Pelvic lipomatosis (PL) involves nonmalignant excess fat growth in perirectal and perivesical areas, gaining recognition over three decades. This review addresses its clinicopathological aspects amid controversies, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive examination of current literature. This report outlines a 42-year-old man's diagnostic journey for persistent urological symptoms, ultimately identified as PL.

- Tubulocystic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a rare kidney cancer recognized by the WHO in 2016, known for its slow growth and low metastasis rates.
- A 35-year-old man was diagnosed with tubulocystic RCC after experiencing flank pain, with imaging revealing different classifications of a renal cyst.
- This case emphasizes the need to consider tubulocystic RCC when evaluating renal cysts and solid masses in order to develop an appropriate treatment plan.
Article Synopsis
- Scrotal pain and swelling can have many causes, making prompt evaluation crucial, especially for uncommon issues like spermatic vein thrombosis.
- Spermatic vein thrombosis often leads to orchialgia and requires careful diagnosis, including imaging techniques.
- A case study presented shows effective conservative treatment of bilateral unprovoked spermatic vein thrombosis with anticoagulation, resulting in symptom resolution.
Article Synopsis
- A case study is presented about a 39-year-old male with a rare benign squamous cell papilloma in his bladder, which appeared as a cauliflower-like mass that could be mistaken for cancer.
- The tumor exhibited characteristics such as extensive keratinization and no signs of nuclear atypia or stromal invasion, confirming its benign nature.
- The manuscript includes a summary of this case along with the first operative video showing the transurethral resection of the papilloma and treatment of associated bladder stones.
Article Synopsis
- Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) is a serious complication that can occur during the supermini percutaneous nephrolithotomy (SMP) procedure, especially in specific surgical positions.
- This case study is the first to report ACS linked to SMP performed in the Galdakao-modified supine Valdivia position, discussing potential risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment options.
- Early detection and drainage of intra-abdominal fluid can significantly reduce the risks associated with ACS, making quick intervention crucial for better outcomes.
Aim: Shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) is a well-established modality in the treatment of urolithiasis. Studying the effect of urine pH on SWL success is appealing as pH can be manipulated before SWL to insure a better outcome.
Materials And Methods: This is a prospective study performed at a tertiary medical center.
Granulosa cell tumours (GCTs) can be either juvenile or adult type, and more commonly occur in the ovaries. Adult-type GCTs of the testis (AGCTT) are very rare and only 46 cases have previously been reported. We report here on a 48-year-old Filipino man with a left testicular AGCTT, which measured 1.

Patients And Methods: Between June 2008 and September 2012, 651 patients had a transrectal ultrasonography-guided biopsy of the prostate (TRUSBP) at our centre. The indications for a biopsy were a high PSA level (>4 ng/mL), or an abnormal DRE result.
