[Papillary renal cell carcinoma: clinic and pathological study about 27 cases].

Background: Papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC) represent 10 to 15% of renal tumours in adults. They contain more than 75% of tubule-papillary structure and are divided histologically into two subtypes. The distinction between these two sub-types is essential because of different prognosis.

The long-term results of laparoscopic retroperitoneal pyeloplasty in adults.

Objectives: To report the long-term outcome of laparoscopic retroperitoneal pyeloplasty (LRP) in adults.

Patients And Methods: Thirty patients underwent LRP for primary pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction (PUJO). Anderson-Hynes dismembered pyeloplasty was used in 28 patients and a Foley Y-V pyeloplasty in two.

Renal angiomyolipoma with Fatty thrombus extending to the right atrium: an exceptional presentation.

This paper reports the case of 34-year-old woman who presented with bilateral renal angiomyolipomas (AMLs). On the right side, there was a large AML with a fatty thrombus extending to the right atrium. The treatment consisted of right nephrectomy and complete thrombectomy with extracorporeal circulation and right atriotomy.

Intraprostatic hydatid cyst: an unusual presentation.

A case of intraprostatic cyst is reported. The patient presented with a completely evacuated hydatid cyst of the prostate. The intraprostatic cystic cavity that was communicating with the urethra developed urinary stones.

Colonic perforation complicating percutaneous nephrolithotomy.

A case of colonic perforation complicating percutaneous nephrolithotomy in a 64-year-old woman is reported. Nonoperative management was successful with the creation of a controlled colocutaneous fistula by pulling the nephrostomy tube back from the kidney to the colon and the use of an elemental diet and antibiotics. Internal urinary drainage was not necessary.

Intravesical hydatid cyst.

A case of intravesical hydatid cyst is reported. The cyst was completely evacuated cystoscopically with intravesical instillation of a scolicidal agent (hydrogen peroxide) to destroy scolices and daughter cysts. The postoperative course was uneventful, and follow-up did not show evidence of recurrence.

[Vesico-sigmoid fistula secondary to diverticulitis: a case report].

Vesico-sigmoid fistula is a rare complication of colic diverticular disease. It develops when the bladder sticks to an inflammatory colon making of a communication between the bladder and the digestive segment, usually the sigmoid. Liquid usually passes from the colon to the bladder because of the existing pressure gradient.
