Objectives: To evaluate the effect of age in morbidity-mortality and outcomes of the surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Method: We performed a retrospective analysis of the medical records of 305 patients over 70 years undergoing surgery for BPH between 1999-2003, grouped in four categories depending on ages 70-80 years and over 80, and type of surgery (transurethral resection or open prostatectomy). The variables evaluated were: American society of anesthesiologists (ASA) operative risk classification, surgical indication, preoperative factors, postoperative outcome and follow-up.
Objective: We report a new case of bladder leiomyosarcoma in a young female patient. We review its features and different treatment options.

Objectives: To report the case-series of Leydig cell tumors diagnosed at our center, and to perform a bibliographic review on the topic.
Methods: Retrospective review of the clinical records of all patients with the diagnosis of Leydig cell tumor in our center over the last 12 years. We evaluated the clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic features, as well as outcomes.
Objectives: We report one case of solitary fibrous tumor of the tunica vaginalis, a benign paratesticular lesion.
Methods: Surgical exploration with intraoperative biopsy and excision of the lesion was undertaken, leaving the testicle and epididymis undamaged.
Results: Intraoperative biopsy revealed the presence of fibrous tissue without malignant cellularity.
Objectives: To report one case of pseudotumoral lesion of the iliac ureter with obstructive uropathy leading to loss of function of the renal unit.
Methods: 66-year-old male being studied for BPH who presents with a self-limited monosymptomatic hematuria.
Results: Renal ultrasound detected grade II pyelocaliectasis of the right kidney.
