Clear cell sarcoma of the kidney in an adult. A case report.

DEFINITION: Clear cell sarcoma of the kidney was initially thought to be a variant of Wilms tumour with an unfavourable prognosis. METHODS: A 23 years-old woman presented with a right abdominal mass. CT scan revealed a solid 23 cm tumour of the right kidney. A right radical nephrectomy with retroperitoneal lymph node dissection was accomplished. The histological diagnosis was clear cell sarcoma. A combination chemotherapy regimen (cisplatin and doxorubicin) was performed on six cycles. RESULTS: After two years, there was no evidence of tumour in the abdomen and thorax on CT Scan. The patient is being well. CONCLUSION: Optimal treatment is unknown, and surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are used alone but mostly in combination.

[Retroperitoneal fibrosis. Report of 6 cases].

The authors report six cases of retroperitoneal fibrosis. The mean age is 32 years. Two patients were treated by corticosteroid and ureteric stents with a good outcome; they have normal kidney function. Four patients underwent ureterolysis by wrapping the ureters in omentum. The mean follow-up is 60 months. In the light of theses six cases and review of the literature, the clinical, diagnosis and therapeutic aspects are discussed.

[Pathological pelvic kidney. Apropos of 11 cases].

The diseases ectopic kidney is a rare malformation. It can be associated with other urological or nonurological malformation. We report 11 cases observed between 1980 and 1998. They were five females and six males with a mean age of 28 years. The clinical symptomatology was dominated by pain and urinary symptoms. Diagnosis was based on the IVP data and ultrasonography. Renal stone and hynronephrosis were each associated in five cases and one patient had renal stone associated with hydronephrosis. The treatment consisted on a iliopelvic approach and extraction of the stone and or pyeloplasty. In three cases a nephrectomy was realised for muet kidney or pyonephrosis. The outcome was good in ten cases and one patient had a pyelo-ureteral secondary stenosis managed by endoscopy.

[Psoas abscess: 12 case reports].

Psoas abscess are rare. Primitives or secondary their clinical diagnosis is difficult. Imagery and especially computed tomography is fundamental. Treatment associates antibiotherapy and drainage. This drainage can be percutaneous or surgical (open surgery). The authors analyze in a retrospective way 12 cases of abscess of the psoas.

[Small cell carcinoma of the prostate: a case report].

Pure small cells carcinoma of the prostate is a rare tumour with a pejorative forecast. We report a case of neuroendocrine small cells carcinoma developed at a 68 years old patient. This tumour expressed a positive marking immunohistochimic with chromogranin A, the rate of PSA was on the other hand normal (2.9 ng/ml). The patient was treated by chemotherapy associating etoposide and cisplatinium and external radiotherapy. He is deceased 4 months afterwards.

["Cystic incidentaloma" of the adrenal gland: report of a case].

Cystic tumors of the adrenal gland are uncommon, but are being increasingly more frequently diagnosed during routine radiological evaluation. The management of these "incidentalomas" remains to be defined. Adrenal cysts have been traditionally managed by excision or aspiration to rule out malignancy. Actually, for some authors, in the cases of incidentally found cysts, if the suspicion of malignancy is low, and the lesion is non-functional, observation of the patients with regular follow-up may be an alternative. We report a case of a non-aspirated incidental adrenal cyst with a follow-up of four years.

[Primary adenocarcinoma of the male urethra. A case report].

Primary adenocarcinoma of the male urethra is very uncommon, accounts for 5% of primary urethral cancers. All types of urethral carcinomas account for less than 1% of urinary malignancies in man. The prognosis remains poor despite the wide surgical treatment. The place of chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy must be defined by other studies. We report a case of primary locally advanced adenocarcinoma arising in the bulbo-membranous urethra. The patient was 29 years old, without any previous history of venerian disease. He was treated by combined external beam radiotherapy (total dose 67Gy) and chemotherapy (Cisplatinum). A marked reduction of tumor volume has been noted but the patient died because of the appearance of bone metastasis which failed to the systemic therapy.

