Objectives: To report a case of eosinophilic cystopathy associated to infiltrative transitional-cell carcino ma of the bladder in an adult.
Methods: We describe the case of a 79-year-old wo man who complains of meso and hipogastric pain since several months before, and to whom a parietal thickening of the bladder was detected by means of abdominal CT scan during the diagnostic work up for a digestive disease indicated by the Internal Medicine Service. Cistoscopy confirmed that finding, together with areas of greater endoluminal protrusion.
Objectives: To study quality of life in patients from the health area of Zamora diagnosed of prostate adenocarcinoma between 2000-2005 treated with maximal androgen blockade (MAB). To evaluate the pharmacoeconomics of the treatment.
Methods: Basal, 12-month, 24-month and 36-month application of the health-related quality of life measurement instrument EORTC QLQ-C30 to the population sample (n= 111), as well as a control sample (n= 100).
Objectives: To analize the influence that maximal androgen blockade (MAB) exerts on quality of life in patients from the health area of Zamora diagnosed of prostate adenocarcinoma between 2000-2005.
Methods: Basal, 12-month, 24-month and 36-month application of the health-related quality of life measurement instrument EORTC QLQ-PR25 to the population sample (n= 111), as well as a control sample (n= 100). We performed a comparative study of the outcomes between groups; between various time measurements in MAB patients; and inter-categories/ intervals of some variables in patients with hormonal deprivation therapy (third year of follow-up).
Objectives: To report a new case of bladder mullerianosis.
Methods: We present the case of a 30 year old female patient with history of miscarriage, who refers voiding dis-turbances with menstruations. Vaginal ultrasound showed an exophytic bladder lesion, which was confirmed by cistoscopy.
Objectives: To report a new case of bladder leiomyoma in an adult.
Methods: 64-year-old female patient consulting for a four-month hematuria diagnosed of a bladder intraluminal tumor on ultrasound during a routine gynecologic revision. Cystoscopy confirmed the presence of the tumor.
Objectives: To report one case of retroperitoneal cystic lymphangioma in an adult patient.
Methods: We describe the case of a 70 year-old female patient who complained of periumbilical pain and progressive increases of abdominal perimeter over a few months. Physical examination showed a great abdominal mass; CT scan confirmed its cystic nature.
Objectives: To report one case of giant inguinal scrotal bladder hernia associated with incipient bilateral obstructive uropathy.
Methods: We report the case of a 54-year-old male patient presenting with two-time interrupted voiding, with the need of scrotal compression to complete voiding. Physical examination showed a great left inguinal scrotal hernia with significant post void residual before compression.
Objectives: To report one case of hypertension in association with congenital unilateral stenosis of the ureteropelvic junction (UPJ).
Methods: We describe the case of a 19- year-old male patient without urologic symptoms who was incidentally diagnosed of high blood pressure. Radiological tests showed right hydronephrosis suggestive UPJ stenosis.
Objectives: To report one case of adverse reaction to tamsulosin.
Methods: We describe the case of an 80-year-old patient who was started on alpha blocker treatment after acute urinary retention with the aim to perform a voiding test.
Results: The patient presented self-limited episodes of disorientation in time and space and abnormal behaviour in coincidence with the first three administrations of the drug.
Objectives: To report one case of malignant recurrence of a cutaneous horn of the glans penis.
Methods: We report the case of a 66-year-old male patient presenting with penile discomfort over several months. Physical examination showed a corneal lesion in the glans-penis, the biopsy of which was reported as hyperkeratosis on top of pseudoepiteliomatous hyperplasia.
Objectives: We report one case of Metacronous transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the prostatic urethra in a patient with history of left nephroureterectomy 22 years before for urothelial neoplasia of the upper urinary tract.
Methods: We describe the case of a 56-year-old male patient who presents with oligosymptomatic hematuria for several months. Cystourethroscopy showed irregular hyperemic lesions in the prostatic urethra, cold biopsy of which showed urothelial atypia.
Objectives: To report a new case of infiltrative small cell bladder cancer.
Methods: We describe the case of a 60-year-old male patient who consulted for monosymptomatic hematuria over a few weeks. Cystoscopy showed a neoplasia in the anterior wall of the bladder.
Objectives: To report one case of metachronous recurrence of idiopathic high flow priapism. METHODS. We describe the case of a 28-year-old male patient who presents with penile partial tumescence which started 10 hours before and history of a similar episode seven years before.

Methods: We describe the case of a 47-year-old male patient who referred an increase in size of the right hemiscrotum lasting seven months. Physical examination evidenced an intra scrotal mass of elastic consistency, which was confirmed by ultrasound.
Objective: To report a new case of low grade endometrial stroma sarcoma late relapse involving bladder wall and ureter.
Methods: We report the case of a 64 year old female with history of Wertheim-Meigs hysterectomy 30 years before for uterine sarcomatous tumour, who presented with intermittent macroscopic haematuria episodes associated with mild elevation of serum creatinine. Image diagnostic tests--mainly CT-scan--evidenced a right pelvic mass involving the bladder wall and the homolateral distal ureter.
Objective: To report a case of priapism secondary to leukemia, with special reference to the initial treatment in the emergency services.
Methods: A 53-year-old male with chronic myeloid leukemia presented with prolonged involuntary painful erection of 12 hours' duration. The physical examination and particularly the cavernosal blood gas study, indicated low flow priapism.
Objective: To report an additional case of paratesticular leiomyosarcoma.
Methods: Herein we describe a 68-year-old male patient that presented with a growing, indolent, right inguinoscrotal lesion that he had noted several weeks earlier. Physical examination showed a mass involving the distal right spermatic cord and was confirmed by ultrasound and CT.

Objective: To report an additional case of liposarcoma of the spermatic cord.
