Congenital total hemihypertrophy and carcinoma of undescended testicle: a case report.

The first case of germinal cell tumor of the testis in a patient with congenital total hemihypertrophy is reported. The literature is discussed with emphasis placed on the frequent association of hemihypertrophy with oncogenesis and teratogenesis. We conclude that because of the high incidence of malignancy in the undescended testis prophylactic orchiectomy should be considered in a patient with hemihypertrophy and cryptorchidism.

Large prostatic hematomas associated with carcinoma of the prostate.

Two cases are presented of large prostatic hematomas secondary to adenocarcinoma of the prostate. The similarity of these cases at examination to prostatic abscesses complicated diagnosis and delayed treatment. To avoid diagnostic error it is important to remain alert to this atypical presentation and to remember the necessity to obtain adequate biopsies.

Medical management of refractory hematuria in sickle-cell trait.

Hematuria secondary to sickle-cell trait has on occasion proved refractory to medical management. We have adopted a new six-drug regimen to deal with this difficult problem. Herein is reported our experience with this protocol in 2 patients. Our results have been excellent, with hematuria clearing within twenty-four hours. The drug regimen is used in an attempt to alter the conditions that are favorable for sickling in the renal medulla.

Septic arthritis secondary to vesico-acetabular fistula: a case report.

The second case of septic arthritis resulting from a vesico-acetabular fistula secondary to a penetrating injury is reported. Despite reported good results in blunt trauma with hip and urinary tract drainage combined with appropriate antibiotics, improvement occurred in our patient only after surgical excision of the fistulous tract. It appears that in some cases early fistulectomy can shorten hospital stay and reduce the incident of complete ankylosis.
