Resection and Reconstruction of the Inferior Vena Cava Using a Tunneled Peritoneal Graft for Renal Tumor With Thrombus: Venous Compensation via the Azygos Vein Following Early Graft Occlusion.

Inferior vena cava (IVC) invasion by tumor thrombus poses a significant surgical challenge, often requiring vascular reconstruction. Standard methods, including prosthetic and autologous vein grafts, have limitations such as infection risks, anticoagulation demands, and increased costs. We present the case of a 66-year-old male with a right renal tumor (T3bN0M0, Neves Zincke II) and gross hematuria, who underwent radical nephrectomy with open thrombectomy.

Metastatic Penile Adenocarcinoma in the Context of Rectal Cancer.

The presence of penile metastatic lesions proceeding from primary rectal tumors is a rare entity usually associated with a poor prognosis. Clinical presentation and localization may vary. There exists no consensus gold standard treatment for penile metastatic lesions, and there is continuous debate on whether lesions should undergo surgical, chemotherapeutic or palliative management.

[Penile calciphylaxis: 5-year experience and literature review].

Introduction: Necrosis of the penis is a rare condition that may occur as a result of infectious dissemination, circulatory disorders, or even in patients with penile prostheses. It has been reported in a few patients on dialysis, usually associated with diabetes mellitus, cholesterol embolism, and calciphylaxis.

Case Reports: Three patients with this condition seen at our hospital in the last 5 years are reported.
