[Transformation of glandular cystitis into bladder transitional carcinoma with adenocarcinoma areas].

OBJECTIVE: The association of cystitis glandularis with primary bladder tumors is well known. A case of cystitis glandularis progressing to transitional cell carcinoma is described and the literature briefly reviewed. METHODS/RESULTS: We report on a case of diffuse cystitis glandularis in whom progression to transitional cell carcinoma with areas of adenocarcinoma had been discovered. Treatment was by radical cystectomy with urinary diversion. CONCLUSION: Extensive and diffuse cystitis glandularis can be a potentially malignant lesion. Patients with diffuse cystitis glandularis should have a regular cystoscopic follow-up for early detection of progression to a bladder tumor.

[Intrascrotal aggressive angiomyxoma].

OBJECTIVE: To describe a case of aggressive scrotal angiomyxoma in a 55-year old man. METHODS: Ultrasound examination revealed a tumor on the scrotum. Surgical resection and histopathological study of the tumor was performed. The literature is briefly reviewed. RESULTS: Pathological analysis disclosed spindle-shaped neoplastic cells widely separated by a myxoid stroma rich in collagen fibers and prominent irregular-shaped blood vessels. Immunohistochemically, the stromal cells stained consistently for vimentin but not for desmin or S-100 protein. The patient had no symptom or signs of systemic disease and remains symptom-free 15 months later. CONCLUSIONS: Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare condition that can be successfully treated surgically and has a great tendency to local recurrence.

[Bladder compression caused by hip prosthesis displacement].

Case report of one patient with extrinsic vesical compression secondary to a displaced hip prosthesis. Interesting case due to increasing hip prosthesis surgery over the last few years involving, although not frequently, ureteral and vesical injuries of varying consideration which require early diagnosis and management.

[Vesico-umbilical fistula. Occurrence in an adult].

Vesicoumbilical fistula in the adult male basically results from repermeability of the urachus obliterated by an uncompensated vesicoprostatic obstruction. The passage of urine through the umbilicus is practically pathognomonic and the definitive diagnosis is made by IVP and cystourethrography. It is a relatively benign pathology with a good prognosis following surgical treatment. Herein we report a case of vesicoumbilical fistula in an adult male with a previous history of prostatic syndrome and chronic urinary retention, resulting in repermeability of the urachus.

[Post-traumatic renal hypertension].

Post-traumatic renal hypertension is an uncommon sequela of renal trauma that may appear late making long follow-up advisable. The pathophysiology of this condition, the diagnostic methods, its different modes of presentation including transient and reversible or irreversible permanent hypertension are discussed. The usefulness of renal function tests in its diagnosis and the criteria for reversibility with surgical treatment are analyzed. Three cases of hypertension that presented late (2, 12, and 20 years after renal trauma) are described and the literature reviewed.
