Penile metastases of rectal adenocarcinoma after abdominoperineal resection: a case report.

Background: Penile metastases are very rare and arise most frequently from genitourinary cancers. Penile metastases from rectal adenocarcinoma are less common.

Case Presentation: We report the case of a 47-year-old North Afican man with penile metastases from a rectal adenocarcinoma, which was discovered 4 months after abdominoperineal resection.

Applicability and outcome of laparoscopic adrenalectomy for large tumours.

Laparoscopic adrenalectomy has been shown to be as safe and effective as conventional open surgery for small and benign adrenal lesions. With increasing experience with laparoscopic adrenalectomy, this approach has become the procedure of choice for the majority of patients requiring adrenalectomy. In our department, from 2011 to 2016, a total of 28 patients with 31 adrenal tumours underwent laparoscopic adrenalectomy regardless of tumour size.

Giant urinary bladder stone is defined as a stone with a weight higher than 100 g. It is rare in women, accounting for approximately 2%. Its occurrence in the urinary bladder does not exceed 5% of the whole of the urinary tract.

[Left paraduodenal hernia: a rare cause of bowel obstruction].

We here report two cases of acute bowel obstruction. Emergency intervention showed left obstructive paraduodenal hernia causing volvulus with necrosis of the incarcerated intestinal loops in one patient who underwent one-time anastomosis resection and suffering but viable small bowel in the second patient treated by incarcerated intestinal loop reduction and obturation of the orifice of the hernial canal. We here highlight the diagnostic and therapeutic features of this rare condition.
