The non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) comprise a large part of human genome that mainly do not code for proteins. Although ncRNAs were first believed to be non-functional, the more investigations highlighted tthe possibility of ncRNAs in controlling vital biological processes. The length of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) exceeds 200 nucleotidesand can be present in nucleus and cytoplasm.

Article Synopsis
  • Extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma, specifically paraganglioma of the urinary bladder, is a rare and aggressive tumor, making up only 0.05% of bladder tumors; complete surgical resection is crucial for localized cases.
  • This case discusses a 46-year-old male with a non-functional paraganglioma located at the bladder neck, highlighting the importance of using specific tools (like a 70-degree cystoscopic lens) for visualization during surgery.
  • Surgical teams should conduct hemodynamic monitoring during procedures when encountering a golden-yellow mass, as it indicates potential paraganglioma, and conduct biochemical tests to determine if the tumor is producing catecholamines.

Introduction And Importance: Ureteric stump syndrome [USS] is a series of febrile recurrent lower abdominal pain, urinary tract infections, and hematuria that sometimes present with empyema as a rare complication. The ureteric stump is left after ureteric re-implantation due to an impacted stone at the Vesical-ureteric junction [VUJ], or after nephrectomy of a non-functional kidney due to a distal stone; the ureteral stump forms a source of infection to the urinary bladder, in addition to long-term obstructive stones left at the ureteric stamp. This usually cause chronic irritation of the mucosa and potentially change to metaplasia, dysplasia and malignancy.

An ectopic ureter is a condition characterized by a ureter, whether single or duplex, that fails to open in the trigone area of the urinary bladder but instead drains outside of it. This anomaly arises congenitally due to abnormal migration of the ureteric bud during its insertion into the urinary bladder. Here, we present a case involving an ectopic ureter draining into the vagina, with continuous urinary incontinence.
