Pediatric inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor with late metastasis to the lung: case report and review of the literature.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) are challenging lesions with respect to classification, differential diagnosis, and biologic potential. In children, extrapulmonary IMTs, particularly those from the abdomen or mesentery, are generally aggressive, with frequent local recurrences. There are few documented patients with distant metastasis, and most of these had metastases at presentation or developed metastases within months to a few years.

[Peyronie's disease. Hemodynamic and morphological conditions and treatment. Apropos of 14 cases].

A study of fourteen cases of Peyronie's disease with an evaluation of the hemodynamics of the erectile function shows that erectile dysfunction, as a complication, is mainly due to abnormal venous drainage from the corpora cavernosa. This article discusses the therapeutical conclusions to be drawn, in the light of the results of seven operations.

Intracavernous injection of papaverine as a diagnostic and therapeutic method in erectile failure.

The effect of intracavernous injection of papaverine (ICIP) has been investigated in 45 men: 6 normally potent volunteers, 10 psychogenic, and 29 organic impotent males. The first two groups obtained erections within 10 minutes, lasting from 1 to 4 hours, after injection of 80 mg of papaverine. Those belonging to the organic group experienced delayed, weaker and shorter erections, related to various degrees of arterial and/or venous and neurologic lesions.

[Investigation and surgical treatment of vasculogenic impotency (author's transl)].

Vasculogenic impotency does exist. Series of 45 operated cases with at least 6 month follow up give the main points of diagnosis and surgical new methods. Organic impotency is assessed by permanent leakage of morning erection, and monitoring of nocturnal penile tumescence (P.
