Adult Wilms' tumour: a case report with review of literature.

BACKGROUND: Wilms' tumor is the commonest primary malignant renal tumor in childhood. Rarely, it may present in the adult age group. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a 48-year-old male presenting with flank pain and haematuria. Abdominal ultrasound revealed a right renal mass measuring 11 x 10 cms, and a clinical diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma was made. Nephrectomy was performed, and a final diagnosis of adult Wilms' tumor was made based on the criteria proposed by Kilton et al. CONCLUSION: The possibility of an adult Wilms' tumor should be considered when a patient presents with pain in the flank and a renal mass. Rarity of the tumor favors documentation in literature.

Epididymo-testicular malacoplakia--a case report.

Malacoplakia is one of the rare, chronic inflammatory disorders affecting the epididymis and testis. Diagnosis of the same is important as the treatment differs from the other granulomatous lesions in this area. We present a case of malacoplakia involving both the epididymis and testis with a brief review of literature.

Plasmacytoid variant of myoepithelioma of palate: a case report.

Myoepitheliomas of intraoral minor salivary glands are rare and are usually of plasmacytoid type. Myoepitheliomas are considered difficult to diagnose without the aid of ultrastructural and histochemical studies. Here we present a case report of plasmacytoid type of myoepithelioma of palate that was diagnosed by light microscopic examination alone. Considering the non-specificity of ultrastructural and histochemical findings, it is important to pay attention to typical features of plasmacytoid myoepitheliomas to arrive at a diagnosis.
