Primary metastatic prostate cancer to the orbit is exceedingly rare. Benign lesions, including meningioma, have demonstrated PSMA expression and can be visualized using PSMA-based PET tracers. We report the findings of F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT in a 76-year-old man with progressive confusion and long-standing blindness of the left eye.

Objectives: To describe the prostate cancer (PCa) detection rate, including clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa), in a large cohort of patients who underwent transperineal ultrasonography-guided systematic prostate biopsy (TPB-US) using a probe-mounted transperineal access system, with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) cognitive fusion in case of a Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System grade 3-5 lesion, under local anaesthesia in an outpatient setting. Additionally, to compare the incidence of procedure-related complications with a cohort of patients undergoing transrectal ultrasonography-guided (TRB-US) and transrectal MRI-guided biopsies (TRB-MRI).

Patients And Methods: This was an observational cohort study in men who underwent TPB-US prostate biopsy in a large teaching hospital.

Vaginal stones are rare and therefore a delay in accurate diagnosis often occurs. We present a 54-year old woman with multiple sclerosis who was diagnosed with a primary vaginal stone. Initially, she presented with recurring urinary tract infections (UTI) and macroscopic haematuria to the urologist.

Purpose: Fiducial markers at the borders of bladder tumors are useful to facilitate target delineation radiation therapy (RT) and offer the possibility of image guided RT for a focal boost. Our purpose was to evaluate the feasibility and technical performance of cystoscopy-guided placement of hydrogel markers in patients with bladder cancer referred for RT.

Methods And Materials: Ours was a prospective, multicenter, feasibility, and utility study.

Objective: To estimate whether a strategy of immediate surgery was noninferior to a strategy based on discordant urodynamic findings followed by individually tailored therapy in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI).

Methods: A multicenter diagnostic cohort study with an embedded noninferiority randomized controlled trial was conducted in six academic and 24 nonacademic Dutch hospitals. Women with predominant SUI eligible for surgical treatment based on clinical assessment were included between January 2009 and November 2010.
