[Tuberculous vesicovaginal fistula complicated by bladder stones: about an exceptional case].

Vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) continues to be a major public health problem in developing countries.

But what is special about this study is that these rare clinical features are due to tuberculosis.

[Neglected scrotal trauma revealing embryonic paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma: about a case].

Embryonic paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare mesenchymal tumor constituting a diagnostic and therapeutic emergency. Localized forms have a favorable prognosis.

[Bladder exstrophy with adenocarcinoma in an adult patient: a case report].

Bladder exstrophy is rare malformation pathology with an incidence of about 1 in 50,000 newborns. Not treated in time exposes to two main complications: kidney failure and bladder plaque cancer with a risk up to 200 times normal, which usually occurs around the fourth and fifth decade. In 95% it is adenocarcinoma and 5% squamous cell carcinoma.

[Not Available].

Giant urinary bladder stone is defined as a stone with a weight higher than 100 g. It is rare in women, accounting for approximately 2%. Its occurrence in the urinary bladder does not exceed 5% of the whole of the urinary tract.

Introduction: A female urethral diverticulum is an uncommon pathologic entity. It can manifest with a variety of symptoms involving the lower urinary tract. Our objective is to describe the various aspects of the diverticulum of the female urethra such as etiology, diagnosis and treatment.

Bilateral ureteral obstruction revealing a benign prostatic hypertrophy: a case report and review of the literature.

Introduction: Prostatic hyperplasia is the most frequent tumor in men older than 50 years of age. Bilateral hydronephrosis secondary to benign prostatic hypertrophy is a rare condition most often due to vesicoureteral reflux. Herein we report a case of a patient with bilateral hydronephrosis with distal ureter obstruction caused by detrusor hypertrophy due to prostatic hyperplasia, our analysis of the clinical data and a review of the relevant published literature.

Emphysematous cystitis and emphysematous pyelitis: a clinically misleading association.

We present a rare case of emphysematous cystitis associated with an emphysematous pyelonephritis in a diabetic Arab man who was admitted in a confusional state. A 60-year-old man was admitted to the emergency department with confusion and hypogastric mass. The Clinical examination found comatose patient with a mass in the tympanic hypogastric percussion.

Background: Testicular cancer is a rare disease. The incidence of testicular cancer in undescended testicles is of 3 to 48 times greater than in the general population. In the developed countries, the existence of undescended testicles in the adult population is rare, due to systematic practice of elective orchidopexy before the second year of life and orchiectomy in post adolescent males with undescended testicles.

Introduction: Testicular cancer is the most common malignancy in men 15- to 35-years-old. The North American standard classification divides testicular cancers into germ cell tumors and non-germ cell tumors. The lymphatic spread of germ cell tumors usually involves the retroperitoneal lymph nodes.

Abscess of urachal remnants presenting with acute abdomen: a case series.

Introduction: Urachal diseases are rare and may develop from a congenital anomaly in which a persistent or partial reopening of the fetal communication between the bladder and the umbilicus persists. The most frequently reported urachal anomalies in adults are infected urachal cyst and urachal carcinoma. The diagnosis of this entity is not always easy because of the rarity of these diseases and the atypical symptoms at presentation.
