The vesical cavernous hemangioma is a rare tumor with a begin biological behaviour. This sort of tumor has particular diagnostic and therapeutical features, and a variety of treatments has been used on it. The case of cavernous hemangioma in the bladder that we present was only diagnosed after RTU due to preoperative diagnosis of urotelial vesical tumor. We review clinical, diagnostic and therapeutical features of this kind of tumor.
Female urethra tumours are rare conditions and so the series presented in the literature gathers just a few cases, and therefore is difficult to reach a conclusion with regard to the definite treatment to be adopted in each case. It appears to be certain that even histologically malignant forms of this disease can be cured in the earlier stages. The most representative cases presented in our experience are analyzed and an overall review of the literature is made aiming to examine the experience of various authors with regard to the diagnosis and treatment of the injuries.
Wilms tumour is an infantile neoplasia with low incidence in adults. Worldwide literature describes 260 cases but only 50 meet the diagnostic criteria described by Kilton. This paper presents one case diagnosed in our service and includes a review of the literature.
Within renal aberrations, the most frequent one is the horseshoe kidney. Adenocarcinoma is the most common primary renal neoplasia. The association of tumour and horseshoe kidney is uncommon, with only 135 cases described in the literature. Presentation of 4 patients with tumours in horseshoe kidney: 3 adenocarcinoma and one urothelial tumour of renal pelvis. As a result of our experience we consider that arteriography is a key imaging technique for pre-operative study of these patients, medial laparotomy being the choice access for approach, and prognosis depending on tumour staging, with no influence from the malformation.
