Discussion: Despite the rarity of malignant pheochromocytomas, they present significant clinical challenges.

Successful management of a combined penile and urethral fracture.

Introduction: This case highlights a rare occurrence of combined penile fracture and urethral injury in a 35-year-old male, emphasizing the critical need for accurate diagnosis and precise surgical intervention in such cases.

Case Presentation: After a mishap during sexual intercourse, the patient faced intense penile pain, swelling, and urethrorrhagia. Advanced diagnostic methods, particularly MRI, confirmed a disruption in the tunica albuginea within the left corpora cavernosa.

Laparoscopic Live Donor Nephrectomy: An Initial Moroccan Experience.

Introduction Laparoscopic nephrectomy is the gold standard for kidney removal in living donors, offering advantages such as reduced pain and quicker recovery. In Morocco, where end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a growing concern, this approach could significantly impact the demand for kidney transplants. This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy in the Moroccan healthcare system.

Emphysematous cystitis, a serious urinary tract infection: A surgery case report.

Introduction And Importance: Emphysematous cystitis is a rare and serious urinary tract infection with gas in the bladder, commonly affecting elderly diabetic women. Prompt evaluation and management are vital due to its potential life-threatening nature, associated with risk factors like diabetes, neurogenic bladders, and urinary stasis.

Case Presentation: A 55-year-old woman with type 1 diabetes presented confusion, lumbar pain, and urinary symptoms.

Adult nephroblastoma or Wilms' tumor: A rare entity - Case report.

Wilms' tumor (nephroblastoma) is rare in adults, comprising less than 5 % of renal cancers. This report details a 48-year-old male with persistent abdominal pain, weight loss, and fatigue, whose imaging showed a large, heterogeneous left renal mass with regional lymph node involvement. Post-nephrectomy histology confirmed nephroblastoma with a triphasic pattern.

NOVEL USE OF NILE TILAPIA FISH () SKIN AS XENOGRAFT IN ZOOLOGICAL SPECIES.

Nile tilapia fish skin () has been increasingly used in human and veterinary medicine in xenografts for treatment of burn wounds. The objective of this study was to self-prepare the graft using a Brazilian patent (WO2017/035615 A1) as a guide and apply it to full-thickness wounds in zoological species ( = 4). The wounds, which were all characterized as contaminated wounds in which the entire dermal layer was missing, had all previously been surgically debrided and treated with traditional wound-healing techniques without success.

A rare case of metastatic prostatic rhabdomyosarcoma in a young adult: Clinical challenges and therapeutic perspectives.

Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the prostate in adults is rare and often diagnosed at an advanced stage, with metastases. We report the case of a 23-year-old young adult presenting with low back pain and dysuria, whose imaging revealed a voluminous metastatic prostate mass. Biopsy confirmed embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma.

Unpredictable recurrence following partial nephrectomy for chromophobe renal cell carcinoma on an ectopic kidney: Case report and review of literature.

Introduction: Renal cell carcinoma is one of the 10 most common malignancies. Partial nephrectomy (PN) is the preferred treatment for localized ones. The incidence of local recurrence (LR) after a PN varies between zero and 17% in the literature.

Predominance of in candidemia among patients with solid tumor cancer in Oman: A retrospective study.

Objectives: species frequently cause bloodstream infections; however, there is a lack of epidemiological studies on candidemia in Oman.

Methods: To address this, we conducted a retrospective study at Sultan Qaboos Comprehensive Cancer and Research Center from October 2021 to October 2023.

Results: Our study identified 27 episodes of candidemia among 26 patients with cancer, with an incidence of 4.

The Manchester Scoring System for predicting BRCA1/2 mutations underperforms in Arabic Omani breast cancer patients.

Risk assessment models that are applied to assess the lifetime risk of cancer and pathogenic variant risk are more commonly used in Western populations. Using these models, without validation, for non-Western populations has been questioned. This study aimed to evaluate the use and consistency of the Manchester Scoring System as a risk assessment model for the Omani population.

Giant testicular mixed germ cell tumour in an elderly patient: A case report.

Although germ cell tumours can appear in childhood, they are most common around the age of 30. These tumours are highly responsive to chemotherapy, and even cases of relapse have relatively high cure rates. There is limited literature on patients diagnosed after the age of 50, and no specific trials have been carried out in this context.
