Predicting the Lymphovascular Invasion in Carcinoma Bladder at Transurethral Resection.

Introduction: Bladder cancer is among the most common malignant neoplasms in the world. Transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) is considered the standard procedure for diagnosis, staging, and risk classification of bladder tumors. Lymphovascular invasion (LVI) is considered a poor prognostic factor.

Utility of Fluorine18 Fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography in Metabolic Characterization of Solid Renal Mass Lesion and Localization of Extra Renal Lesions in the Body - A Prospective Study from the Tertiary Care Center in South India.

Purpose Of The Study: Renal mass lesions in majority of the cases are due to malignant etiology and about one-third of them are reported with metastatic lesions at the time of presentation. Thus proper investigational workup is needed for staging and thereby treatment planning. The current fluorine18 fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F18-FDG PET/CT) study was designed to characterize renal mass lesions metabolically and identifying other metabolically active lesions in the body suggesting metastatic disease.

Large Prostatic Utricle With Transitional Cell Carcinoma in an Adult.

A 21-year-old man with pain in the lower abdomen and hematuria of 10 days' duration was evaluated and found to have a large cystic lesion behind the urinary bladder, which was confirmed to be a large prostatic utricle with a solid component on contrast-enhanced computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and transrectal ultrasonography. Postoperative histopathology revealed transitional cell carcinoma.

Renal pyelic fusion with crossed solitary ureter: case report and review of literature.

Renal fusion anomalies are detected incidentally on imaging, with horseshoe kidney being the most common followed by crossed renal ectopia. We report a rare congenital anomaly of renal pyelic fusion with a solitary ureter. Both the renal units were in the normal position and location.
