[A case of retrovesical leiomyoma].

We herein report a rare case of leiomyoma in the retroperitoneal space posterior to the urinary bladder. A 61-year-old man came to our department complaining of lower abdominal discomfort. Abdominal and pelvic computed tomographic scan revealed a retrovesical solid tumor on the cranial side to the left seminal vesicle. Diagnostic imaging suggested that the retrovesical tumor was a benign tumor such as leiomyoma or fibroma, and he underwent simple resection of this retrovesical tumor via reroperitoneal approach. Histopathological diagnosis was well compatible with image diagnosis of leiomyoma. He has been followed up for 6 months without recurrence.

Neonatal intervention for severe antenatal pyelocaliectasis.

The postnatal management of the antenatally detected ureteropelvic junction obstruction relies on several factors, including the degree of hydronephrosis detected postnatally, the renogram washout curve, and the degree of renal function. It is imperative for the urologist to review all renal scans because of the inherent pitfalls in performing and interpreting these studies. A select population demonstrating severe pyelocaliectasis and poor function exists in which an intraoperative renal biopsy may be a better predictor of future renal function when compared with the preoperative renal scan. We present a patient with poor renal function that normalized with early surgical intervention.

Preoperative magnetic resonance staging of rectal cancer with an endorectal coil and dynamic gadolinium enhancement.

BACKGROUND: The aim of the study was to assess the value of endorectal coil magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with gadolinium enhancement in the preoperative staging of rectal cancer. METHODS: In addition to standard evaluation, patients with rectal lesions were assessed by MRI obtained with a pelvic phased-array coil in combination with an endorectal coil. RESULTS: The study group comprised 29 patients with rectal cancer staged with an endorectal coil who had surgery without preoperative adjuvant therapy. In addition to standard T1- and T2-weighted images, dynamic contrast-enhanced images were acquired in all patients. Considerable interobserver variation was noted, particularly for pathological tumour stage pT1 or pT2 (kappa = 0.36). Compared with pathological findings, endorectal MRI correctly staged nine patients, overstaged 16 and understaged four. Whilst lymph node metastases were accurately detected in 70 per cent of patients, the positive predictive value was only 58 per cent. CONCLUSION: MR staging of rectal cancer with an endorectal coil and gadolinium enhancement is inaccurate for early tumours (stage T1 or T2) and is associated with a considerable degree of interobserver variation for individual scan sequences.
