Priapism of the clitoris.

Priapism of the clitoris is a rare entity. A case of painful priapism is reported in a patient who had previously suffered a radical cystectomy for bladder carcinoma pT3-GIII, followed by local recurrence in the pelvis. From a symptomatic point of view she showed a good response to conservative treatment (analgesics and anxiolytics), as she refused surgical treatment. She survived 6 months from the recurrence, and died with lung metastases. The priapism did not recur. The physiopathological mechanisms involved in the process are discussed and the literature reviewed.

[Emphysematous cystitis caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae].

Emphysematous cystitis is a very uncommon clinical activity as compared to the high incidence of urinary infections in diabetic patients. The paper explains the pathophysiological mechanisms and updates its clinical and therapeutic diagnostic choices regarding one case of favourable evolution following medical treatment.

[High pressure filling bladder].

A complete urodynamic study was carried out on 41 consecutive patients presenting in the cystomanometry a vesical filling pressure at maximum capacity higher than 30 cm H2O. Two groups were evident: group I with neurogenic etiology, and group II without an obvious neurogenic etiology. From its results it can be seen that a diminished vesical accommodation is not a urodynamic fact restricted to vesicourethral neurogenic dysfunction, but it happens in several non-neurogenic conditions. Within the neurogenic group, the urodynamic element most frequently associated to a diminished vesical accommodation was an inferior motor neuron-like vesicourethral dysfunction. An increased vesical filling pressure was not enough to produce urinary incontinence, being also necessary an added factor to prompt involuntary loss of urine.

[Bladder carcinosarcoma with osteosarcomatous differentiation].

Osteoid tissue can eventually be identified outside the bone skeleton adopting the form of metastasis, osteoid metaplasia or primitive osteosarcoma. This latter presentation is most frequently located in soft tissues and exceptionally at the visceral level. The term used for any of these forms is extra-bone osteogenic sarcoma. This paper reports the case of a 62 year-old female patient diagnosed with vesical urothelial carcinosarcoma treated with external radiotherapy. After a disease-free period of 20 years the patient developed osteosarcomatous-differentiated vesical carcinosarcoma. A literature review is made to analyze, from a clinical and histopathological perspective, several items of interest presented by this pathology. The role of sarcomatous radio-induction is also highlighted. Finally, we emphasize the relevance of using radical treatments from the start, so as to restrain the highly malignant potential of this condition.