[Primary linitis plastica of the rectum].

One case of primary linitis plastica of the rectum is presented, it is a rare entity presentation in younger patients. The diagnosis was made by excluding the stomach as a primary source by peroperative palpation and fibroscopy examination. Because of potential for local invasion and infiltration, linitis is often detected only at the equivalent of stage C (Astler-Cller). The prognosis is poor, the mean survival time is about 9 months.

[Anterior urethral injury. Report of 23 cases].

UNLABELLED: We reviewed our experience in managing anterior urethral traumatic rupture. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between January 1986 and December 1998 a total of 23 consecutive male patients with anterior urethral trauma were studied prospectively, including a clinical and radiographic of the pelvis examination, excretory urography and retrograde urethrography. The average patient age was 29 years (range 19 and 65 years). The mechanism of injury was represented by the blunt perineal trauma in 17 cases and the cavernous body rupture in six cases. Clinical manifestations are dominated by the urethrorragia (19 cases), urinary retention (16 cases), perineal hematoma (14 cases). Radiological imaging have shown a pelvic fracture (six cases), urethral rupture (17 cases) and bladder rupture (three cases). Therapeutic procedure realized in emergency in six patients having a cavernous body lesion and delayed repair in 17 other patients. RESULT: The outcame was favorable in 12 patients and recurrence stenosis has occurred in 11 patients who are corrected by optical urethrotomy (four cases), end-to-end anastomosis (two cases), B. Johanson urethroplasty (three cases) urethroplasty by penile skin (one case), dilations (one case). CONCLUSION: Suprapubic cystostomy with healing control of the partial ruptures, delayed end-to-end anastomosis for total ruptures and immediate reparation of the urethral rupture when associated with a penile fracture are even the best warrant of a correct functional recovery.

Adrenal myelolipoma. A case report.

We report a new case in a 56 years old patient who manifested right side's pains. The abdominal CT scan showed a tumor of the right adrenal gland with fat density (size: 8 x 6 x 6 cm). This tumor was removed surgically (weight: 300 g). The histological finding revealed a proliferation of adipocyts and myeloid tissue which contains megakaryocytes, erythroid cells and lymphocyts. The outcome is good after three years of surgery. The surgical treatment becomes necessary when the tumor's size increases or it becomes symptomatic.

[Verrucous carcinoma and Buschke-Lowenstein tumors: apropos of 2 cases].

The authors present two cases of verrucous carcinomas on Buschke-Lowenstein tumor. The Buschke-Lowenstein tumor is an epithelial sexually transmissible benign tumor of viral origin. Under the influence of oncogenic papillomavirus types 16 and 18 it can become malignant tumor which relations with the verrucous carcinoma, tumor with low grade and essentially local malignancy are still discussed. This evolution follows the alteration by a viral protein of the functions of the tumor suppressor protein P 53. The surgery remains the reference treatment although there is a possibility of frequent recurrences. Radiation therapy and chemotherapy were suggested as adjuvant treatments for the complicated sorts.

[Giant retroperitoneal hemangiopericytoma: a new case].

Hemangiopericytomas are a rare vascular tumours that are derived from Zimmermann pericytes. Retroperitoneal hemangiopericytoma is usually bulky, clinical silent, and malignant. We present a 48 years old man, with compressive symptoms and a painless mass due to a giant retroperitoneal hemangiopericytoma weighing 3 kg. We are prompted to present this case as it is believed to be the largest hemangiopericytoma reported to date.

[Renal transplantation and pregnancy. Report of a case].

The authors report a case, the first in Morocco, of a kidney transplanted woman pregnancy. The pregnancy occurred eleven months after the kidney transplantation. The renal function has not been modified. Treatment immunosuppressor has been maintained. The pregnancy evolution has been marked by a moderate hypertension arterial without child reverberation. To shortcoming this observation and to the lights of data of the literature, authors recalls factors that condition the stability of the renal function and the good progress of pregnancy and insist on the necessity of the scheduling of pregnancy and a multidisciplinary surveillance.
