[Prostate cancer: comparative study of stage T1a and stage T1b].

Objective: To compare the epidemiological profiles and histoprognostic factors of two groups of prostate cancer: T1a versus T1b.

Materials And Methods: Between January 1996 and December 2005, 1359 patients were operated for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in our urology department. All patients had a PSA less than 4 ng/ml, an adenomatous prostate on digital rectal examination with a homogeneous appearance on prostatic ultrasonography.

[Uroflowmetry in children: Prospective study of normal parameters].

Introduction: Uroflowmetry is the simplest urodynamic test to study the lower urinary tract. Uroflowmetry parameters, especially maximum flow rate, are important, but are difficult to interpret due to the lack of normal uroflowmetry data in children.

Objective: The objective of this prospective clinical study was to evaluate normal uroflowmetry parameters in a prospective series of 202 children between the ages of 5 and 15 years.

[Florid glandular cystitis].

Introduction: Florid glandular cystitis is a rare benign bladder tumour, which can simulate a malignant lesion.

Material And Methods: Over a period of fifteen years, we have observed one case of recurrent florid glandular cystitis.

Results: This 48-year-old patient presented with terminal haematuria and right low back pain with a history of endoscopic resection of a bladder tumour.

[Encrusted cystitis].

Encrusted cystitis is a chronic inflammation of the bladder mucosa associated with calcified deposits induced by numerous bacteria in an alkaline medium. Corynebacterium urealyticum or group D2 is most frequently incriminated. Encrusted cystitis is a rare disease with non-specific clinical features.

[Adrenal myelolipoma].

Adrenal myelolipoma is a benign, non-secreting tumour, which can be complicated by pain or retroperitoneal haemorrhage. The diagnosis is based on CT or preferably MRI. Surgery may be necessary in the case of complications.

[Leiomyoma of the urinary bladder].

Benign mesenchymal tumors of the bladder are rare. Leiomyoma is the most common mesenchymal tumor of the bladder. We report a new case.
