Introduction: Needle-track seeding of prostate cancer into the rectal wall following transrectal prostate biopsy is exceedingly rare. We report a case of mucinous prostate cancer recurrence in the rectal wall due to biopsy needle seeding, discovered after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.
Case Presentation: A 67-year-old man underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy for mucinous prostate cancer (clinical stage T2cN0M0, Gleason score of 4 + 4, and initial prostate-specific antigen level of 8.
Article Synopsis
- The text discusses a study on the use of enfortumab vedotin in patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma who are also on hemodialysis due to end-stage renal disease.
- Two case studies are presented: one involving an 85-year-old man and another a 73-year-old man, both of whom had undergone previous surgeries and treatments without success.
- The results showed varying responses to the treatment, with one patient achieving partial response and the other experiencing disease progression, while both encountered manageable side effects.
Article Synopsis
- Cholesterol crystal embolism is a rare condition that can occur after medical procedures, leading to symptoms such as painful ulcers, as seen in a 72-year-old man with a penile ulcer following vascular surgery.
- Despite treatment efforts, the patient underwent a partial penectomy to address the issue, which confirmed the diagnosis and resolved his pain, allowing for his discharge.
- The case highlights the severity of cholesterol crystal embolism and the potential need for surgical intervention, although the patient later suffered from complications unrelated to the initial condition.
Article Synopsis
- Immune checkpoint inhibitors are used to treat advanced urothelial carcinoma, but they can lead to serious side effects, including a rare condition known as Evans syndrome.
- A 56-year-old man with renal pelvic cancer developed Evans syndrome after 26 months of treatment with the immune checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab, following progression of his cancer despite chemotherapy.
- The case emphasizes the need for clinicians to recognize the risk of Evans syndrome from immune checkpoint inhibitors and to act quickly with corticosteroid treatment when symptoms arise.

Introduction: Neurogenic overactive bladder is a main feature of human T-cell leukemia virus type 1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis. We successfully performed intravesical onabotulinumtoxinA therapy for refractory neurogenic overactive bladder due to human T-cell leukemia virus type 1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis.
Case Presentation: We retrospectively reviewed four neurogenic overactive bladder patients with human T-cell leukemia virus type 1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis who underwent bladder wall injections of onabotulinumtoxinA from April to October 2020.
Introduction: Penile fracture is a rare urologic emergency, and its surgical treatment is selected based on the damaged site of the penile corpus cavernosum. Penile fractures at the site of the crus penis are quite rare, and there is controversy regarding the preferred method of surgical repair.
Case Presentation: A 25-year-old Asian man was injured when rolling over in bed.
Brain metastasis from prostate cancer may be becoming more common and may be associated with occurrence of diffuse systemic metastases.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFIntroduction: Paragangliomas have a rich blood flow and are located around large vessels; thus, resection is often difficult. We herein report a case of a paraganglioma that was located immediately behind the inferior vena cava and bilateral renal veins and successfully resected by laparoscopic surgery.
Case Presentation: A 72-year-old man was incidentally diagnosed with a 7-cm retroperitoneal mass immediately behind the inferior vena cava and bilateral renal veins by computed tomography.
