[Incidental prostatic adenocarcinoma in the ere of the PSA].

Prostate adenocarcinoma is occasionally and incidentally found in the prostate gland after enucleation through adenomectomy or transurethral resection (incidentaloma). We contribute 17 cases (3.38%) of incidentaloma found among 503 patients who underwent adenomectomy vs. TUR due to prostate obstructive-irritative symptomatology of likely benign etiology. The diagnostic methods, pathological findings, treatment and evolution in our series versus other recent ones are explained.

[Clinical assessment and treatment of spontaneous perirenal hemorrhage].

OBJECTIVES: Four cases of spontaneous perirenal hemorrhage are reviewed, with special reference to the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment. METHODS/RESULTS: Two were due to tumor (sarcomatoid carcinoma and angiomyolipoma) and the rest were secondary to renal lesions. All patients underwent nephrectomy due to hemodynamic instability. CONCLUSIONS: Nephrectomy appears to be the best treatment since this condition may arise from a malignant tumor which, to date, cannot be determined by any diagnostic method.

[Testicular cavernous angioma: a difficult clinical diagnosis].

OBJECTIVE: The present report highlights the difficulty encountered in the diagnosis of cavernous testicular angioma in spite of the ultrasound study. METHODS/RESULTS: The clinical and ultrasound data of a patient with cavernous angioma of the testis were analyzed. To our knowledge, only 10 such cases have been reported in the literature. This condition could not be diagnosed on the basis of the clinical or ultrasound findings. CONCLUSIONS: Only pathological analysis and, therefore, surgical exploration can accurately diagnose cavernous angioma of the testis.
