[Nd-YAG laser photocoagulation of scrotal sebaceous cysts].

Scrotum's sebaceous cyst is an usual pathology, not life threatening, but susceptible of infection, producing abscess with their associated cosmetic and psychological disturbance. The classical management is the complete excision, under local anaesthesia, to prevent its recidive. Until today, the use of de Nd-YAG laser for the management of the scrotum's sebaceous cysts as not been reported. We report a case of a young man with several scrotum's sebaceous cysts, treated successfully with the use of a Nd-YAG laser.

[Extracorporeal piezogenerated shockwave lithotripsy. Our experience in 500 cases].

Between April 1987 and August 1988, 498 patients suffering renal or ureteral lithiasis, all of them with a 6 months or more follow-up period, have been treated in our Unit. Patients were treated in an ambulatory regime without need for anesthesia or analgesia. Up to 27% of the cases has surgical background for lithiasis. One hundred and twenty-six patients had a double J ureteral catheter placed prior to lithotripsy treatment. Fourty-four percent cases needed only one session, 25% two, 12% three and 18% more than three sessions. At the time of discharge 86% patients had no lithiasis or fragments less than 3 mm. Only 9% had fragments larger that 3 mm. It is our opinion than piezoelectric extracorporeal lithotripsy has been proven as a safe, effective and painless procedure in most renal lithiasis.

[Leiomyosarcoma originating in the renal vein. A special case].

OBJECTIVES: An additional case of leiomyosarcoma of the renal vein is presented and the literature reviewed. METHODS/RESULTS: The patient had a history of hypertension. He and his brother were the first case of twins with bilateral retinoblastoma reported in the literature. The pathological findings were diagnostic of leiomyosarcoma of the renal vein. The clinical features, diagnosis and treatment are discussed. CONCLUSIONS: Leiomyosarcoma of the renal vein is an uncommon tumor which presents difficulties in making the preoperative diagnosis. A possible relationship may exist between this tumor type and the radiotherapy administered during childhood due to retinoblastoma.
