- 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
- Testicular Large cell calcifying Sertoli cell tumors (LCCSTs) are rare tumors that mainly affect young males and can present as multiple growths on both testicles.
- Diagnosing benign LCCSTs is critical to avoid unnecessary surgeries and to protect the patient's ability to have children, relying on patient history, lab tests, and imaging.
- A case study is presented where a young male with bilateral benign LCCSTs was treated using a method that preserved testicular function, highlighting key clinical, radiological, and pathological traits.

Objective: To compare emergency with elective ureteroscopy (URS) for the treatment of a single ureteric stone.
Patients And Methods: The files of adult patients with a single ureteric stone were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with fever or turbid urine on passage of the guidewire beside the stone underwent ureteric stenting or nephrostomy drainage.
Objective: To compare efficacy and safety of parecoxib and paracetamol for treatment of acute renal colic due to ureteric stones.
Materials And Methods: A randomized, double blinded, controlled trial included adult patients presented to emergency department with acute renal colic due to ureteric calculi between June 2019 and August 2020. Patients with hypersensitivity to either drug, peptic ulcer, coronary ischemia, peripheral vascular or cerebrovascular disease, hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh score >10) or chronic kidney disease stage 4 or 5 were excluded.
Introduction And Hypothesis: This study aimed to translate and validate the 8-item overactive bladder questionnaire (OAB-V8).
Methods: Utilizing a multistep process, the English version of the OAB-V8 was translated into Arabic by three urologists and one independent translator. It was validated by asking 46 patients with overactive bladder and 58 healthy individuals to complete the questionnaire.
Biliary colic is a visceral pain caused by attempts of the gallbladder or bile duct to overcome the obstruction in the cystic duct or ampulla of Vater. Obstruction can be due to different etiologies such as stone, mass, worm, and rarely by mucus plug.
