Mixed epithelial and stromal renal tumour in a 12-year-old boy.

Mixed epithelial and stromal tumour of the kidney (MESTK) is a rare kidney neoplasm that occurs almost exclusively in perimenopausal women.

Early elimination dysfunction associated with cephalic anomalies: is there a link?

Unlabelled: Elimination dysfunction in children can be related to three main aetiologies: 1) spinal cord anomalies, 2) social and environmental disorders, and 3) syndromic elimination disorders. From this last group, we report cases of a previously undescribed combination of elimination disorders and cephalic anomalies symptoms which may constitute a proper entity for which conventional treatments may fail. A comprehensive review of congenital elimination disorders is given.

Purpose: The objective of this study is the comparison of 2 surgical procedures in the treatment of primary anterior hypospadias including the evaluation of short-term and long-term results.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective study of the results of the modified Mathieu procedure performed in 392 patients presenting with previously untreated anterior hypospadias at one center by the same experienced surgeon is compared with the results of the modified Duplay procedure performed in 457 patients in a second center by a second experienced surgeon, both series spanning a period of 10 years.

Results: Follow-up ranged from 21 months to 10 years.

Peripheral osteoarticular tuberculosis in children: 106 case-reports.

Herein is reported a case of right ischemic ureteral stenosis following a reimplantation of the ureter for high grade reflux secondary to posterior urethral valves with only one functioning kidney. A long ureteral defect was bridged successfully by appendix interposition and then reimplanted in the bladder at four years of age.

[Gastrointestinal system duplications in children (19 cases)].

Unlabelled: Digestive duplications are a rare condition in children, characterized by an important anatomoclinical polymorphism. Diagnosis suspected on clinics and evoked by radiology, require histological confirmation.

Patients And Methods: Nineteen children with duplications were managed in our department, from 1989 to 2001: their hospital chart was retrospectively studied.
