[Prognostic significance of the microscopic invasion of the renal vein wall in renal cell cancer].

Objectives: International TNM Staging System for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) classifies as T3b when "tumor grossly extends into the renal vein or its segmental branches, or vena cava below the diaphragm". The finding of microscopic invasion of the vein wall is not taken into account for TNM staging. We analyse its prognostic significance in localized and locally advanced RCC.

[Atypical lymphatic dissemination of a testicular tumor from a cryptorquid testicle].

Objectives: Atypical lymphatic spread of germ cell tumors to inguinal lymph nodes has been reported mostly related to prior surgical involvement of the inguinoscrotal region, as in orchiopexy.

Methods: A patient with cryptorchidism and failed orchiopexy in his childhood was diagnosed with a testicular neoplasm. Inguinal orchiectomy was performed.

[Adenomatoid tumor of the epididymis. Report of two cases].

Objective: Tumors of the epididymis are rare. They are unusually benign and adenomatoid tumors are the most frequent. Report of two cases of this kind of tumor of the epididymis.

[Bladder leiomyoma in a male patient].

Objectives: Bladder leiomyoma is an uncommon mesenchymal benign tumor. It is generally asymptomatic and incidentally detected.

Methods: We report a new case managed with transurethral resection without evidence of relapse.

[Penile fracture].

Objectives: Rupture of the corpora cavernosum is an uncommon pathology requiring immediate treatment. We performed a bibliographic search, and analyzed different diagnostic and therapeutic methods.

Methods/results: Two cases of traumatic rupture of the corpus cavernosum are described.
