[Renal abscess in patients diagnosed with AIDS and disseminated tuberculosis].

Presentation of two cases of renal abscess formation in patients with stage IV C-1 AIDS and active associated tuberculosis. The microorganism isolated in the first case was S. aureus. Culture of the second cases was artefacted since antibiotic administration had already been started. Also, both patients showed abdominal abscesses, at spleen and liver level in the first case, and prostatic level in the second case, both compatible with Mycobacterium tuberculosis dissemination. Both cases showed a lethal evolution. The role played by the immunodeficiency as a precipitating agent in the extrapulmonary tuberculosis and in the formation of renal abscesses is analyzed.

Transplant of a pediculate segment of vas deferens. Experimental study.

A new surgical technique has been used on white New Zealand rabbits. A segment of vas deferens was transplanted to the contralateral deferens with the intention of improving treatment for certain cases of infertility caused by obstruction. Evaluation of the technique was carried out by repeated seminograms, deferentovesiculography and histological studies of the transplanted deferens segment and the corresponding testicle. The viability of this surgical technique has been shown using the rabbit as an experimental specimen.

[Massive secondary psoriasiform dermatitis secondary to intravesical administration of mitomycin C].

We report on a patient who had been submitted to vesical diverticulectomy. Pathological examination of the surgical specimen revealed G2T1 urothelial carcinoma. Intravesical chemotherapy with mitomycin C was instituted. Following the sixth instillation, the patient developed widespread psoriasiform dermatitis and required admission to hospital. Remission was achieved with drug withdrawal and symptomatic treatment. The literature is reviewed.

Cavernosography in diagnosis of metastatic tumors of the penis: 5 new cases and a review of the literature.

Secondary tumors of the penis are rare, with 266 cases having been reported. We describe 5 new cases studied by cavernosography. The primary tumors were bladder cancer in 3 patients and prostatic cancer in 2. Cavernosography suggested the diagnosis, which was confirmed by a guided biopsy or fine needle aspiration biopsy. The prognosis has been poor, with the average survival being less than 9 months.

[Immediate complications of radical cystectomy. Intestinal fistula: our experience in the treatment with somatostatin].

During the period of time between November 1986 and May 1988, 14 total cystectomies with one-step urinary derivations were performed in our Service. The surgical techniques utilized include: 7 Bricker, 2 Camey, 1 ileocecal segment derivation, 2 cutaneous transureterostomies and 2 cutaneous ureterostomies. Among the complications observed there were 3 intestinal fistulas which were treated at first in a conservative way with parenteral nutrition and somatostatin. An immediate response was obtained in all three cases with a decrease in the fistula deficit. Surgical treatment was required in two patients after a lack of response to conservative treatment. The fistula closed in the third patient, to open again spontaneously 15 days later. It was controlled with conservative means and closed again 45 days later.

[Skin metastasis as the first manifestation of dissemination of bladder cancer].

Cutaneous metastases of vesical carcinoma are an uncommon finding and generally appear amid multisystemic dissemination. We present a case of appearance of multiple cutaneous metastases in the immediate postoperative period of a patient subjected to radical cystectomy, in which this affection was the only sign of metastatic seeding. We discuss the etiopathogeny and possible evolution of similar cases.

[Ultrasonic diagnosis of prostatic adenocarcinoma. Prospective study of a sample of 159 patients].

We studied the value of transrectal echography as the diagnostic means of prostate pathology. We carried out a prospective analysis of a sample of 159 patients, on whom we have anatomopathological documentation which we use as the reliability control for the clinical exploration by means of rectal touch and ultrasonography with transrectal transducer. We have obtained 137 prostate fibromuscular hyperplasias, 3 inflammatory pathologies and 19 adenocarcinomas. A 100% sensitivity in the echographic diagnosis of prostate adenocarcinoma was achieved for this sample.
