Pleomorphic giant cell carcinoma of the prostate: A case report and mini‑review of the literature.

Pleomorphic giant cell carcinoma (PGCC) is an exceptionally uncommon form of prostate adenocarcinoma. It consists of unusually large and irregular cells with varied nuclei. The present study describes a rare case of prostatic PGCC.

Penile calciphylaxis with penoscrotal necrosis: A case report with literature review.

Penile calciphylaxis, also known as calcific uremic arteriolopathy is an uncommon condition of the penile vessels due to its extensive vascular network. The aim of this report is to report a very rare case of penile calciphylaxis with penoscrotal necrosis. A 54-year-old male patient presented with progressive penoscrotal necrosis within a duration of one month.

Synchronous ipsilateral papillary renal cell carcinoma and urothelial carcinoma: A case report.

Concurrence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and urothelial carcinoma (UC) in the same kidney is a rare phenomenon. It is critical to define this unusual disease to avoid a delay in diagnosis and improve the prognosis. The present study describes a case of a 71-year-old patient with synchronous ipsilateral RCC and UC of the renal pelvis and ureter.

Evaluation of mini-PCNL and RIRS for renal stones 1-2 cm in an economically challenged setting: A prospective cohort study.

Introduction: Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) and mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mPCNL) are viable options for the treatment of renal calculi 1-2 cm. Both have their pros and cons, but also vary in costs. We aimed to evaluate them in an economically challenged setting.

Mullerianosis of the urinary bladder; A case report.

Introduction: Mullerianosis is a sporadic condition of the urinary bladder. The study aims to present a case of mullerianosis with a brief literature review.

Case Presentation: A 52-year-old lady presented with hematuria for one-year duration.

Direct Comparison of Pneumatic and Ho:YAG Laser Lithotripsy in the Management of Lower Ureteric Stones.

Introduction: Besides extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy, semi-rigid ureteroscopy (URS) has become an equal therapy of choice for the treatment of most distal ureteric stones. Before the wide availability of laser lithotripsy as a tool for stone fragmentation, pneumatic lithotripsy was, and still is, widely used. In a country like Iraq, availability and affordability are the huge questions asked.

Typical leiomyoma of the scrotum: A rare case report.

Introduction: Scrotal leiomyomas are benign tumors arising from the dartos layer of the scrotal wall. The exact cause of this tumor is not yet clear. Malignant transformation to leiomyosarcomas has been reported.

Mini- versus standard percutaneous nephrolithotomy for treatment of pediatric renal stones: is smaller enough?

Introduction: Miniaturized percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) has gained increased popularity owing to efforts in recent years to lower peri-operative morbidity while maintaining a high stone-free rate (SFR).

Objective: The outcomes of pediatric renal stones treated by mini-PCNL (MPCNL) versus standard PCNL (SPCNL) were retrospectively assessed.

Study Design: A retrospective data analysis of 134 consecutive patients younger than 17 years who underwent PCNL between January 2014 and July 2018 was performed.
