RESUMEN
Introducción: La neoplasia papilar renal de polaridad inversa (NPRPI) ha sido recientemente reconocida como una entidad separada de la clasificación tradicional de los carcinomas papilares de células renales por sus peculiares características histopatológicas, inmunofenotípicas y moleculares, y un comportamiento indolente. Material y métodos: En este trabajo aportamos 6 nuevos casos y realizamos una revisión de la literatura publicada al respecto hasta el momento actual, recopilándose un total de 104 casos. Resultados: Nuestros casos de NPRPI corresponden a 5 hombres y una mujer, con edades comprendidas entre los 47 y los 91 años. En 5 casos la NPRPI resultó un hallazgo incidental en piezas de nefrectomía indicada por la presencia de otro tumor renal y en uno la NPRPI fue el motivo de la intervención quirúrgica. Nuestros casos presentan tamaños entre los 2 y los 13mm, y una histología papilar con revestimiento en monocapa de células eosinófilas con núcleos de bajo grado en localización apical. Inmunohistoquímicamente muestran una constante positividad para GATA3 y negatividad para vimentina. Se identificaron mutaciones en KRAS en el 50% de ellos. Tras un seguimiento comprendido entre uno y 60 meses, 5 de los pacientes seguían vivos sin recurrencia o metástasis y uno falleció a causa de un carcinoma urotelial. Conclusiones: Nuestros casos concuerdan con las características clínicas y patológicas descritas en los publicados hasta el momento. Aportamos la primera serie nacional y corroboramos la existencia de unos criterios diagnósticos definidos y constantes que permiten considerar la NPRPI como una entidad propia distintiva. (AU)
Introduction: Papillary renal cell neoplasm with reverse polarity (PRNRP) has recently been recognized as an entity separate from the traditional classification of papillary renal cell carcinomas, due to its specific histopathological, immunophenotypic and molecular characteristics, as well as its indolent behavior . Material and methods: We provide 6 new cases and a review of the literature published until the present time, which comprises a total number of 104 cases. Results: Our PRNRP cases correspond to 5 men and one woman aged between 47 and 91 years. In 5 of the 6 cases, the PRNRP was an incidental finding in nephrectomy specimens. Nephrectomy had been indicated due to the presence of another renal tumor, except for one case, in which surgical intervention was indicated due to PRNRP. Our cases present mass sizes between 2 and 13mm, as well as papillary histology with a monolayered lining of eosinophilic cells with low-grade nuclei in apical location. Immunohistochemically, they show a constant positivity for GATA3 and negativity for vimentin. KRAS mutations were identified in 50% of our cases. After a follow-up ranging between one and 60 months, 5 of the cases were still alive without recurrences or metastases, and one died from urothelial carcinoma. Conclusions: Our cases agree with the clinical and pathological characteristics described in the PRNRP cases published to date. With the present study, we provide the first series of national cases corroborating the existence of well-defined and constant diagnostic criteria that allow PRNRP to be considered as a distinctive entity.

RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Human papillomavirus (HPV) bivalent and quadrivalent vaccines have been widely implemented in worldwide organized immunization programs. A nonavalent HPV vaccine is now available in several countries. The objective was to describe the fraction of squamous non-invasive high-grade cervical intraepithelial lesions attributable to genotypes targeted by bi-quadrivalent vaccines and by nonavalent vaccine according to age and diagnosis in women living in the city of Vigo (Galicia, Spain). METHODS: Cervical scrapings (2009-2014) of women with histological diagnosis of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 (CIN2, n = 145) and grade 3-carcinoma in situ (CIN3-CIS, n = 244) were tested with Linear Array HPV Genotyping test (Roche diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany). Hierarchical estimation of the fraction attributable to HPV 16/18 or HPV 31/33/45/52/58 detected alone or in combination was calculated. Absolute additional fraction attributable to genotypes targeted by nonavalent vaccine compared to genotypes targeted by bi-quadrivalent vaccines was calculated as the increment of attributable cases with respect to all studied cases. Age group 1, 2 and 3 included women 18 to 34, 35-44 and ≥45 years old, respectively. EPIDAT 3.1 was used. RESULTS: Fraction attributable to genotypes targeted by bi-quadrivalent vaccines was 59% CIN2 vs. 69% CIN3-CIS (p < 0.001). It was 63/51/50% of CIN2 and 78/66/45% of CIN3-CIS in age group 1, 2, 3, respectively. Fraction attributable to genotypes targeted by nonavalent vaccine was 86% CIN2 and 86% CIN3-CIS. It was 87/91/75% of CIN2 and 90/86/76% of CIN3-CIS in age group 1, 2, 3, respectively. Fraction attributable to genotypes targeted by these vaccines tended to decrease as age increased (p-trend <0.05). Globally, absolute additional attributable fraction was 16%, 26% and 29% in age group 1, 2 and 3, respectively (p < 0.005). CONCLUSIONS: Absolute additional fraction of CIN2 and CIN3-CIS attributable to genotypes targeted by nonavalent vaccine was observed in women of any age, especially in those over 35 years old.

OBJECTIVES: The incidental presence of seminal vesicle epithelium in prostate needle biopsies is generally recognisable through routine microscopy. However, the biopsy can sometimes be erroneously interpreted as malignant due to its architectural and cytological characteristics, and immunohistochemistry can be useful for correctly identifying the biopsy. Our objective was to analyse the potential usefulness of GATA-3 as a marker of seminal epithelium. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Through immunohistochemistry with a monoclonal anti-GATA-3 antibody (clone L50-823), we studied seminal vesicle sections from 20 prostatectomy specimens, 12 prostate needle biopsies that contained seminal vesicle tissue and 68 prostate biopsies without seminal vesicle epithelium, 36 of which showed adenocarcinoma. RESULTS: Staining for GATA-3 was intense in the 20 seminal vesicles of the prostatectomy specimens and in the 12 prostate needle biopsies that contained seminal epithelium. In the 60 biopsies without a seminal vesicle, GATA-3 was positive in the prostate basal cells and even in the secretory cells (57 cases), although with less intensity in 55 of the cases. One of the 36 prostatic adenocarcinomas tested positive for GATA-3. CONCLUSIONS: The intense immunohistochemical expression of GATA-3 in the seminal vesicle epithelium can help identify the epithelium in prostate biopsies. This marker is also positive in the basal cells of healthy prostates and, with less intensity, in the secretory cells. Positivity, weak or moderate, is observed on rare occasions in prostatic adenocarcinomas.
