Chronically infected and postdiversionary bladders: cytologic and histopathologic study.

Cytologic and histopathologic study of 36 patients demonstrated an 86 to 92 per cent incidence of squamous metaplasia of the bladder among patients with chronically infected bladders and a 64 per cent incidence in patients with postdiversionary bladders left behind. The relationships of infection, inflammation, squamous meetaplasia, and squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder are reviewed. It is postulated that the same carcinogenic factors which induce transitional cell carcinoma might cause squamous cell carcinoma if the epithelium had previously undergone squamous metaplasia.

Chronic seminal vesiculosis. Distressing syndrome with surgical cure.

Six cases in which a symptom complex suggestive of chronic seminal vesicular dysfunction are described. Transvesical seminal vesiculectomy was performed with good results and no disturbance of sexual potency. Seminal vesiculectomy appears to provide a reasonable means for cure of those patients who meet the specific criteria outlined.

Benign fibrous paratesticular tumors.

Utilizing the criteria of Goodwin, a case each of chronic proliferative periorchitis and multiple fibromas of the tunica vaginalis testis causing paratesticular tumors is presented and discussed. Both of these rate processes appear to be distinct and separate clinical entities, although they appear to be similar histologically. With increased awareness by those treating intrascrotal masses, these processes may be correctly recognized and more testes may be salvaged.

Retroperitoneal teratoma.

Retroperitoneal teratoma is the third most common primary retroperitoneal neoplasm of childhood ranking behind neuroblastoma and nephroblastoma. Ten per cent of these tumors are malignant. Two cases of benign retroperitoneal teratoma are reported, and the first description of the angiographic appearance of such a tumor is presented.

Transcatheter coil embolization of an aneurysm of the pancreatico-duodenal artery with occluded celiac trunk.

We report on a case of a wide-necked aneurysm of the pancreatico-duodenal artery with occlusion of the celiac trunk in an asymptomatic patient. The aneurysm was considered to be at high risk of rupture. Successful embolization after interdisciplinary consultation was followed with color-coded duplex ultrasound (CCDS) demonstrating significant flow reduction. Three weeks later CCDS and angiography demonstrated exclusion of the aneurysm and a patent arterial supply of the liver and spleen fed by superior mesenteric artery (SMA) collaterals. The patient has done well so far, without major adverse clinical events or evidence for tissue necrosis of the liver, pancreas or spleen. Discussion of the case and review of the literature indicate that transcatheter embolization is the therapy of choice even in complicated cases.
