Renal Epithelioid Angiomyolipoma: A Case Report and Review of Literature.
We reported a 31-year-old female who had a history of renal failure and bilateral renal masses. Magnetic resonance imaging of the abdomen revealed bilateral large renal masses replacing renal parenchyma with features suggestive of bilateral renal AML. The patient underwent left nephrectomy, and histopathology examination findings were consistent with the diagnosis of EAML. PMID: 33083036 [PubMed] (Source: Oman Medical Journal)

Novel presentation of intraocular metastases in a patient with penile squamous cell carcinoma: a case report
ConclusionsPenile cancer typically occurs as penile squamous cell carcinoma, and its most common metastatic sites are the inguinal lymph nodes. Hemorrhagic transfer of tumor cells is extremely rare, especially to intraocular sites. Intraocular metastatic tumors have a unique presentation on imaging, as observed on magnetic resonance imaging and histopathological analysis. This novel finding of intraocular metastasis in penile squamous cell carcinoma is of great significance to optic surgeons and...

Novel Agents for Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer: Finding the Positive in the Negative.
Authors: Vidula N, Ellisen LW, Bardia A Abstract Metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is associated with a poor prognosis, and the development of better therapeutics represents a major unmet clinical need. Although the mainstay of treatment of metastatic TNBC is chemotherapy, advances in genomics and molecular profiling have helped better define subtypes of TNBC with distinct biologic drivers to guide the therapeutic development of targeted therapies, including AKT inhibitors...
