Pott's disease complicated by a large retroperitoneal tuberculous mass: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant public health issue, especially in developing countries where its incidence is rising due to factors like overcrowding and immunosuppression. Among extrapulmonary TB forms, abdominal TB is common, while retroperitoneal TB is rare and often challenging to diagnose due to its similarity to other retroperitoneal tumors. Diagnosis typically requires invasive procedures such as laparoscopy or laparotomy.

Follicular Cystitis, a Rare Diagnosis in an Emergency Setting: A case report and literature review.

Introduction And Importance: Follicular cystitis (FC) is a rare inflammatory disorder of the bladder that predominantly affects women. The exact cause of FC remains largely unknown, although it has been associated with inflammatory processes and bacterial infections, particularly following urinary tract infections. Regarding orphan diseases, like follicular cystitis, where large-scale trials seem virtually impossible, case reports find their place and guide the scientific community to find the best course of action.

Case report of an unusual presentation of a urethral caruncle.

Introduction: Urethral caruncle is a benign lesion located at the urethral meatus, predominantly affecting postmenopausal women. Though often asymptomatic, it can sometimes present with symptoms that significantly impact the patient's quality of life. Diagnosis is usually straightforward based on physical examination.

A challenging case of a multiple large stones in enterocystoplasty: a case report.

In recent years, the utilization of enterocystoplasty for bladder function enhancement has increased, albeit accompanied by risks such as stone formation, necessitating vigilant follow-up. We report a case of a 60-year-old female with a neobladder who presented with back pain, constipation, and pelvic heaviness, revealing multiple large stones in imaging. Stone analysis showed calcium oxalate and magnesium.

Discussion: Despite the rarity of malignant pheochromocytomas, they present significant clinical challenges.

Successful management of a combined penile and urethral fracture.

Introduction: This case highlights a rare occurrence of combined penile fracture and urethral injury in a 35-year-old male, emphasizing the critical need for accurate diagnosis and precise surgical intervention in such cases.

Laparoscopic Live Donor Nephrectomy: An Initial Moroccan Experience.

Introduction Laparoscopic nephrectomy is the gold standard for kidney removal in living donors, offering advantages such as reduced pain and quicker recovery. In Morocco, where end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a growing concern, this approach could significantly impact the demand for kidney transplants. This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy in the Moroccan healthcare system.

Emphysematous cystitis, a serious urinary tract infection: A surgery case report.

Introduction And Importance: Emphysematous cystitis is a rare and serious urinary tract infection with gas in the bladder, commonly affecting elderly diabetic women. Prompt evaluation and management are vital due to its potential life-threatening nature, associated with risk factors like diabetes, neurogenic bladders, and urinary stasis.

Case Presentation: A 55-year-old woman with type 1 diabetes presented confusion, lumbar pain, and urinary symptoms.

Adult nephroblastoma or Wilms' tumor: A rare entity - Case report.

Wilms' tumor (nephroblastoma) is rare in adults, comprising less than 5 % of renal cancers. This report details a 48-year-old male with persistent abdominal pain, weight loss, and fatigue, whose imaging showed a large, heterogeneous left renal mass with regional lymph node involvement. Post-nephrectomy histology confirmed nephroblastoma with a triphasic pattern.

A rare case of metastatic prostatic rhabdomyosarcoma in a young adult: Clinical challenges and therapeutic perspectives.

Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the prostate in adults is rare and often diagnosed at an advanced stage, with metastases. We report the case of a 23-year-old young adult presenting with low back pain and dysuria, whose imaging revealed a voluminous metastatic prostate mass. Biopsy confirmed embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma.

Unpredictable recurrence following partial nephrectomy for chromophobe renal cell carcinoma on an ectopic kidney: Case report and review of literature.

Introduction: Renal cell carcinoma is one of the 10 most common malignancies. Partial nephrectomy (PN) is the preferred treatment for localized ones. The incidence of local recurrence (LR) after a PN varies between zero and 17% in the literature.

The latissimus dorsi flap for the repair of an eventration on bladder exstrophy in an adult patient: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: This case report describes the successful use of a latissimus dorsi muscle flap attached to the femoral vessels to cover a large mass loss in a 27-year-old woman with bladder exstrophy. The two-stage reconstruction showed excellent results six months after surgery.

Case Presentation: A 27-year-old woman with bladder exstrophy and previous enterocystoplasty with Mitrofanoff-type urinary diversion combined with a late fascial flap presented 10 years later with disembowelment near the pubic symphysis.

Giant testicular mixed germ cell tumour in an elderly patient: A case report.

Although germ cell tumours can appear in childhood, they are most common around the age of 30. These tumours are highly responsive to chemotherapy, and even cases of relapse have relatively high cure rates. There is limited literature on patients diagnosed after the age of 50, and no specific trials have been carried out in this context.

Clip or staple in laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy? A systematic literature review.

Introduction: Ligation of the renal pedicle is a crucial step in laparoscopic renal harvesting. Currently, two devices are widely used: Hem-o-Lok® clips and staplers. Each has its advantages and disadvantages.

Emphysematous pyelonephritis and emphysematous cystitis in a patient with neurogenic bladder: A case report.

Emphysematous pyelonephritis and cystitis, rare and potentially life-threatening infections marked by gas accumulation in the urinary tract, are described in a 32-year-old male with a history of myelomeningocele and a neurogenic bladder managed by a Benchekroune valve. Clinical and radiological findings confirmed emphysematous pyelonephritis and cystitis. A conservative approach, including urinary drainage and four-week antibiotic treatment (ceftriaxone and metronidazole), led to rapid clinical improvement.

An uncommon case of a bladder injury due to hip prosthesis migration: A case report.

Bladder injuries, although rare, can occur as a complication of hip surgery, particularly when a hip prosthesis migrates into the bladder. We present the case of a 75-year-old woman with a bladder rupture secondary to prosthesis migration requiring repair via a transvesical approach. While total hip arthroplasty (THA) is common, intrapelvic complications such as bladder injury are less commonly reported.
