Rounded atelectasis (RA) is an unusual form of peripheral lobar collapse which may present as a juxtapleural mass simulating pulmonary neoplasm. Seven cases RA were recently encountered in patients with asbestos-induced pleural disease. Since asbestos exposure associated mesothelioma, bronchogenic carcinoma, and other tumors, differentiation from these neoplasms essential avoiding unnecessary thoracotomy. The radiographic features are sufficiently characteristic, so that the presence chronic...
Objectives. To assess the treatment outcomes of a single session whole gland high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for patients with localized prostate cancer (PCa). Methods. Response rates were defined using Stuttgart and Phoenix criteria. Complications graded according to Clavien score. Results. At median follow-up 94months, 48 (44.4%) 50 (46.3%) experienced biochemical recurrence definition, respectively. The 5- 10-year actuarial free survival 57% 40%, overall rate, specific metastasis...
Blood transfusions (BT) have been associated with adverse oncologic outcomes in multiple malignancies including open radical cystectomy (ORC) for urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB). Robot-assisted (RARC) intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD) delivers similar compared to ORC, yet lower blood loss and reduced transfusions. However, impact BT after robotic is still unknown.This a multicenter study patients treated UCB RARC ICUD 15 academic institutions, between January 2015 2022. were...
Zinner Syndrome is a congenital pathology due to an embryologic anomaly occurring between the 4th and 13th gestational week. This defect leads unilateral renal agenesis, ipsilateral seminal vesicle cyst ejaculatory duct obstruction. Most of time patients are asymptomatic do not need any treatment but for symptomatic cases, only surgical removal 100% effective. The case presented here that healthy 33-year old man with right agenesis. First conservative approach was attempted each symptoms...
Objective: To assess the risk factors associated with recurrence, progression and survival in high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients treated bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) validate European Organization for Research Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Spanish Urological Club Oncological (CUETO) scores. Patients methods: We retrospectively analyzed all BCG-treated NMIBC from 1998 to 2012. Multiple variables were tested as recurrence-free progression-free (PFS). Variables...
Background and Objective: The Clavien-Dindo Classification (CDC) only reports the postoperative complication of highest grade. It is thus limited value for radical cystectomy, after which patients usually experience multiple complications. Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) a novel scoring system, incorporates all events in one single value. study aimed to adopt CCI evaluation complications undergoing robot-assisted cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD) explore...
We report a case of 65-year-old male patient with high-risk prostate cancer, re-staged <sup>11</sup>C-choline positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for specific antigen recurrences 3 years after radical prostatectomy and adjuvant radiation therapy. In addition to 2 suspicious presacral lymph nodes which were resected proven be metastatic, PET/CT revealed very high uptake in calcified thyroid nodule. Evaluation fine needle aspiration was carcinoma the underwent total...
Renal artery pseudoaneurysm may develop after laser flexible ureteroscopy stone lithotripsy (FURSL). Typical symptoms include flank pain, persistent hematuria, delayed refractory anemia, or hemorrhagic shock in case of rupture. This complication FURSL is very rare with only five cases reported the literature as April 2023, which one involved Thulium laser. We report a 65-year-old man recurrent renal lithiasis who underwent using fibered (TFL) for 8 mm left kidney upper pole. Persistent...
Ganglioneuromas are rare, benign, well-differentiated, slowgrowing tumors of the sympathetic nervous system, composed large, mature neurons in a stroma Schwann cells. derived from neural crest cells and can arise anywhere base skull to pelvis. The pre-sacral area is very rare location for ganglioneuromas develop. We describe case 31 year old woman, who was incidentally found have an abnormal mass. following work-up, revealed mass be growing on imagery (computed tomography magnetic resonance...
Abstract We present the case of a patient with three‐year indolent bilateral ureteral and perirenal masses. Clinical presentation, radiological context, histopathological findings detection BRAF V600E mutation confirmed diagnosis Erdheim‐Chester disease (ECD). A review current knowledge regarding diagnosis, clinical assessment, management, treatment ECD is also presented.
Primary urethral carcinoma (PUC) is a rare disease with frequent nodal metastasis at the time of diagnosis. Few risk factors have been established and overall prognosis remains poor. As now, no clear therapeutic guidelines are management advanced PUC often involves surgery which can negative functional psychological outcomes for patient. authors already reported use chemoradiotherapy alone to avoid some good short-term results. We report case 48-year-old woman high-grade urothelial distal...
Abstract Background During robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for prostate cancer (PCa), few attention is given to pre-prostatic fat tissue (PPT) even during pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND). However, the rare potential involvement of PPT nodes (LN) by PCa metastasis has already been reported several authors and may influence therapeutic strategy in intermediate high-risk patients. We present case a 69-year-old man who underwent RARP with extended PLND (ePLND) aggressive...
