Updated National Study of Functional Graft Renal Cell Carcinomas: Are They a Different Entity?

Objective: To analyze de novo graft carcinoma characteristics from our updated national multicentric retrospective cohort.

Methods: Thirty-two transplant centers have retrospectively completed the database. This database concerns all kidney graft tumors including urothelial, and others type but excludes renal lymphomas over 31 years.

Stone induced ureteral rupture: The worst-case scenario. A case report.

Forniceal rupture secondary to acute ureteral obstruction is relatively common. However, spontaneous ureteral rupture is less frequently encountered. Most reported cases were stone related, localized at the ureteropelvic junction and managed in a minimally invasive manner.

De novo renal carcinoma arising in non-functional kidney graft: a national retrospective study.

Aim: Characteristics of renal carcinoma arising in non-functional graft in renal transplant recipients (RTR) are unknown. We studied a large national retrospective cohort to analyze circumstances of diagnosis, treatment and outcome compared to the literature.

Methods: Study included all RTR presenting with kidney graft tumors irrespective of the histology, except those with lymphoma and including those tumors arising in non-functional renal graft.

Kidney Graft Urothelial Carcinoma: Results From a Multicentric Retrospective National Study.

Objective: To calculate the incidence of renal graft urothelial carcinoma in renal transplant recipients in a national large retrospective cohort and to analyze circumstances of diagnosis, treatment and outcome.

Material And Methods: We conducted a national retrospective, multicenter study. Thirty two transplant centers were asked to report its cases of kidney graft tumors and the number of kidney transplantations performed since the beginning of their transplantation activity.

Encrusted Uretero-pyelitis: Case Report.

Encrusted uretero-pyelitis is a rare and serious disease, related to the presence of calcifications in the pelvicalyceal system and ureter, associated with chronic urinary tract infection. In most cases, the causal agent of this infection lithiasis is corynebacterium urealyticum. The specific aspect of calcifications on CT scan can help to suggest diagnosis.
