[Testicular epidermoid cyst. A case report].

Epidermoid cyst of the testis is a rare, begnin intratesticular tumor. Through a case report of a patient who underwent an orchidectomy, we study clinical, radiological and therapeutic aspects and particularities of this pathology.

[Transrectal ultrasound in the diagnosis of prostate cancer].

Transrectal ultrasound is an important tool in detection and management of prostate cancer. Its role is to identify and characterize focal lesions before capsular invasion and metastases and to guide biopsy of the prostate. In this paper, we present a overview of the state of trans-rectal ultrasound imaging in prostate cancer.

[Renal angiomyolipoma].

Anglomyolipoma is a benign kidney tumour that may be an isolated lesion or associated especially with tuberous sclerosis. The advancement of imaging technology allows a correct diagnosis in most cases before surgery. The management approach of angiomyolipoma should be aimed at parenchymal preservation: tumorectomy, partial nephrectomy and selective embolization.

How did the endoscopic video camera change our practice in transurethral resection of the prostate? A retrospective study of 200 cases.

Purpose: Video camera-assisted transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is an invaluable teaching tool and provides physical comfort to the surgeon. However, whether it improves technical skills and reduces complications rates and hospital stay has not been well documented.

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 100 cases of video camera-assisted (VCA) TURP and 100 cases of non-video camera-assisted (NVCA) TURP randomly chosen from 1490 cases performed over a 5-year period.
