    Abstract In prostate adenocarcinoma, both tumorous stroma and epithelium have important role in tumor progression. Transforming growth factor beta (TGF- β) is a promotor in advanced stages of prostate cancer. Matrix Metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2), the endopeptidase that degrades extracellular matrix is considered to be overexpressed in prostatic carcinoma related to its growth and aggressiveness. Therefore, the aim was to analyze the expression of proteins TGF- β and MMP2 between both epithelium and stroma of prostatic adenocarcinoma and adjacent unaffected parenchyma. The intensity of TGF- β and MMP2 expression in epithelium, tumorous stroma and adjacent unaffected parenchyma was analyzed in 62 specimens of prostatic adenocarcinoma by microarray-based immunohistochemistry. TGF- β was more expressed in tumorous than in prostate stroma (p =0.000), while no statistical significance in case of MMP2 (p = 0.097) was found. MMP2 was more expressed in tumorous than in prostate epithelium (p =0.000), while no statistical significance in case of TGF- β (p = 0.096) was observed. The study results indicate that both tumorous stroma and epithelium have a role in tumor progression and support potential role of TGF- β and MMP2 in prostatic adenocarcinoma progression.

    Abstract Synchronous occurrence of multiple lung cancers in the same lobe of the lung is very rare. Most of the tumors diagnosed in this way have the same histologic type. With imaging methods it is difficult to determine if the multiple lung lesions present hematogenous spread of lung cancer (or cancer from other origin) or these lesions present the second primary lung cancer. We report a rare and unusual case of synchronous occurrence of primary adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma in the same lobe of the lung. Our case demonstrates that in case of synchronous occurrence of multiple lung lesions each lesion should be sampled and histologic type of every lesion should be determined so the further treatment can be planned accordingly.

    Abstract Unlabelled: Synchronous occurrence of benign and malignant kidney tumours is very rare. We present the case of a 63-year-old female patient who underwent a bilateral partial nephrectomy after being diagnosed with bilateral kidney tumours by ultrasonography and a computed tomography scan. Histopathological analysis of the left kidney tumour mass revealed a chromophobe renal cell carcinoma. In the right kidney specimen clear cell renal cell carcinoma was found along with a small angiomyolipoma and renomedullary interstitial cell tumour. There were no indications for subsequent chemotherapy. At present, three years after the surgery, the patient has had no signs of relapse and maintains normal renal function.
    Keywords: bilateral kidney tumours - renal cell carcinoma - angiomyolipoma.

    Abstract Aim: To determine the role of immunoglobulin M (IgM) deposits in clinical manifestations, disease outcome, and treatment response of idiopathic and secondary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS).
    Methods: Kidney biopsy specimens of 171 patients diagnosed with FSGS (primary and secondary) and 50 control patients were retrospectively included in the study. For each patient, clinical and outcome data were obtained and compared to morphological parameters, including immunofluorescence analysis of mesangial IgM and complement 3 (C3) deposits analyzed on kidney biopsy samples.
    Results: There were significant positive correlations between IgM and C3 deposition in secondary FSGS (P<0.001) and between IgM and mesangial deposits detected by electron microscopy in secondary FSGS (P=0.015), which indicated that higher IgM deposition correlated with higher C3 deposition and mesangial deposits only in secondary FSGS. Patients with secondary FSGS and the deposition of IgM showed inferior renal outcomes at earlier time points in comparison with patients with negative IgM expression (P=0.022).
    Conclusions: We detected a positive correlation between IgM and C3 in secondary FSGS. The association between IgM deposition and worse renal outcome in secondary FSGS indicates that IgM may play a role in the progression of this disease.

    Abstract Introduction: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a malignant neoplasm that arises within secretory glands. It rarely occurs in the lacrimal gland. Kidney metastases are very rare.
    Case presentation: We report a case of a 76-year-old female patient treated with right radical nephrectomy because of the tumour mass of the right kidney. Well-circumscribed, firm, grey mass was found on the lower pole of the kidney. Histologically, tumour was considered to be ACC. Retrospective history data showed ACC of the lacrimal gland surgically treated 14 years before with metastasis to the lung operated seven years before. Our diagnosis was metastatic ACC to the kidney.
    Conclusion: ACC has a remarkable capacity for recurrence. To our knowledge, in the English-speaking area (PubMed), 10 cases of ACC metastatic to the kidney have been described to date, and this is the second reported case of kidney metastasis from primary lacrimal ACC.

    Abstract Unlabelled: We present a case of a patient with primary extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue of the urinary bladder that persisted after chemotherapy, immunotherapy and radiotherapy.
    Case report: A 48-year-old male underwent a routine ultrasound examination. A tumour mass in the urinary bladder was found and a transurethral biopsy was performed. Pathohistological examination revealed MALT lymphoma. Results of computed tomographic scan, positron emission tomography scan and bone marrow biopsy defined the tumour as primary malignant lymphoma of the urinary bladder. The patient received eight cycles of chemo-immunotherapy (CHOP) and radiotherapy. Five months after therapy, there is a partial radiological remission, but with metabolic progression of the tumour. To our knowledge, this is the first case of MALT lymphoma of the urinary bladder with chemo-immunotherapy and radiotherapy resistance.
