HighlightsUreterocele is a rare condition. One of its presentation is the presence of a stone, usually a solitary stone, inside the ureterocele.Ureteroceles represent a clinical challenge in term of diagnosis and management due to their variable presentations and types.Our patient ureterocele was complicated by a large calculus so we decided to proceed with endoscopic resection of the ureterocele along with stone removal.
HighlightsLeydig cell tumor is a testicular tumor with a low incidence accounting for 1–3% of testicular neoplasms.Only about 10% of them show malignant behavior in the form of metastatic disease.When diagnosed and treated early, long-term favorable outcomes are seen even with its potential metastatic behavior.
HighlightsOnly about 250 cases of bladder leiomyoma reported in English literature.This is the first reported case to present in acute manner as a case of febrile UTI.Imaging is mandatory to diagnose the underlying cause of febrile UTI.Though benign, failure to diagnose the lesion may lead to recurrence of severe UTI.
HighlightsAKU has a very low prevalence. This case sums of the two rarest entities of alkaptonuria and stones in a paraprostatic diverticulum also this case highlights the role endoscopic management of prostatolithiasis in alkaptonuria patient and the role of MRI in diagnosis of para prostatic diverticulum.
Introduction and importance
Covid-19 pandemic has had huge impact on health care system and put the health care system under strain, so efforts made to minimize the elective surgeries however some surgeries especially those for high risk malignant tumors cannot be postponed.
The aim of this case report is to highlight the importance of screening cancer patients and those with co-morbidities such as renal impairment for Covid-19 and encouraging them to get vaccinated before undergoing elective surgeries.
Case presentation
We report a case of an 80 year old male patient with renal impairment who developed Covid-19 infection after transurethral resection of high grade transitional cell carcinoma of urinary bladder.
Clinical Discussion
Although intra-hospital contagion of Covid-19 is not rare, increased risk of acquiring Covid-19 among cancer patient particularly if they have co-morbidities like renal impairment should be kept in mind and strict protective measures for Covid-19 for those patients should be done before, during and after the procedure.
Conclusion
We theorized that patients with high grade transitional cell carcinoma of urinary bladder should be screened for Covid-19 and get vaccinated before the procedure.
