Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is an extremely rare disease composed of myofibroblast cells and inflammatory infiltrates. There are different sites of the urogenital system affected by IMT-bladder, prostate and kidney. We report a case of a 59-year-old male patient presented with abdominal pain, gross hematuria and a renal mass treated with partial nephrectomy. The final diagnosis was renal inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor. Despite recent improvements in imaging technology, preoperative diagnosis of IMT remains a dilemma. It is therefore mandatory to carry out clinical interpretation, careful histologic examination, and immunohistochemical studies which will generally determine the appropriate diagnosis and patient management.
Ameloblastoma is a benign, locally aggressive tumour, with an unicystic variant that is very difficult to be differentiated from odontogenic cysts, because of their similarity in the clinical manifestation and X-ray examination. The morphological similarities between these processes make for a more difficult histological diagnosis. We present a case of a 32-year old male, admitted in the Maxillofacial surgery clinic in a University hospital for surgical treatment, because of a swelling in the left mandibular vestibule. A cystic formation, histologically diagnosed as an epithelial one, is removed. Eight months later, the patient is admitted once again, with the same symptoms. The biopsy result from the second operation is a plexiform unicystic ameloblastoma. What is being discussed is the connection between the two pathological processes and the difficulties with giving the correct morphological diagnosis.
Hématospermie continue pendant 5 ans causée par coït reservé en tant que méthode de contraceptionrapport de casIntroduction. La présence de sang dans le sperme est appelée hématospermie ou hémospermie. La condition est toujours accompagnée de la peur et de l'anxiété des patients et, dans la plupart des cas, elle est intermittente et à court terme. Dans les cas où l'hématospermie se poursuit pendant une longue période de temps ou se combine avec d'autres symptômes, elle nécessite une évaluation diagnostique pour les nombreuses causes qui peuvent être présentes -inflammatoire, néoplasique, iatrogène et obstructive. Rapport du cas. Nous présentons un cas de coït réservé -une pratique impopulaire des rapports sexuels et une méthode contraceptive qui se manifeste cliniquement par une hématospermie. Un homme de 38 ans, marié, père d'un enfant de 6 ans, a été consulté pour une hématospermie persistante après chaque
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a histological diagnosis characterized by an increase in the number of epithelial and stromal cells in the transitional zone of the prostate gland. The clinical manifestation of BPH is associated with the appearance of so-called lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) which can also be a consequence of other conditions not related to the prostate. Covid-19, also known as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 was discovered as a disease in late 2019 in the city of Wuhan, China. <b><i>Materials and Methods:</i></b> A case-control study was conducted between September 2021 and May 2022. Information was initially collected on 60 patients followed up and treated conservatively for BPH in two outpatient practices and recovered from Covid-19. After processing the received information, 27 patients were excluded from the study and 33 patients remained for observation The assessment of patients is carried out through an internationally validated questionnaire – international prostate symptom score (IPPS), prostate specific antigen, digital rectal examination (DRЕ), and ultrasound diagnostics of the prostate gland with consideration of its volume and the amount of residual urine. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Our data show a strong correlation between the changes in LUTS in patients with BPH and Covid-19 infection. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Although almost 3 years have passed since the beginning of this pandemic, there are still many unanswered questions surrounding this disease. We believe that with our experience we will enrich the information about the relationship between Covid-19 and LUTS, and the results obtained by us can serve as a basis for future large-scale and more in-depth studies on the subject.
Efficacité et sécurité de l'urétérorénoscope flexible jetable -une expérience institutionnelle uniqueIntroduction. Selon les directives de l'Association Européenne d'Urologie, l'urétérorénoscopie flexible est l'une des modalités de traitement des calculs rénaux de moins de 2 cm. Les urétérorénoscopes flexibles jetables sont supérieurs aux réutilisables en termes de détérioration des performances de l'oscilloscope, de coûts de réparation des dommages et d'équipement spécial de stérilisation au gaz. Malgré les progrès indéniables des urétérorénoscopes flexibles jetables dans la pratique urologique quotidienne, la littérature mondiale manque d'une riche base de données sur leur conception technologique et leur efficacité clinique. L'objectif de l'article est de présenter notre expérience dans la gestion des calculs rénaux avec un urétéroscope jetable flexible -WiScope™. Matériel et méthodes. Entre le 1er janvier 2020 et le 1er janvier 2021, 76 patients souffrant de calculs rénaux ont été traités dans notre centre par urétéroscopie
