Migration of clips to the colon after laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.

A 78-year-old man was treated with laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for a 4 cm tumour in the lower pole of the left kidney. The patient was discharged 2 days postoperatively. Preoperatively there was no sign of metastasis; the pathology indicated complete removal of the tumour, a renal cell carcinoma.

[Ureteral endometriosis as the cause of septic shock and single-sided renal failure].

Ureteral endometriosis is a rare variant of an otherwise common condition, which is primarily seen among premenopausal women. The symptoms and the clinical findings include silent loss of kidney function, gross haematuria, abdominal pain, hypertension and tumour suspicion. We present a rare case of intrinsic ureteral endometriosis resulting in a life-threatening infection and loss of a kidney.

[Inflammatory pseudotumour of the liver].

A case study of inflammatory pseudotumour of the liver (IPL) is related. The patient presented with symptoms, biochemistry and ultrasonic findings highly indicative of a malignant disease. However, a core needle biopsy revealed inflammatory pseudotumour of the liver, an infrequent diagnosis with only about 200 cases to be found in the literature.
