An update on prostate biopsy in the era of magnetic resonance imaging.

Introduction: Prostate cancer (PCa) is a singular disease owing to absence of imaging technique able to detect suspicious glandular area at higher risk of disease. Nowadays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used as a way to detect PCa and simplify targeting prostate biopsy (PB). The aim of this study is to review the most recent data regarding standard BP and MRI-guided PB.

A larger detrusor wall thickness increases the risk of non muscle invasive bladder cancer recurrence and progression: result from a multicenter observational study.

Background: Recent experimental study showed a higher incidence of bladder cancer in presence of bladder detrusor muscle thickening. The aim of this study is to assess whether a higher detrusor muscle thickness (DWT) may be a risk factor of recurrence of non-muscle invasive urothelial bladder cancer (NMIBC).

Methods: Men with histologically-confirmed diagnosis of NMIBC were prospectively enrolled in 4 centers between December 2015 and April 2017.

Bladder stone management: an update.

Introduction: Bladder stone (BS) is a rare disease curable with several options. Herein, we reviewed the specific literature in order to update the current BS management.

Evidence Acquisition: A comprehensive systematic MEDLINE search was performed for English language reports published before April 2017 using the BS related terms, i.

Testicular amyloidosis.

Rapid testicular enlargement is usually strongly suggestive of tumor. Primary testicular infiltration due to amyloidosis is rare. We report a new case of primary testicular amyloidosis in a 72-year-old white man who presented with a short history of painless right testis enlargement.

[Congenital cysts of the liver. Their instrumental diagnosis and the indications for surgical treatment].

The authors report their experience of 8 cases of congenital cysts of the liver describing instrumental examinations used for diagnosis and different surgical operation performed. The Authors believe that the choice of surgical procedure, performed in symptomatic patients and large cysts, has to be according to different parameters as morphology and localization of the cysts and coexisting pathologies. Being non-malignant pathology, conservative surgery often avoids the complications of liver resection.
