Ischemia of the Penis and Fingertips Secondary to Calcifying Uremic Arteriolopathy.

Calcifying uremic arteriolopathy (CUA), also called calciphylaxis, refers to the calcification of the walls of the arteries of medium and small caliber, causing ischemic skin lesions. Diagnosis should be made if ischemic lesion develops in a patient with chronic renal failure (CRF), and it is confirmed based on clinical, radiological, and histological criteria. Generalized CUA characterized by ischemia of the penis (IP) along with other localizations of cutaneous ischemia is exceptional, and the morbidity and high mortality rate associated with this entity most often warrant multidisciplinary and conservative management.

[Urothelial carcinoma involving the renal calyce revealed due to brain metastasis].

We here report the case of a female patient without a history of smoking or urothelial carcinoma, making it, to our knowledge, a unique case and a first case of urothelial carcinoma revealed by brain metastasis.

[Multiple stones of the prostatic urethra associated with anejaculation revealing spinal dysraphism such as tethered cord syndrome at the base of the spinal canal in a young man: about an exceptional case].

Spinal dysraphism (or spina bifida) is a neurological disorder representing the first cause of congenital urological disability. It has several clinical manifestations, vesicosphincteric and sexual disorders are frequent and rarely isolated, belonging to motor disorders, orthopedic, sensory, digestive or even cognitive impairments. Tethered cord syndrome at the base of the spinal canal is a complication of spinal dysraphism.

[Tuberculous vesicovaginal fistula complicated by bladder stones: about an exceptional case].

Vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) continues to be a major public health problem in developing countries. Given the particular association of VVF with stones, the question that arises is whether the fistula is primary or secondary to bladder stone and then whether to use single-stage or two-stage treatment. But what is special about this study is that these rare clinical features are due to tuberculosis.

[Unusual intraurethral foreign body in a schizophrenic adolescent: about a case].

Self- insertion of foreign body is a common practice for self-injure or erotic purpose in patients with chronic psychosis. The diagnosis is sometimes difficult if it is reported late or if the patient does not cooperate; hence the interest of complementary imaging assessment. Treatment was based on two steps: the extraction of the foreign body by endoscopy or open surgery and psychiatric treatment of the mental illness.

[Giant hydronephrosis associated with ureterocele complicated by ureteral lithiasis].

Giant hydronephrosis is defined as an extensive dilation of the pyelocaliceal cavities occupying a large part of the abdominal cavity or as a dilation filled up with more than a liter of urine overflowing the median line. This is due, more often, to pyelo-ureteral junction syndrome. Obstruction due to ureterocele complicated by lithiasis is a very rare cause of giant hydronephrosis.

Chemotherapy is the treatment of choice for a metastatic urothelial bladder cancer. We here report a rare case of metastatic bladder cancer associated with Kaposi sarcoma posing a serious risk of aggravation of the new neoplasia. It was necessary to entrust the patient to his family.

[Urinary incontinence revealing vescicouterine fistula: about a case].

Vescicouterine fistula (VUF) is a rare lesion accounting for only 4% of all urogenital fistulas. It is most often secondary to cesarean section and forms a connection between the bladder and the uterus. We report the case of a young patient with VUF secondary to cesarean section.

A rare pure embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the urinary bladder in an adult successfully managed with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery: a case report.

Background: Rhabdomyosarcoma of the urinary bladder in adults is an extremely rare malignant neoplasm that develops from the bladder wall.

Case Presentation: We report our experience of a rare case of rhabdomyosarcoma of the bladder in a 45-year-old Moroccan man who was successfully managed with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgical excision of the mass; he was disease free at 24-month follow up.

Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a rare embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the bladder that was managed with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery.

[Neglected scrotal trauma revealing embryonic paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma: about a case].

Embryonic paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare mesenchymal tumor constituting a diagnostic and therapeutic emergency. Localized forms have a favorable prognosis. Multimodal treatment is the gold standard and it is based on surgery, multidrug chemotherapy and radiotherapy, with excellent overall survival rate.

[Bladder exstrophy with adenocarcinoma in an adult patient: a case report].

Bladder exstrophy is rare malformation pathology with an incidence of about 1 in 50,000 newborns. Not treated in time exposes to two main complications: kidney failure and bladder plaque cancer with a risk up to 200 times normal, which usually occurs around the fourth and fifth decade. In 95% it is adenocarcinoma and 5% squamous cell carcinoma.

[Not Available].

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.

[Retroperitoneal fibrosis: about 12 cases].

Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) is rare. It is characterized by the gradual transformation of retroperitoneal adipose tissue into a fibrous mass surrounding the aorta, the inferior vena cava and the urinary tract responsible for progressive alteration in the renal function. It usually manifests as lumbar pain associated with renal failure and biologic inflammatory syndrome.

[Aggressive renal angiomyolipoma extending to the renal vein: about a case and literature review].

Renal angiomyolipoma is a benign tumor. It is characterized of three different components: muscular, vascular and greasy. Their distribution is variable.

Urolithiasis secondary to primary obstructive megaureter in an adult: a case report.

Background: Primary obstructive megaureter is relatively uncommon in adults. This condition usually regresses spontaneously or is treated during infancy. It can remain asymptomatic for decades until adulthood when symptoms may manifest in the event of complications or during a routine radiologic imaging.

[Diagnostic criteria and management options for renal angiomyolipoma: about 8 cases].

Renal angiomyolipoma is a benign renal tumor with a fatty component. We here report a series of 8 cases in order to describe diagnostic criteria and management options for renal angiomyolipoma. We studied 8 cases of renal angiomyolipomas over a 4-year period.

[Conservative treatment in diabetic patients with emphysematous pyelonephritis: about five cases].

Myxoma of the kidney - an unusual benign renal tumor: a case report.

Background: Myxomas are rare benign soft tissue tumors. The kidney is an unusual location for this tumor. For this reason, less than 15 cases of renal myxoma have been reported in the English literature.

Isolated localization of Rosai Dorfman disease as renal mass: a case report and review of literature.

We report a rare case of an elderly woman presented with right renal mass with invasion of renal vein and several small lymphadenopathy in the hilar area. The diagnosis of kidney cancer is suspected and the patient underwent open radical nephrectomy, surrenalectomy and lymphadenectomy dissection. The pathologic examinations find a rosai dorfman disease.

A fragment of Foley catheter balloon as a cause of Bladder stone in woman.

Urinary bladder calculi are rarely seen in women and any history of previous pelvic surgery must, therefore, raise suspicion of an iatrogenic etiology. According to the literature, fewer than 2% of all bladder calculi occur in female subjects and, thus, their presence should provoke careful assessment of the etiology. We report one case of a fragment of Foley catheter balloon as a cause of Bladder stone in 28 years old woman.

Elective gangrene of the corpus spongiosum of idiopathic origin: A case report.
