Secreting retroperitoneal latero-aortic paraganglioma revealed by acute abdominal pain: a case report.

We report the case of a retroperitoneal paraganglioma in a 35-year-old man discovered by abdominal pain. The abdomino-pelvic computed tomography (CT) showed a retro-peritoneal latero-aortic mass compatible with a paraganglioma, confirmed by the 24-hour urinary metanephrines and normetanephrines test. After an adequate pharmacological preparation, we decide to perform a laparoscopic resection of the paraganglioma.

A spontaneous intraperitoneal bladder rupture is a rare, serious and life-threatening surgical emergency of various etiologies, with unspecific clinical presentation, and difficult diagnosis. Surgical treatment is the standard therapy for intraperitoneal bladder rupture; however, there is an increasing tendency toward conservative management in selected patients with favorable characteristics. Herein, we report a rare case of a 65-year-old male patient presented to the emergency department with intraperitoneal bladder rupture following an episode of acute urinary retention due to benign prostatic hyperplasia, and which was successfully managed conservatively with urinary bladder catheterization and antibiotic therapy, without any complication.

Sarcomatoid carcinomas of the bladder represent a tiny part of bladder tumors and are characterized by a high potential for malignancy. Very aggressive and affecting mainly men, these tumors present both a urothelial and sarcomatoid contingent. The treatment of these tumors is not well codified given the rarity of cases reported in the literature, however, it seems that the treatment is essentially based on radical cystectomy with extensive pelvic lymph node dissection.

Herein we report a rare case of 61-year-old patient, who presented a typical and severe TUR syndrome, secondary to intraperitoneal bladder perforation during TURBT, requiring intubation and positive inotropic drugs in the intensive care unit (ICU), and which was successfully managed conservatively.

Multiples deep abscesses: A rare complications of bricker ileal conduit urinary diversion after bilateral stenosis of the uretero-ileal anastomosis.

The most common complications of ileal conduit can be linked to bowel function, uretero-ileal anastomosis, complications related to cutaneous stoma itself and infections in general. It is often suspected upon the discovery of obstructive kidney failure. The management of stenosis of the uretero-ileal anastomosis is delicate requiring first, an attempt by endourological maneuvers for the benefit of less morbidity, while raising that a tumor recurrence is possible specially if it's performed in a tumor context.

Microcystic urothelial carcinoma of the bladder: A case report.

Microcystic variant of urothelial carcinoma was recently added to the World Health organization classification of transitional cell carcinoma. This variant is characterized by its aggressiveness explaining the low long-term survival rate of the patients. Larger studies are needed to determine the adequate treatment course.

Early post-traumatic renal vascular hypertension a rare complication of severe renal trauma.

Severe renal trauma is a particular entity, although rare, but most often involves the risk of short-term death from hemorrhagic shock and long-term death from infectious complications or secondary renal dysfunction, exceptionally post-renal vascular hypertension. Which is generally a late complication, we will report the case of a patient suffering from grade v renal trauma with early post-traumatic renal vascular hypertension, suppressed by medical treatment, then the surgical indication was kept in the second phase in front of a mute kidney.

Epididymo-testicular ischemia without torsion.

Epididymo-testicular infarction associated with ischemia of spermatic cord without torsion secondary to an orchiepididymitis is an extremely rare pathological entity, of little known etiopathogenesis and idiopathic in the majority of cases. The authors report an original observation of a 23-year-old young patient with a history of untreated orchiepididymitis, which presented to the emergency department for testicular pain. The ultrasound has showed an ischemic testicle and the exploratory scrototomy objectified an epididymo-testicular necrosis associated with ischemia of spermatic cord without torsion.

Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Management of Splenogonadal Fusion: A Literature Review.

Introduction: Splenogonadal fusion is a rare congenital anomaly, defined by the presence of ectopic splenic tissue caused by an abnormal connection between the spleen and the gonad or mesonephrotic derivatives during the embryonic period.
