Decision-Making, Preference, and Treatment Choice for Asymptomatic Renal Stones-Balancing Benefit and Risk of Observation and Surgical Intervention: A Real-World Survey Using Social Media Platform.

The burden of kidney stone disease has risen, and several treatment options now exist. We wanted to evaluate the preference and treatment choices based on the information provided for management of hypothetical 8 and 15 mm renal stone, and factors that influenced their decision. An online questionnaire to investigate trends in decision-making for two hypothesized scenarios of asymptomatic kidney stones (8 and 15 mm) was formatted online in Microsoft Forms and posted on social media (Facebook) in Europe.

Malignant melanoma presenting as amelanotic caruncular lesion in a child.

We report the case of a 10-year-old boy who presented with a left caruncular lesion.
