Transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) was performed on the bladder tumor of a 68-yearold male patient. Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) intravesical therapy was performed to prevent recurrence (Immunobladder : ○R 80 mg once/week×6 times). A 40 mm tumor was noted in the left kidney by renal ultrasound performed two months after the completion of BCGintravesical therapy.

A 22-year old female had an episode of acute heart and respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation ducing a trip overseas. Echocardiography demonstrated akinesis of the apical area (left ventricle ejectionfraction(LVEF) =15%). Since computed tomography (CT) with coronary angiography to rule out acute coronary syndrome showed no abnormalities, she was diagnosed with morphological stress cardiomyopathy due to akinesis of the apical area.

We report a case of giant paraurethral leiomyoma weighing more than 100 g in a 19-year-old woman. She had been complaining of micturition pain and a mass at the external genitals. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a 5 cm mass surrounding the urethra, which appeared low intensity on T1-weighted images and higher intensity than that of the surrounding muscles in the pelvis on T2-weighted images.

Article Synopsis
  • A case study details an 8-year-old boy who suffered from bilateral ureteral polyps leading to intermittent hydronephrosis, with symptoms including hematuria and flank pain.
  • Initial imaging confirmed mild hydronephrosis and identified multiple filling defects in both ureters, prompting a segmental resection of the right ureter, which was later diagnosed as fibroepithelial polyps.
  • Six years post-surgery, the patient experienced similar symptoms on the left side, resulting in a partial ureterectomy, after which no further recurrence of polyps was noted.
