The authors present a case of seminal vesicle cyst and discuss the polymorphic clinical features and the examinations required to establish the diagnosis. Treatment is surgical and reserved to cysts with severe symptoms.
The retro-pubic veinous circle of the male rat was investigated on the both sides: anatomic and functional aspect. The dorsal vein of penis in the male rat run into a retro-pubic veinous circle. This circle receive the anterior vesical veins too. The internal pudendal vein and the anastomotic vein begin in this circle, and go together to the iliac vein. From the retro-pubic veinous circle, there is a triangular circulation between the internal pudendal vein, the anastomotic vein and the iliac vein. Angiographies performed on rats in vivo, indicates that the anastomotic vein is effical for the drainage of the retro-pubic circle only if the flow of the penis dorsal vein is sufficient. These conclusions are proved by experimentation on dead rats.
The authors report a case of bladder leiomyoma. They emphasise its rarity and the important role of medical imaging in its preoperative diagnosis, which can only be confirmed with certainty by histological examination. Treatment must be surgical with complete resection and the prognosis is excellent.
The authors present ten cases of eosinophil cystopathy and recall the very varied clinical signs of this disease: pollakiuria, haematuria, dysuria and the findings of complementary investigations: possible dilatation of the upper urinary tract, thickening of the bladder wall. Biopsy is essential and reveals lymphocyte and plasma cell infiltration and numerous eosinophils. The treatment administered was either immunosuppressants or dimethyl sulphoxide.
The authors report a case of interstitial cystitis occurring in association with very active rheumatoid arthritis. Although the association of immune disorders and rheumatoid arthritis is well known, cases of concomitant vesical lesions have only been reported exceptionally. The diagnosis of interstitial cystitis is based on histology and immunofluorescence studies. The pathogenetic hypothesis remains uncertain: is this a primary bladder disease or a systemic auto-immune disease with a urinary tract expression? The success of immunosuppressant treatment in this case of cystitis is in favour of the second hypothesis.
