Giant hydronephrosis (GH) is very rare in adults. We report a case of a 46-year-old man who presented with progressively increasing abdominal swelling. A contrast-enhanced CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis was used for the diagnosis. Left side open nephrectomy was performed and 22 L fluid was evacuated. UPJ obstruction was noted intraoperatively. No recurrence of abdominal swelling was noted on follow up examination.

A giant bladder stone is very rare in adults. We report a case of giant bladder stone causing acute kidney injury in a 23-year-old male, who presented with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) characterized by both irritative and obstructive LUTS. In addition, he also had episodes of reddish urine for the past decade. A non-contrast-enhanced CT scan was used for the diagnosis. Open cystolithotomy was performed and a 500g weighing stone was removed. He developed a superficial surgical site infection which was treated with wound care. He was discharged improved. Improvement in symptoms and serum creatinine was noted on follow-up.

Background Adnexal teratoma involving the urinary bladder is a very rare condition. Presentation is variable ranging from irritative LUTS (lower urinary tract symptoms) to pilimiction or trichiuria (passage of hair in the urine). Case Presentation We report a case of a 42-year-old woman who presented with pilimiction and lower abdominal pain. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan (CECT) and cystoscopy were used for the diagnosis. Tumor markers were negative. Right side salpingo-oophorectomy and partial bladder wall excision were performed. Histopathology of the specimen showed features consistent with mature teratoma. The patient reported improvement of symptoms in the subsequent follow-up visits. Conclusion Pilimiction is a pathognomonic sign of bladder teratomas. This case represents a rare complication of ovarian teratoma. Therefore, a high index of suspicion is required in patients with ovarian teratoma presenting with urinary complaints. Transurethral resection is associated with a high recurrence rate and is not recommended for secondary bladder teratomas.

Background: Adnexal teratoma involving the urinary bladder is a very rare condition. Presentation is variable ranging from irritative LUTS (lower urinary tract symptoms) to pilimiction or trichiuria (passage of hair in the urine).Case presentation: We report a case of a 42-year-old woman who presented with pilimiction and lower abdominal pain. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan (CECT) and Cystoscopy were used for the diagnosis. Tumor markers were negative. Right side salpingo-oophorectomy and partial bladder wall excision were performed. Histopathology of the specimen showed features consistent with mature teratoma. The Patient-reported improvement of symptoms in the subsequent follow-up visits.Conclusion: Pilimiction is a pathognomonic sign of bladder teratomas. Therefore, it is wise to think of this pathology in patients who report the passage of hair through the urine (trichiuria or pilimiction), as in our case. Cystoscopy and cross-sectional imaging aided in the initial diagnosis. However, a definitive diagnosis was provided by histopathology.We performed right-side salpingo-oophorectomy and partial cystectomy. Transurethral resection is associated with a high recurrence rate and is not recommended for secondary bladder teratomas.
