Xanthogranulomatous reaction is uncommon non neoplastic reaction involving multiple organs, commonly kidney and gallbladder. Its rarely involve testicle. We report 69-year old man present to clinic with right testicular swelling for six month duration. Testicular markers within normal range. Us scrotum revealed right large avascular heterogeneous mass inside testicle. Right inguinal orchiectomy done and revealed Xanthogranulomatous orchitis.
Renocutaneous fistulae may occur as a result of chronic infection, especially in the setting of calculous disease.1 Spontaneous renocutaneous is rare.2 Usually nephrocutanous fistula developed in patient with previous renal surgery, trauma, tumors, and chronic urinary tract infection with abscess formation. We report a case of spontaneous nephrocutaneous fistula. A 37-year-old women previously well presented to ER department with purulent discharge and a palpable mass on the left lumbar area. CT scan with IV contrast fistulous tract seen within the subcutaneous plane in Left lumbar region tracking towards retroperitoneal space, and in continuity with of left kidney. The patient underwent ‘Left nephrectomy with excision of fistulous tract’ after long course of antibiotics.
The cake or lump kidney is a rare form of fusion. The pancake kidney is always found in the pelvic cavity, in the greater or lesser pelvis. However, we report a case of pancake kidney which was found inside abdominal cavity while investigating 32-year-old male for lower limb pain. CT scan with IV contrast reveals ‘fused mass situated in the right side of abdominal cavity with course uncrossed ureters opening separately into the urinary bladder found incidentally with patient work up’. Pancake kidney in this case was managed conservatively without any complication. This malformation is usually present in pelvic cavity, so blood supply is almost constant but in rare cases might be different and follows location of this anomaly.
Granulosa cell tumor (GCT) is a sex-cord neoplasm of the gonads classified into either juvenile (jGrCT) or adult type (aGrCT). It is commonly arising in ovaries but is much rarer in men, with only around 50 male cases previously reported in the literature. We report on a 54-year-old male patient with a right testicular GCT measuring 10.0×8.0×6.0 cm. The tumor was treated successfully with radical orchiectomy followed by computed tomography to assess lymph node involvement, and no further treatment was done. Pathological reports showed diffuse positivity for immunohistochemical stains, inhibin, vimentin, calretinin, and CD99. The clinical and histopathological features, treatment, and prognosis of aGrCT arising in the testicle of an adult male are also reviewed in this manuscript.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
