Metastasis of prostate adenocarcinoma to testis.

Metastatic carcinoma to the testis is very rare. Metastasis of prostate adenocarcinoma to testis was detected incidentally after bilateral orchiectomy for hormonal management of metastatic prostate carcinoma. The metastatic lesion was not identified in physical examination or in macroscopic dissection of the testis after surgery. Microscopy revealed an adenocarcinoma which, given the history of the patient and a positive immunohistochemical stain for PSA, was identified as metastatic prostatic adenocarcinoma.

Fournier's disease: adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy to classic therapy.

Fournier's disease is a very rare and highly fatal necrotizing fasciitis of genital and perineal tissues. Conventional treatment of Fournier's disease includes surgical debridement and antibiotic therapy. We describe a case of Fournier's disease where we added hyperbaric oxygen therapy to the conventional treatment regimen.

Diagnosis and treatment of renal hydatid disease: presentation of four cases.

Hydatid disease of the urinary tract is uncommon, accounting for only 2% to 1% of all hydatid diseases. We report 4 patients with hydatid cystic disease of the kidney. Nephrectomy was performed on 1 patient because of the destruction of renal parenchyma by the hydatid cyst. The other 3 patients were treated by cystectomy to preserve the normal renal parenchyma. In these cases, Casoni's intradermal test and indirect hemagglutination (IHA) test were not found to be helpful in the diagnosis, and eosinophilia was not significant. Diagnostic features of hydatid cysts were mixed echogenicity on ultrasonography, and multivesicular cyst with mixed density on computerized tomography (CT). CT was the most useful and specific investigation. No complications were noted during the first 3 months of the follow-up. Despite its rarity, hydatid disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of space-occupying lesions of the urinary tract. Parenchyma-sparing surgery (cystectomy, partial nephrectomy) or nephrectomy are the main treatment modalities.
