Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major health burden globally. The prognosis of CRC is strongly influenced by the presence of lymphovascular invasion (LVI) and lymph node (LN) metastasis. Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) is a cytokine with a complex role in CRC progression. This study aimed to evaluate the significance of TGF-β expression in predicting LVI and LN metastasis in CRC. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 50 patients diagnosed with CRC. The expression of TGF-β was assessed using immunohistochemical staining and the Allred scoring system. The relationship between TGF-β expression and the presence of LVI and LN metastasis was analyzed using the Chi-square test. Results: High TGF-β expression was significantly associated with both LVI (p = 0.011) and LN metastasis (p = 0.012) in CRC. Patients with high TGF-β expression had a higher risk of LVI and LN metastasis compared to those with low TGF-β expression. Conclusion: TGF-β expression is a significant predictor of LVI and LN metastasis in CRC. This finding has potential implications for risk stratification and treatment decisions in CRC patients.

Background: Collecting duct carcinoma (CDC) is one of the rare pathological subtypes of renal cell carcinoma, with high malignancy and poor prognosis. Pathological examination is the gold standard in confirming the diagnosis of CDC. CDC is described as a tumor that has a tubulopapillary architecture and forms a hobnail pattern along the glandular tube. Case presentation: A 56-year-old woman with the main complaint of a lump in the right abdomen for 1.5 months before entering the hospital. The lump in the stomach is getting bigger, complaints are accompanied by intermittent pain, nausea, vomiting, body feeling weak, and decreased appetite. The patient then underwent a CT-Scan examination of the abdomen and concluded that fluid/water was found next to the right kidney, and a hypodense lesion appeared in segment 6 of the right lobe of the liver. Histopathological examination of large tissue shows pieces of kidney tissue with a connective tissue capsule on the outside containing glomeruli and tubules lined by cuboidal epithelium as well as a proliferation of tumor cells that grow infiltratively in the connective tissue stroma which is partly desmoplastic and fatty tissue between the glomeruli and tubules. Tumor cells are arranged to form tubulopapillary and tubulocystic structures. These cells with pleomorphic nuclei, some hyperchromatic, some vesicular, coarse chromatin, clear nuclei, and atypical mitoses can be found and tumor cell embolism in the blood vessels and perineural invasion can be seen. There were spots and clusters of lymphocytes and plasma cells as well as areas of bleeding and necrosis. Conclusion: The patient was diagnosed with collecting duct carcinoma (CDC).
