A case of paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma in a 17-year-old patient is described. The clinical features, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of this rare tumor type are briefly discussed.
We report on a 61-year-old patient with massive scrotal herniation of the bladder and non-Hodgkin malignant lymphoma. We briefly describe this disease entity and its form of presentation, and discuss its diagnosis and treatment.
We report on a patient with two primary and synchronous urological tumors (hypernephroma and leiomyosarcoma of the bladder). Patient follow-up of 14 months revealed no evidence of tumor recurrence. The clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of this rare tumor of the bladder are highlighted. We consider surgical treatment mandatory and radio- and chemotherapy adjunctive treatment modalities.
We present a case of diffuse malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis, a very uncommon tumor site, in a patient who also had a tumor localized to the chest. We could not determine however, whether the testicular neoplasm was a primary tumor or a distant metastasis. We describe this tumor type, its mode of presentation, diagnosis and treatment.
A case of urinary retention from infranuclear neurogenic bladder secondary to perineal herpes zoster infection is described. We discuss the different urological compromise (neurologic and vesico-prostatic) following herpes zoster infection and the importance of correct diagnosis and patient follow-up. We do not recommend instituting drug therapy. Intermittent use of a catheter is advocated as the only treatment modality for this condition, which is reversible in most of the cases.
A case of epidermoid carcinoma of the renal pelvis is described. The etiologic, prognostic and therapeutic aspects of this uncommon tumor of the upper urothelium are discussed.
