[Testicular microlithiasis: is there a relationship with malignant tumour?].

The aim of this revision is to assess the relationship between testicular microlithiasis and malignant tumours. We reviewed 98 charts of patients with pathological diagnosis of testicular malignant tumour. Diagnosis of testicular tumour was made by ultrasound, and 6.02% (6 pts.) presented testicular lithiasis, and this finding makes us conclude that this is not a characteristic feature of this entity. We also reviewed bibliography related to this theme, and conclude that the management of microlithiasis remains being controversial.

[Priapism].

Priapism has been defined by AFUD as a pathological condition which consists in a penile erection that persists moreover or is not related to sexual stimulation. Priapism pathophysiology has remained unknown until differents groups of clinical investigators began to research about this entity in patients complaining of erectile dysfunction, who where receiving treatment with intracavernosal vasoactive molecules. Priapism can be clasified into ischaemic (venocclusive): the most prevalent type, or Arterial (non-ischaemic). The purpose of this revision is to update the pathophysiology of the two types of priapism and to create an algorithm of therapeutical and diagnostic approach.
