Penile cancer is a rare disease. Delay in diagnosis and treatment frequently occurs and high morbidity can be observed in affected patients. The management is based on surgical resection. The inguinal node staging depends on the disease-related risk. We herein report a 95-year-old male patient, with a history of a right inguinal hernia, surgically treated. He presented with a swollen painful glans penis. The glans biopsy identified a moderately differentiated invasive squamous cell carcinoma. We have performed a complete penectomy with a bilateral inguinal lymph node dissection. The patient is currently receiving adjuvant chemotherapy based on cisplatin Categories: Urology, Oncology

Isolated ureteral injuries are rare, occurring particularly in gunshot wounds to the abdomen. These are much rarer in the context of stab wounds. These lesions are usually silent. We report a 30-year-old man with a history of abdominal penetrating trauma with a knife, 11 years ago before the actual admission to the urology department. The patient's report describes a retained metallic foreign body in the right lumbar area. At admission, the patient presented with a four-months history of right lumbago. An abdominal computed tomography scan revealed the presence of a right para-renal small urinoma and identified the 52 x 20 mm metallic foreign body at the level of L3 and L4 vertebral bodies, with the presence of mild right ureterohydronephrosis. Ureteral injuries can lead to significant morbidity and mortality when unrecognized or mismanaged. The basis of therapy for patients with ureteral injuries is to maintain renal drainage with options depending on individual cases.

The urachus is an embryological remnant that normally regresses before birth. Failure in this regression may give rise to different pathologies. Among these, a urachal abscess may be difficult to diagnose based on the clinical presentation alone since this condition can mimic different pathologies. We report the first case of concurrent urachal abscess and invasive low-grade urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder.
