[A case of ureteroduodenal fistula].
Ureteroduodenal fistulas are rare. The authors present a review of this disease in the light of a clinical case and emphasize the role of conservative management.

[Post-cholecystectomy amputation neuroma of the common bile duct with obstructive jaundice].
Amputation neuroma of the common bile duct after surgery is a rare and mostly asymptomatic lesion. A 60-year old patient presented with obstructive jaundice three months after a cholecystectomy for symptomatic gallstones. Imaging investigations showed common extrahepatic bile duct stenosis. Surgical resection of the stricture with biliodigestive anastomosis was performed. Histological examination of the surgical specimen revealed an amputation neuroma. Despite its rarity, amputation neuroma of the common bile duct should be considered in patients with post-cholecystectomy syndrome following liver or extrahepatic bile duct surgical procedures.

[Follow-up of testicular germ cell tumours. Guidelines of the Comité de Cancérologie de l'Association Française d'Urologie].
The follow-up of testicular tumours must be rigorous in view of the high cure rate in the case of recurrence. This follow-up is based on clinical examination, thoracoabdominopelvic CT and the tumour marker assays. The frequency of these examinations depends on the tumour stage.

Imaging of burned-out testis tumor: five new cases and review of the literature.
OBJECTIVE: Burned-out tumors of the testis are extremely rare. From 5 new cases, the clinical and radiologic findings are discussed in light of a review of the literature. METHODS: Over a 13-year period, 5 patients 17 to 50 years old were admitted with metastatic germ cell neoplasms. All were explored by thoracic and abdominal computed tomography and scrotal sonographic examination. RESULTS: The disease was revealed by the presence of lymphadenopathies in 4 of these patients: retroperitoneal in 3 and supraclavicular in the other. Scrotal sonography revealed abnormalities in all cases. CONCLUSIONS: Burned-out tumors may cause some confusion in the diagnosis, because secondary tumors can often be mistaken for primary tumors. Careful evaluation of the testis is crucial for identifying the primary lesion site; all abnormalities shown on clinical or sonographic scrotal examination call for orchidectomy.
