Primary bladder mucinous adenocarcinoma is a rare genitourinary cancer. Here, we present the case of a 75-year-old woman where pathological and imaging findings led to the diagnosis of primary bladder mucinous adenocarcinoma. She underwent treatment with paclitaxel-ifosfamide-cisplatin (TIP).

Transvaginal organ prolapse, such as small bowel evisceration, is a rare complication after radical cystectomy (RC) in female patients with invasive bladder cancer, However, it often requires emergency surgical repair. Here, we describe our experience with such a case and a review of similar previously reported cases, along with evaluation of the risk factors. We also propose a vaginal reconstruction technique to prevent this complication during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical cystectomy (RARC).

Surgical reconstruction is one of the standard treatments for renal artery aneurysm. However, its intraoperative evaluation is sometimes difficult depending on the operative field, aneurysm morphology, and peripheral blood vessel distribution. This case demonstrated that after renal artery reconstruction, indocyanine green fluorescence angiography is used to evaluate the results of repairing.

Introduction: We performed autologous rectus abdominis fascia sling surgery using Advantage™ following an unsuccessful synthetic midurethral sling.

Case Presentation: At the age of 76 years, the patient experienced stress urinary incontinence recurrence. A 1-h pad test resulted in 259 g of leakage.

Objective: The treatment effects of vibegron have not previously been evaluated in a prospective, non-interventional observational study of elderly Japanese patients, particularly those ≥80 years old. In addition, no reports have referred to residual urine volume in switching cases. We therefore grouped patients by condition and investigated the treatment effects of vibegron on Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS), Overactive Bladder Questionnaire Short Form (OAB-q SF), and residual urine volume in each group.

Background: Ewing's sarcoma is a malignant neoplasm that mainly occurs in skeletal tissue but can rarely arise in soft tissues. Recently, small round cell tumors (including Ewing's sarcoma) caused by chromosomal translocations have been collectively termed Ewing's sarcoma family of tumors. We report a rare case of primary adrenal Ewing's sarcoma family of tumors with tumor thrombus.

The objective was to evaluate the usefulness of sarcopenia and the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as therapeutic efficacy predictors in patients who received pembrolizumab after platinum-based chemotherapy for advanced urothelial carcinoma (aUC). Forty-four patients with aUC were enrolled. Patients' background characteristics and clinical factors, the skeletal muscle index, and the psoas muscle index were evaluated.

Introduction: Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the prostate is an extremely rare tumor with poor prognosis. Squamous cell carcinoma of the prostate is estimated to comprise less than 1% of all prostate carcinomas. We report herein a case with clinical response to docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil chemotherapy with radiotherapy, in a patient with metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the prostate.

Objective: No reports have evaluated the treatment effects of tadalafil by age group in a positive, noninterventional observational study of Japanese men. The present study aimed to evaluate the treatment effects of tadalafil by age group in a positive, noninterventional observational study of Japanese men. We therefore divided patients into 2 groups about the age of 70 years and investigated the treatment effects of tadalafil regarding voiding and storage functions by age group.

Background: To enhance the convenience and reduce the cost of prostate cancer (PC) screening, a one-step prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test was evaluated in a large population. The PSA SPOT test kit enables rapid detection of human PSA in serum or plasma at or above a cutoff level of 4 ng/mL to aid in the diagnosis of PC.

Methods: PC screening using the PSA SPOT test was offered to male participants in educational public lectures that we conducted in various cities.

Introduction: Bilateral renal cell carcinomas with different histological types are rare. We report herein the first description of bilateral renal carcinomas with clear cell renal cell carcinoma and mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma occurring synchronously.

Case Presentation: A 62-year-old man was referred to our hospital with bilateral renal tumors.

Imiquimod is an imidazoquinoline immune response modifier that is used in antiviral and antiallergic creams. Combination therapy using transcutaneous imiquimod and oral sorafenib was previously demonstrated to reduce the tumor burden of renal cell carcinoma growing cutaneously in a mouse model. In the present study, an orthotopic mouse model was used to investigate whether combined treatment with oral sorafenib and transcutaneous imiquimod inhibited renal cell carcinoma growing in the kidney.

We describe a 75-year-old man with undifferentiated prostate cancer that was treated with radiation therapy. He presented at a nearby general hospital with dysuria and pain upon micturition. He was diagnosed with undifferentiated prostate cancer by a needle biopsy and referred to our hospital for further examination and treatment.

We report the case of an 80-year-old man who presented with pathologically diagnosed chromophobe renal cell carcinoma composed of eosinophilic cells with partial papillary growth. The patient had a 2.5 cm diameter renal mass incidentally detected by abdominal ultrasound examination.

The aim of this study was to investigate whether the third-generation nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate (YM529) can inhibit the progression of established bone renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and to elucidate its mechanism. Antiproliferative effect and apoptosis induction of RCC cells and mouse osteoclasts by YM529 and/or interferon-alpha (IFN-α) were evaluated in vitro using cell counting and in vivo using soft X-ray, the TUNEL method and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase stain. For the in vivo study, male athymic BALB/cA Jc1-nu nude mice bearing human RCC cell line RBM1-IT4 cells were treated with YM529 and/or IFN-α.

Background: We report a case of a 33-year-old man who presented with immunoglobulin (Ig)G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) forming a pseudotumor in the left paratesticular region during oral administration of corticosteroid for Wells syndrome, which involves cellulitis with eosinophilia.

Case Presentation: The patient was introduced to our institution from a private hospital with a 3-month history of asymptomatic left scrotal mass. A 5-cm diameter nodule was palpable in the left scrotum.

We report 12 renal cell carcinomas in 6 patients with Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease treated with radiofrequency ablation (RFA). The mean age of the patients was 46 (range 38-53) years (male : 4, female : 2). Computed tomography (CT)-guided transcutaneous RFA was performed under conscious sedation with local anesthetics.

Background: An immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease is important disease in differential diagnosis of tumors in kidney, pancreas, lung and other organs. The imaging findings of IgG4-related kidney diseases are usually expressed as defect contrast region, while cystic formation in kidney is extremely rare. Here, we report a case of IgG4-related tubulointerstitial nephritis with renal cystic change caused by the narrowing or obstruction of collecting duct in renal medulla.

Purpose: We determined whether laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) was useful for the patients with bladder cancer.

Materials And Methods: We investigated the surgical outcome of LRC in the initial 30 patients with bladder cancer.

Results: Mean patients age was 68 (54-81) years old.

Clinically high-grade prostate cancers (PC) with high Gleason scores of 8-10 exhibit rapid growth and are more likely to spread beyond the prostate. These cancer types demonstrate a poor response to androgen deprivation therapy and eventually acquire a castration-resistant phenotype. To identify novel molecular cancer drug targets, we previously analyzed the gene expression profiles of high-grade PC using a cDNA microarray combined with laser microbeam microdissection and found a number of genes that are transactivated in high-grade PC.

Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method and is considered potentially useful for detecting prostate cancer. We evaluated the clinical value of DWI with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps in addition to T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) using 3 tesla (3 T) MRI. Thirty-three patients with elevated prostate specific antigen were evaluated by MRI with T2WI and DWI prior to transperineal template-guided mapping biopsy.
