Objective: To describe the ultrasound characteristics, vascularization pattern (colour Doppler ultrasound) and possible histogenesis of one case of synchronic untesticular seminoma and teratocarcinoma as independent tumor nodules, histologically different, in a 19-year-old patient with testicular mass for eight months.
Methods: Conventional ultrasound, colour Doppler ultrasound, and high resolution Doppler angiogram were performed, analyzing vascular flows. After resection of the tumor, macroscopic and histological sections were related with ultrasound images.
Objective: To report one case of intratesticular varicocele, infrequent pathology (2% of the cases), with a series of ultrasound peculiarities: testicular atrophy and associated parenchymal abnormalities, in a 24-year-old patient with left testicular pain.
Methods: Ultrasound showed severe left varicocele, mixed type, with the regular extratesticular component and dilated subcapsular and mediastinum vessels, with turbulent flows increasing with Valsalva's manoeuvre, as well as an alteration of the ultrasound pattern of the parenchyma, with hypoechoic and hypovascular areas and diminished testicular size.
Discussion/conclusions: Intratesticular varicocele is a rare pathology more frequent in the left testicle, which is frequently associated with extratesticular varicocele.
Objectives: To report a new case of bilateral synchronic testicular tumors, and to perform a bibliographic review on the topic, emphasizing the ultrasound characteristics and oddity of these presentation, which accounts for less than 1% of germ cell testicular tumors.
Methods/results: 29-year-old patient consulting because of an increase of the testicular size over one year. Physical examination and ultrasound revealed a synchronic neoplastic involvement of the testicles, suggesting the radiological diagnosis of bilateral "seminomatous tumor", with "non seminomatous" foci in one of them.
Objective: To describe clinical and pathological findings of a new case of juvenile gangrenous vasculitis of the scrotum, a peculiar and unusual (only 7 cases, approximately, have been previously reported) type of scrotal gangrene described by Piñol in 1973.
Methods: A 24 year-old male presented at the emergency room with a right scrotal necrotising cutaneous lesion and fever. Physical examination, complete blood count, biochemical test, roentgenographic abdominal and thoracic findings, microbiological test and biopsy were performed.
Objectives: Transitional cell carcinoma is the most frequent primary malignant neoplasia obstructive ureteral pathology. Nevertheless, obstructive primary ureteral leiomyosarcoma (stromal tumour) is an unusual disease, diagnosed by histopathological examination of nephroureterectomy surgical specimens.
Methods/results: We report a case of ureteral obstructive uropathy in a 38-year-old woman, with non functional left kidney.
