Successful surgical management of massive hemoretroperitoneum caused by spontaneous rupture of retroperitoneal lymph node metastases in a patient with advanced mixed germ cell tumor: a COVID-19 pandemic-related surgical challenge.

Background: Spontaneous rapture of a germ cell tumor (GCT) metastases causing massive hemoretroperitoneum in a patient without choriocarcinoma component who has not received previous systemic chemotherapy is an exceedingly rare event. In such a devastating case scenario, a high index of clinical suspicion for early diagnosis and appropriate management is crucial.

Case Presentation: We report on a 25-year-old male patient with a 4-month history of orchiectomy for testicular GCT (tGCT), who presented in the emergency department with acute abdomen and hemodynamic instability.

Plexiform Schwannoma of the Penis: A Rare Subtype of Genital Schwannoma.

Schwannomas are benign, encapsulated neurogenic tumors which present in diverse histological subtypes despite the limited variety of their cellular constituents. These include the cellular, ancient, cystic, epithelioid, melanotic, psammomatous, schwannoma with pseudoglandular elements, and plexiform varieties. The plexiform schwannoma (PS) represents 4.

Current role of local treatments for erectile dysfunction in the real-life setting.

Purpose Of Review: Local treatments for erectile dysfunction include intraurethral alprostadil as well as topical alprostadil cream. They are alternative treatment options to oral or intracavernosal treatments that could overcome unmet needs in patient treatment.

Recent Findings: Intraurethral and topical alprostadil are two local methods of delivering an erectogenic drug to the patient.

Bilateral synchronous occurrence of three different histological types of renal tumor: a case report.

Introduction: Renal cell carcinomas account for 85% of all renal neoplasms. With the introduction of modern imaging modalities, there has been an increased diagnosis of renal tumors. Recent studies have shown that partial nephrectomy can be as safe as radical nephrectomy for smaller renal tumors.

Terazosin modifies the content of glycosaminoglycans and the activity of matrix metalloproteinase 2 in the rat ventral prostate.

Objectives: We have investigated the effects of terazosin on the content of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), the activity of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9, and the content of tissue inhibitors of MMP (TIMP) in the ventral prostate of Wistar rats.

Methods: Rats were treated with terazosin (0.12, 1.
