Objective: To assess the importance of long-term close follow-up in patients with breast carcinoma.
Materials And Methods: To present a case report.
Results: A case of a 55-year-old woman with history of lobular carcinoma of the breast is presented.
Objectives: We present a new surgery based on the round ligament anatomy that is called laparoscopic abdominopexy, which uses a synthetic mesh without fixation at any pelvic point. The aim of this study is to provide a step-by-step description of the laparoscopic abdominopexy technique and present the first anatomical and functional results of the procedure.
Methods: This prospective cohort study included patients with apical and anterior vaginal prolapse who were subjected to laparoscopic abdominopexy.
Objective: To evaluate, in a retrospective analysis, our long-term results of patients undergoing the Essed plication procedure for the correction of penile curvature due to Peyronie's disease.
Methods: Between January 1998 and June 2003, 83 patients with acquired penile deviation were treated with the Essed technique in our hospital. We analyse the following data: age, main complaint, type of deviation, erection before and after the surgery, physical exploration, ecographic data, complications and results.
Objectives: The epidermoid cyst of the testis is a rare benign tumor. It accounts for approximately 1% of all testicular tumors. Generally, the testis has a palpable, painless mass with tumor markers (AFP, BHCG, and LDH) within normal ranges.

Objective: To analyze our experience with the management of retroperitoneal abscesses.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective study was made of 66 patients with retroperitoneal abscesses treated at our hospital from January 1975 to July 2001 for the purpose of analyzing the diagnosis and treatment of these rare infections. In each case, we analyzed patient characteristics, abscess location and origin, predisposing factors, clinical presentation, microbiology, radiographic findings, treatment, and outcome.
Objectives: To report a new case of neuroendocrine renal cell carcinoma.
Methods: We report the case of a 76-year-old woman with neuroendocrine renal cell carcinoma who underwent radical nephrectomy without any further adjuvant treatment. We performed a bibliographic review about this rare renal neoplasia of which there are less than 20 published case reports.
Objective: This is a case of Encrusted Pyelitis (EP) caused by Corynebacterium urealyticum (CU) in a patient who had undergone a cystectomy and Bricker type urinary diversion 28 months beforehand.
Methods/results: After the immediate post-operative period no urinary catheterisation or any other urological procedure was performed on the patient. Before surgery, the patient presented non functional of the right kidney, secondary to a lithiasic obstructive uropathy.
Objective: To present 3 cases of primary abscess of the psoas muscle. The clinical features, diagnostic tests, treatment and outcome are discussed.
Methods/results: Three patients that presented with fever and pain referred to the renal and/or iliac fossa are described.
