[Complex renal cyst. A new case].

Approximately 15% of cases of renal cell carcinoma present cystic configuration on radiologic and pathologic examination. These lesions are often difficult to differentiate from the multiloculated renal cyst or other benign cystic lesions such as hemorrhagic cyst and so on. We report a case of multilocular cyst of the right kidney complicated with clear cell type renal cell carcinoma in which MRI suggested benign cyst. The diagnosis of complicated benign cyst must be proposed very cautiously and the persistence of doubtful images justifies surgical exploration.

[Penile hematoma caused by deep dorsal vein rupture during intercourse].

OBJECTIVE: To describe a case of rupture of the deep dorsal vein of the penis during sexual intercourse. METHODS: A 21-year-old patient consulted at the emergency services for acute penis after vigorous sexual intercourse, with clinical features suggestive of rupture of the corpora cavernosa. RESULTS: Surgery demonstrated complete rupture of the deep dorsal vein of the penis, which was repaired. Examination showed no injury to the corpora cavernosa. CONCLUSIONS: Early surgical management is advocated in acute penis, since it will permit us to make the correct diagnosis and treat the underlying cause to avoid future sequelae. Rupture of the deep dorsal vein of the penis is another condition that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute penis. Its clinical features are similar to those of cavernosal rupture. Ultrasound and cavernosography are not diagnostic.

[Giant calcifications of a double-J ureteral catheter].

We present a case of recurring gigantic calcifications of both extreme of a double-J ureteral catheter, with long permanency of the same. We expose the technical maneuvers that were specified for the managing of so important complication. We emphasize the renal functional conservation found in spite of the magnitude of the calcifications. We check the national literature in this regard of this complication and we expose the etiological mechanisms, prophylactic recommendations and therapeutic managing of this complication to the extended use of ureteral catheters.

[Vesical endometriosis: report of two cases].

Endometriosis affecting the urinary tract is very rare and the most common site of involvement is urinary bladder. The clinical features are urgency and frequency, hipogastric pain and hematuria. Cistoscopic examination is the most valuable diagnostic test but definitive diagnosis requires histologic confirmation. We report 2 cases of endometriosis in 2 young women, one with previously cesarean section, in which surgical treatment was effective. After 1 and 3 years of follow-up respectively the patients remain assymptomatic.

[Inguinal bladder hernias. A report of 2 cases].

Bladder hernia is a very uncommon but not exceptional condition. It tends to occur in adult patients over 50, and is favoured by a cervical-urethral obstruction. It is often diagnosed during inguinal hernia surgery, although in other cases pre-operative diagnosis can be achieved through radiological studies (filling cystography), in patients with urinary signs and symptoms associated to inguinal hernia. Treatment involves the association of herniography and deobstructive surgery at the cervical-urethroprostatic level. The use of a polypropylene mesh [correction of stent] to reinforce a damaged abdominal wall is evaluated and it presents an improved result over the traditional techniques. The excellence acceptance by the body should also be taken into account, as no rejection or infection problems were reported the present cases.
