Intraurethral thrombosed varix: unusual cause for hematuria.

A case of an intraurethral thrombosed vein as a cause for painless hematuria is presented. In contrast to previous reports, the thrombosed varix was located in the midurethra rather than at the urethral meatus. The necessity for biopsy to differentiate from tumor is emphasized.

Urachal remnants: benign or malignant?

Two cases are presented with cystoscopically visible cystic urachal remnants. The initial clinical findings, including bladder biopsies, were remarkably similar. Partial cystectomy with removal of the urachal cord alone clarified the actual disease. The inability to separate the malignant and the benign urachal lesion by other means suggests the necessity of total surgical extirpation. Perhaps this approach may result in an improvement in the generally poor prognosis for urachal carcinoma.
