Methotrexate has been shown to be effective in the management of ectopic pregnancy, but few reports are described in the literature regarding its use in teenagers. We report the cases of 2 adolescents with ectopic pregnancies who were treated successfully with methotrexate.

TL;DR: It is submitted that the low subject participation rate of 23% severely limits the validity of the authors' findings on glycosylated hemoglobin A1c as a readily available screening tool.
Abstract: We welcome the article by Hughes et al. (1) on glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) as a readily available screening tool that the authors propose be used to identify undiagnosed diabetes during the early prenatal period. However, we submit that the low subject participation rate of 23% severely limits the validity of their findings.
Data obtained from only 23% of the study participants do not allow one to have confidence that the selected 5.9% (41 mmol/mol) HbA1c cutoff correlates …

TL;DR: A complicated case of recurrence of gestational trophoblastic neoplasms (GTN), mixed ETT and choriocarcinoma at an abdominal cesarean scar, where the patient had this abdominal mass resected three times and recurrence was negative.
Abstract: We present a complicated case of recurrence of gestational trophoblastic neoplasms (GTN), mixed ETT and choriocarcinoma at an abdominal cesarean scar. This tumor consisted of typical morphologic and immunophenotypic features of ETT and choriocarcinoma. The tumor recurred despite the patient undergoing chemotherapy. The patient had this abdominal mass resected three times. The elements of ETT and coexisting choriocarcinoma varied each time. Due to re-recurrence of the tumor, the following decisions had been made: total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, right-sided inguinal lymph node biopsy. At the time of this report, recurrence was negative.
