Cistytis Glandularis: An Infrequent and Little-Known Tumor. Two Cases Report and Current Evidence.

Objective: To report 2 cases of an extremely rare bladder tumor such as Cystitis Glandularis (CG) that were management by different strategies and review the current evidence.

Material And Methods: Both cases of 43 and 48 years reported the same lower urinary tract symptoms that simulated a malignant bladder tumor. Case 1 presented with an extensive tumor affecting the trigone and the left upper urinary tract; the second case presented a less extensive tumor also at the bladder trigone.

Salvage Radical Prostatectomy in Nonmetastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer.

Objective: To analyze the perioperatory and short-oncological outcomes in 5 cases with CRPC M0 developed after pRT that underwent salvage laparoscopic RP (sLRP) and review the current evidence.

Material And Methods: Perioperatory and oncological outcomes were prospectively analyzed. Inclusion criteria were patients that had received pRT and posteriorly presented with CRPC M0 in standard imagines and positron emission tomography MRI coline.

Changes in prolactin receptor location in prostate tumors.

Introduction: Prolactin (PRL) binds its receptor (PRLR) and stimulates cell proliferation, differentiation and survival in prostate cancer (PCa) cell lines via STAT5a, MAPK and AKT.

Objective: To evaluate the expression of PRL and PRLR in normal and tumor prostate tissues with different Gleason patterns.

Methods: Samples of normal, benign prostatic hyperplasia and PCa with different Gleason patterns were selected from radical prostatectomy.

Retrograde intrarenal surgery as a tool for lithiasis management in renal anomalies. Four cases description.

Objective: The management of stone disease in renal abnormalities is a challenge for urologist due to its rarity. The aim of the current manuscript is to report our experience in Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) in 4 complex-abdnormal cases using the flexible videoureterorrenoscopy.

Material And Methods: Data was prospectively collected and retrospectively analyzed regarding our first 100 RIRS for stone disease with flexible videoureterorrenoscope (FLEX-X 8.

[Management of lithiasis associated with intrarrenal stenosis using the flexible videoureteroroscope.].

Objective: Intrarenal stenosis, even caliceal diverticula or neck diverticular stenosis, associated with lithiasis are infrequent therefore their management is a challenge. The aim of this article is to report two cases who underwent retrograde intrarenal surgery and Holmium laser as a modern technological tool, proposing a new gold standard.

Methods: We report 2 cases of intrarenal stenosis associated with lithiasis managed with flexible videoureteroscope (STORZ) and Holmium laser (CALCULASE II).

Human renal adipose tissue induces the invasion and progression of renal cell carcinoma.

We evaluated the effects of conditioned media (CMs) of human adipose tissue from renal cell carcinoma located near the tumor (hRATnT) or farther away from the tumor (hRATfT), on proliferation, adhesion and migration of tumor (786-O and ACHN) and non-tumor (HK-2) human renal epithelial cell lines. Human adipose tissues were obtained from patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and CMs from hRATnT and hRATfT incubation. Proliferation, adhesion and migration were quantified in 786-O, ACHN and HK-2 cell lines incubated with hRATnT-, hRATfT- or control-CMs.

[Testosterone replacement therapy and prostate cancer: the downfall of a paradigm?].

For six decades, it has been a part of the conventional medical wisdom that higher levels of testosterone increase the risk of prostate cancer. This belief is mostly derived from the well-documented regression of prostate cancer after surgical or pharmacological castration. However, there is an absence of scientific data supporting the concept that higher testosterone levels are associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer.

Basaloid carcinoma of the prostate: an extremely rare tumor.

Objective: The basaloid carcinoma of the prostate (BC) is a rare malignant neoplasm arising from the basal cells of prostatic ducts and acini. We report a case and review the literature.

Methods: A 76-year-old man presented with symptoms of lower obstructive uropathy, the IPSS score was 29 and prostate specific antigen (PSA)of 0,924 ng /ml.

Robot assisted partial nephrectomy (Da Vinci) in an angiomyolipoma associated to Wünderlich Syndrome.

Objective: To describe a case of renal angiomyolipoma treated by robotic assisted surgery.

Method And Results: We report the case of a 26 year old females patient, in the context of third month pregnancy, who was diagnosed of spontaneous self-limited retroperitoneal hemorrhage due to renal angiomyolipoma. The patient was treated conservatively until normal delivery.

Ureteral inverted papilloma: laparoscopic distal ureterectomy and boari flap.

Objective: To report a case of ureteral inverted papilloma (IP) with laparoscopic resolution.

Methods: We report the case of a 30-year-old male patient who consulted for asymptomatic hematuria with the radiological finding of a filling defect at the distal right ureter. Ureteroscopy biopsy was not diagnostic, so laparoscopic ureterectomy with a Boari flap technique was performed.

Mixed epithelial and stromal tumor of the kidney (MEST).

Objective: To report an unusual case of renal tumor and review the literature.

Methods: We present a 20 years old female with a history of acute right pyelonephritis. The ultrasound study revealed a tumor-like image in the lower pole of the right kidney .

Laparoscoscopic synchronous bilateral adrenalectomy.

Objectives: To report our experience in a series of bilateral synchronous laparoscopic adrenalectomies detailing technique and results.

Methods: A total of 242 laparoscopic adrenalectomies were performed in an 8 year period at our institution. Twenty four out of these were bilateral.
