Answers - continued RCC sarcomatoid type with cyst 2 Papillary RCC (type2?) and multilocular RCC 1 Papillary RCC with cysts 1 Pseudopapillary tumour with cystic lymphangioma 1 Blank answer 1 Five asked if the patient had known VHL or Tuberous Sclerosis
Diagnosis Angiomyolipoma and Multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma (Grade 1, pt1) With further isolated cysts
Expert opinion As it was an unusual case it was referred to Professor Fleming in Dundee for his expert opinion. He agreed this diagnosis. Adding that finding of multiple tumour with cystic change raised the possibility of inherited syndrome of which tuberous sclerosis would be the most likely After liaising with the urologist it was established that there were no clinical or family history to suggest TS, so mutational analysis was not pursued
Case E2 Female 22 years Laparoscopic Splenectomy performed Spleen received piece-meal weighing 400g
EQA opinions 100 participants submitted a response There was a wide range of diagnoses submitted: Congestion 22 (many with? Re Hx) Hereditary spherocyosis 22 (many? Needing Hx or saying haemolytic anaemia?hs) Hairy Cell Leukaemia 9 Lymphoma or Leukaemia - 5
Hypersplenism 5 Too much red pulp 9 (including?congested,?haemolytic anaemia,?lymphoma or leukaemia, extramedullary haemopoesis) Angiomatosis 2 Littoral Cell Angioma 5 Haemangioma - 2

Pathological features Splenic weight 400g (normal 150 200g) Expansion of red pulp due to congestion by abnormal red blood cells, including spherical forms Erythrophagocytosis Some haemosiderin deposition No extramedullar haemopoiesis
Diagnosis Hereditary Spherocytosis Clinical information given was Hereditary spherocytosis laparoscopic splenectomy Appearances entirely in keeping with this

Β catenin
Dx Intra-abdominal (colonic) desmoid tumour Sporadic In association with FAP Aetiology unknown Association with abdominal surgery, trauma and oestrogen therapy
Mutational analysis FAP associated cases germline mutation of APC gene (30% FAP patients develop desmoids) Sporadic colonic desmoid- mutation of β catenin gene (CTNNB1) causing accumulation of nuclear β catenin.
