A 65-year-old man was found to have a 1.7 cm right renal mass by follow-up abdominal computed tomography for left total nephrectomy after a traffic accident. The renal mass progressed slowly to 2.2 cm in three years and enhanced magnetic resonance imaging revealed marked T2 weighting hyperintensity of the lesion. Although a radiologist (TK) suggested the diagnosis renal anastomosing hemangioma preoperatively, we could not deny the possibility of renal cell carcinoma completely. Therefore, the patient underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. The tumor was successfully removed without any renal arterial clamping or parenchymal excision. Histopathologically, the lesion was composed of capillary-size blood vessels lined by a single layer of endothelial cells, and was diagnosed as a renal anastomosing hemangioma. There were no signs of postoperative recurrence during the 3 month follow-up.

Primary intrarenal hemangioma - A series of 39 cases.
Ann Diagn Pathol

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, USA. Electronic address:
Intrarenal hemangiomas lack concise clinicopathologic information, due to the predominance of single case reports and inclusion of other vascular neoplasms and hemangiomas of perirenal, hilar, and renal vein origin. Herein, in this multi-institutional study we evaluate clinicopathologic features of 39 intrarenal hemangiomas. The median age was 62 years (range = 27-94 years; 2:1 male to female ratio), with left-sided predominance (left = 21, right = 13; one case was bilateral).

Objectives: Basilic vein transposition (BVT) surgery is a crucial option for vascular access in hemodialysis patients when other alternatives are unavailable. One of the primary complications affecting the long-term function of arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) is the development of pseudoaneurysms, often caused by repeated punctures at the same site. This study aims to evaluate whether increasing the length of the basilic vein available for cannulation during the second stage of BVT surgery reduces the risk of puncture-related pseudoaneurysms, thereby improving fistula longevity and functionality.

Article Synopsis
- Hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors that primarily affect the skin and soft tissues, with anastomosing hemangioma (AH) being a specific subtype that mimics more serious conditions like angiosarcoma; there are fewer than 300 reported cases of renal hemangiomas.
- A case study of a 28-year-old male revealed a left renal mass identified during tests for abdominal pain, with subsequent imaging and surgery confirming the diagnosis of AH through histopathological analysis and specific immunohistochemical markers.
- Accurate diagnosis of AH is crucial to avoid unnecessary treatment and complications, highlighting the need for greater awareness and reporting in the medical community to enhance diagnostic accuracy and patient management.
Urethral strictures - General aspects: Definition, anatomy of the urethra and its clinical application in stenosis, epidemiology, etiology, and principles of urethral reconstruction.
Fr J Urol
November 2024
Department of Urology, La Conception Academic Hospital, Assistance publique-Hôpitaux de Marseille (AP-HM), Marseille, France.
Background: Urethral strictures are a common and persistent pathology in urology with significant clinical repercussions. Our aim is to provide an overview of the general aspects of this condition.
Methods: A comprehensive review of the literature from PubMed was conducted covering the period from 2020 to 2023.
Introduction: The standard approach to the treatment of short ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction is the Anderson-Hynes procedure. Despite its high efficiency and low complication rate, there are ongoing studies which study the modification of the procedure using open, laparoscopic, and robotic approaches.
Aim: To describe a modified pyeloplasty technique with an assessment of the anatomical and functional results in comparison with the Anderson-Hynes procedure.
