[Prostatic malacoplakia: report of a case and review of the literature].

OBJECTIVE: To describe an additional case of malakoplakia of the prostate. The etiopathogenesis, the histological and clinical features of this disease are analyzed and the literature briefly reviewed. METHODS/RESULTS: The pathological features of malakoplakia of the prostate in an elderly man with severe prostatic syndrome and recurrent urinary infections from E. Coli are described. The clinical manifestations disappeared following adenomectomy according to the Millin technique. CONCLUSION: Diagnosis of malakoplakia of the prostate is based on the pathological findings. The importance of the pathologist's role in the diagnosis of this condition, which will determine the treatment to follow, is therefore underscored.

[Acute abdomen secondary to pyonephrosis. Perinephritic abscess with fistula to peritoneal cavity].

OBJECTIVE: To describe a case of acute abdomen arising from an underlying urological condition. METHODS/RESULTS: Herein we describe a patient with acute abdomen arising from a pyonephrotic kidney with fistulization to the peritoneal cavity. The clinical manifestations disappeared following nephrectomy by the anterior approach and drainage of the intraperitoneal cavity. CONCLUSION: Although infrequent, it should be taken into account that peritoneal abscess and/or pyonephrosis can cause acute abdomen when they fistulize to the peritoneal cavity.

[Erectile dysfunction caused by neurapraxia of the pudendal nerve after the use of a traction table for the treatment of traumatic fractures. Report of a case and review of the literature].

OBJECTIVE: To describe a case of erectile dysfunction as a result of traction on the fracture table. METHODS: We report on a 39-year-old man who developed erctile dysfunction postoperatively and for several months thereafter, following intramedullary nailing with the Grosse-Kept bolt type fixation system. RESULTS: The patient spontaneously recovered erectile function six months after orthopaedic treatment. CONCLUSION: Erectile dysfunction induced by orthopaedic fracture table is a complication that should be taken into account. There are many procedures available to reduce the risk of this complication.

[Pyo-urachal cyst].

A case of infected and suppurating pyourachal cyst is described. The rarity of urachal pathology in the adult prompted us to report the present case. The clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of this urachal complication are discussed.

[A new case of entero-vesical fistula, secondary to Crohn's disease].

OBJECTIVE: To emphasize that urological symptoms and signs can be the presenting features of Crohn's disease. METHODS: A case of enterovesical fistula in a patient with Crohn's disease is described. The patient presented with hematuria and mild voiding symptoms, but there were no GI or other symptoms. The clinical aspects, diagnostic methods (ultrasound, cystoscopy, rectosigmoidoscopy) and treatment are discussed. RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS: Although Crohn's disease is rare, it should be considered when making the differential diagnosis in patients who present with voiding symptoms and hematuria.

[Giant bladder diverticulum, inside inguinal hernia. Clinical case and review of the literature].

OBJECTIVE: To report a case of giant diverticulum of the bladder associated with inguinal hernia. METHODS/RESULTS: An uncommon case of giant diverticulum associated with inguinal hernia is presented and the literature reviewed. The enormous size of the diverticulum and the associated lower urinary tract obstruction arising from hyperplasia of the prostate required resolution of both conditions. This was achieved by diverticulectomy with herniorrhaphy and TURP. CONCLUSIONS: Diverticula of the bladder are associated with lower urinary tract obstruction that are generally caused by a prostatic condition. Hernia with bladder diverticulum is uncommon. The symptoms are usually scanty and cannot be distinguished from the voiding symptoms arising from prostatic involvement. Apart form the clinical findings, US, cystography or IVP are useful for diagnosis. Treatment is usually by surgical correction of both the bladder diverticulum and voiding obstruction from prostatic hyperplasia.

[Gas-containing balano-preputial abscess; diagnostic and therapeutic approach].

OBJECTIVE: A case of balanopreputial abscess containing gas in a patient with adhesion of the glans penis to preputial mucosa is presented. METHODS: The clinical features, diagnostic methods (penile ultrasound) and treatment (debridement + step (staged?) circumcision) are described. RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS: Severe phimosis and balanopreputial adhesions can cause urological complications as shown in the case described. Ultrasound demonstrated the presence of abscess and gas.
