[A case of urachal remnant and review of the literature].
Urachal remnants are not exceptional and are symptomatics if complicated. Ultrasound and CT scan identify most diseases entities originating from urachal remnant. Treatment consists on total exeresis because there is a risk of malignant degeneration. The authors report a case of urachal remnant and analysis the anatomopathologic, diagnosis and therapeutic features of urachal remnants in a review of the literature.

[Segmental renal hypoplasia or Ask-Upmark kidney -- anatomopathologic approach: report of 2 cases].
Segmental renal hypoplasia or Ask-Upmark kidney is an extremely rare anomaly that induces severe arterial hypertension in young patients. Two new cases of this entity are presented respectively in a 39 and 31 years old women who are admitted for hematuria, elevated blood pressure level and flank pain. Surgical treatment of the hypoplasia kidney permitted successful treatment of the high blood pressure with preservation of renal function and flank pain. In view of the literature, the authors discuss the pathogenic, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of this condition.

[Modified Denis's technique for hemostasis in transvesical prostatectomy for prostatic adenocarcinoma. 20 case reports].
The authors present modified Denis's technique for hemostasis in 20 suprapubic prostatectomy. The technique is based on the separation between the bladder and the prostatic fossa with a temporary purse-string suture around the bladder neck. The vacuum of the prostatic fossa leads to the retraction and hemostatis. This technique is very effective on intra and post operative hemorrhage, so economy of irrigating fluid; then easier post operative care.

[Urinary and nephrologic aspects of Von Recklinghausen disease. Two case reports and review of the literature].
Urinary tract involvement in neurofibromatosis type 1 is rare and uncommon entity. The syndrome is transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait and is characterized by cutaneous pigmentation and tumors as neural crest origin. Two cases of kidney involvement by Von rechlinghausen's disease with in one case a consequent hydronephrosis with arterial hypertension and in the second a nephrocalcinos without hyperparathyroidism are present. The literature of urogenital and nephrologic neurofibromatosis is reviewed. The authors suggest that the patient with neurofibromatosis be screened annually with medical history, physical examination, urinalysis and serum chemistry for tumors that affect the urinary particularly in children.

[Retroperitoneal sarcoma: therapeutic and prognostic characteristics, report of 6 cases].
Retroperitoneal sarcoma is a rare solid tumor that accounts for less than 15% of soft tissue sarcoma. The authors conducted a retrospective study about 6 cases to evaluate the natural history of the tumors and the causes of treatment failure in an attempt to develop a rational approach to the management of the neoplasm. The histological grade and complete resection are the most important prognosis factors.

[Pathologic horseshoe kidney. Report of 13 cases].
The authors report a series of 13 horseshoe kidneys observed over a 22-year period. All patients are men with a mean age of 39 years (20-65 years). The clinical features were dominated by abdomino-lumbar pain (nine cases). The horseshoe kidney was associated with renal stones in nine cases, uretero-pelvic junction syndrome in five cases and pyonephrosis in one case. The specific anatomic and surgical features of this rare malformation are emphasized and the therapeutic features of each uropathy associated with horseshoe kidney are discussed.

[Hemospermia: diagnosis and therapeutic aspects. Seven case reports].
Hemospermia or hematospermia is a common benign condition, but its prevalence remains unknown and can result from several causes. The aetiology is idiopathic in about 30-70% of the cases. The hemospermia is first of inflammatory origin, in the young patients, where it is due to uretroprostatitis or orchi-epididymitis, but in the older, it is due to a benign of malignant prostatic tumors. Transrectal ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging can afforded the opportunity to best investigate the patients with hemospermia. Hemospermia is not an uncommon problem and in most instances has little clinical significance other than evoking much anxiety for the patient. In view of the literature, the authors discus the diagnostic and therapeutic approach of hemospermia through a series of seven cases.

[Multiple leiomyoma of the scrotum. A case report].
A variety of neoplasms derived from mesechymal elements may arise on the tunica dartos, the tunica albuginea or, more rarely, within the testis or the epididymis. The authors report a case of leiomyoma of the scrotum in a 33-year-old man. This rare and benign tumour is localized in the tunica dartos in 8% of cases. The positive diagnosis is based on histological examination after conservative treatment by local excision which gives excellent results.

[A supernumerary kidney. Apropos of a case].
Supernumerary kidney is a rare poorly documented anomaly. It's generally discovered in stage of complications. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult. The authors report a case of hydronephrotic supernumerary kidney, diagnosed preoperatively, in a 45 years old patient with a review of the literature.
Cystoscopy↗
[Nephroblastoma in adults: apropos of 2 cases].
Adult nephroblastoma is a rare tumor. The authors report two new cases observed in a 30 and 34 years old men in whom the diagnosis was made by histo-pathology. They were admitted for enormous kidney mass. We performed nephrectomy in one case, and surgical biopsy in the other. No adjuvant treatment was given. The prognosis was fatal. They study the particular features of this tumour. Its prognosis appeared to be poorer than that of renal adenocarcinoma.

[Right ovarian vein syndrome: report of a case and review of the literature].
Ovarian vein syndrome corresponds to ureteral compression by a dilated ovarian vein. The pathogeny of this syndrome is discussed. It seems to be multifactorial, comprising an anatomical and hormonal factors. Ovarian vein syndrome is classically described on the right side. Patients present with lumbar pain or renal colic. Diagnosis is mainly urographic. The surgery constitutes radical treatment of the entity. However, this disorder can be successfully treated laparoscopically. Transcatheter embolisation provides excellent result which may replace or complement the traditional surgical approaches of this disease. On the basis of one case and other recent series, the authors review its different aspects, including some considerations on this rarely reorganized and poorly understood disease.

[Spontaneous subcapsular hematoma of the kidney. Report of 6 cases].
Spontaneous subcapsular haematoma (SCH) of the kidney is a rare condition, secondary to kidney tumors in more than 50% of cases. Diagnosis is suggested by sonography and confirmed by CT-scan. Renal angiography, performed in haemodynamically stable patients, shows the origin of bleeding and allows embolization. The authors report 6 cases of SCH of the kidney, one of which occurred after extra-corporeal shock-wave lithotripsy.

[Hydatid cyst of the Douglas' cul-de-sac with fistula to the bladder. Report of 2 cases].
The present study reported two cases of hydatid cysts localized in Douglas space and that broke in the bladder. The clinical course was characterized by urinary symptoms and by presence the cysts in urine. Abdominopelvic ultrasonography is essential for diagnosis and identification of other sites. When diagnosis is unclear, then CT scan plays a role. Therapy included cystectomy and pericystic resection in one case and intravescical injection of H2O2 in the second case. The course was favorable in both cases.

[Multiocular renal cysts in adults. Two case reports].
The authors report two cases of renal multilocular cyst and review the cases reported in the literature, revealing the original features of this benign tumour which has an equal incidence in children and adults with a controversial acquired or malformative aetiopathogenesis, precise histological features, but a difficult preoperative and intraoperative diagnosis despite modern imaging techniques. In the great majority of cases, treatment consists in nephrectomy.

[Rare cause of iatrogenic stenosis of the penile urethra. Case report].
