Novel imaging in prostate cancer.

Imaging of prostate cancer (Pca) presents many challenges as imaging tools aim to improve cancer detection, assessment in biochemical relapse, and disease progression in advanced metastatic stages. Current imaging modalities have strengths but also weaknesses, such as the lack of ability to diagnose micrometastases, to differentiate significant from nonsignificant cancer, and to diagnose advanced disease at low prostate-specific antigen values. Some of the modalities appear promising in increasing the sensitivity and specificity rate, particularly in recurrent and advanced disease (e.

Ovarian metastasis of renal cell carcinoma: Clinical and pathological presentation of a case.

A 82-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with complaints of weight loss, loss of appetite, abdominal pain and a palpable pelvic mass. Abdominal imaging revealed a tumour at the upper pole of the right kidney with a maximum diameter of 8 cm and a second tumour in the pelvis, mostly solid, with a maximum diameter of 16 cm, that seemed to originate from the left ovary. As she was initially considered to have two distinct tumours, through a single transabdominal incision, she simultaneously underwent right radical nephrectomy and also bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for the tumour that originated from the left ovary.

Spontaneous rupture of renal pelvis as a rare complication of ureteral lithiasis.

Spontaneous rupture of renal pelvis with urine extravasation is a rare condition and usually associated with obstructing ureteric calculus. It poses diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas, while a stepwise approach for the confirmation of diagnosis, treatment and follow up is needed. We present a case of a 75-year old male patient who had a renal pelvis rupture with perirenal extravasation of urine due to a 4 mm stone located at the right ureterovesical junction.

Minimal invasive treatment of benign anastomotic uretero-ileal stricture in Hautmann neobladder with thermoexpandable ureteral metal stent.

Technical challenges and increased morbidity of open reconstruction for uretero-ileal strictures have led to a search for minimal invasive treatments as an alternative solution. The insertion of a thermo-expandable ureteral Memokath 051(®) metal stent across benign uretero-ileal anastomotic stricture in orthotopic neobladder has not been described in the English literature. Herein, we describe a case of a woman with a Hautmann neobladder and a 3.

Prostatic abscess: case report and review of the literature.

We report a case of prostatic abscess in a 52 year old male with a history of diabetes mellitus. The abscess was treated successfully with surgical drainage by transurethral unroofing of the cavity of the abscess. The use of transrectal ultrasound is valuable in the diagnosis, treatment and follow up of the abscess, while drainage is usually necessary for the treatment, which can be done by transrectal, transperineal and transurethral route.
