[Current value of seminal vesicle biopsy in patients with prostate cancer and influence of radical prostatectomy in patients with seminal vesicle invasion].

Objectives: To evaluate if radical prostatectomy may positively influence cancer-specific survival (CSS), hormone-resistance-free time, metastasis-free time, and quality of life(QoL) of patients with prostate adenocarcinoma and seminal vesicle invasion, and also to update our thoughts about seminal vesicle biopsy.

Methods: 114 patients were included. Forty-six cases were diagnosed of seminal vesicle invasion after radical prostatectomy; 68 cases were diagnosed of seminal vesicle invasion after biopsy, not undergoing then surgery.

[Differential diagnosis of renal masses: apropos of a case of tumor secondary to trauma].

Objectives: To report the case of a patient with the diagnosis of solid renal mass after ultrasound and confirmatory CT scan, whose final diagnosis was inflammatory pseudotumour, a rare benign tumour.

Methods: We describe the case, diagnostic difficulties and treatment because of the exceptional character of the case.

Results: A bibliographic review was necessary to achieve consensus acceptance of an etiologic relationship between tumour and previous renal trauma 15 years before.
