RESUMEN

Ovarian granulosa cell tumors (GCTs) are rare neoplasms with a unique incidence pattern peaking in postmenopausal women. This case report presents two instances of stage 4 recurrent adult GCTs with a prolonged 20-year follow-up. Patient 1, diagnosed at 54 years, experienced multiple recurrences managed through surgery, hormonal therapy, and chemotherapy, culminating in hepatocellular carcinoma. Patient 2, diagnosed at 67 years, underwent various treatments, including surgery, chemotherapy, and hormonal therapy, demonstrating disease stability. Despite the generally favorable prognosis, these cases highlight the challenges of managing recurrent GCTs, emphasizing the need for tailored therapeutic approaches.

RESUMEN

Lung cancer is the second most common malignancy in both genders and the most common cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Broadly, lung cancer is divided into two types: small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Non-small cell lung cancer accounts for 85% of the diagnoses of lung cancer. It is necessary to check for any targetable mutations, which can help in deciding the treatment plan for the patients. The patient we are reporting is a 70-year-old male with multiple co-morbidities diagnosed with non-small cell carcinoma, favoring adenocarcinoma on histopathology. He was started on Atezolizumab/Bevacizumab/Carboplatin/Paclitaxel (ABCP). He was switched to maintenance Atezolizumab/Bevacizumab after four cycles due to poor tolerance to carboplatin and paclitaxel. The patient presented with neutropenic colitis and acute kidney injury (AKI), requiring admission. workup revealed nephrotic range proteinuria with a high urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio. He underwent a renal biopsy to ascertain the cause of his proteinuria, which showed marked acute and chronic tubulo-interstitial nephritis (TIN), amyloidosis, and global glomerulosclerosis. Secondary (AA) amyloidosis is characterized by the extracellular deposition of misfolded proteins. Although interstitial nephritis is a reported side effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors, AA amyloidosis is a rarer side effect. So, to determine the exact cause and early therapeutic intervention in immune checkpoint inhibitor-related kidney injury, large retrospective or prospective studies should be done.
