[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.

["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.

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.

[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.

[Hydatid cyst of the psoas. Report of a case].

The authors report a case of hydatid cyst of the psoas muscle in 23 years old woman who presented a left lumboiliac mass. Ultrasonography and computed tomography contributed to the preoperative diagnosis. The cyst was removed by retroperitoneal approach by left lumbotomy. In the light of this case and the literature data, the authors discuss the diagnosis and therapeutic problems raised by hydatid cyst of the psoas muscle.

[Testicular metastasis of prostatic adenocarcinoma. Report of a case].

Metastasis involvement of the testis form prostatic carcinoma is rare. Seventy cases have been reported between 1938 and 1990. We report another case treated by transurethral resection of the prostate, bilateral orchiectomy and nonsteroid androgens and a review of the literature is presented.

[Treatment of ureteral calculi with rigid ureteroscopy. Report of 67 cases].

PURPOSE: To evaluate the results obtained by rigid ureteroscopy to treat ureteral calculi. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between May 1998 and September 2000, 63 patients underwent 67 rigid ureteroscopies (URS) with three endoscopic retreatments and one bilateral URS, for 48 distal, ten mid and nine proximal ureteral calculi. RESULTS: After URS 77.6% of the patients were free of the stones. Success rate was respectively 85.4%, 60% and 55.5% in distal, mid and proximal uretero. Morbidity was 10.4% and there have been one stricture treated by endoscopy. CONCLUSION: Our series demonstrates that rigid URS is safe and effective procedure to treat distal, ureteral calculi. Thus, it should be considered a treatment of choice for distal ureteral calculi.

[Paratesticular malignant mesothelioma. Report of a new case].

Malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis is a rare and aggressive tumor. It appears that surgery have a high value in the treatment. We report a case of malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis in 65 years old patient and a review of the literature is presented.

[Percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Report of 211 cases].

The case files of 198 patients with a stone, treated by percutaneous nephrolithotomy between 1985 and 1999, were studied. This series consisted of 113 men and 85 women with a mean age of 41 years (17-71 years). The stone was in the pelvis (167 cases) of the kidney, multiple in 40 cases and staghorn in four cases. The complications were septic in six cases and hemorrhagic in five cases. The overall stone-free rate at three months was 92%.

[Scrotal injuries. Report of 40 cases].

Between 1986 to 1998, 40 patients, 16 to 52 years old, consulted for trauma of the scrotum. The trauma was closed in 36 cases. The trauma occurred by accident of traffic in 19 cases, an accident of work in seven cases, an accident during sport in seven cases, aggression in six cases and brawl in one case. The clinical symptomatology was dominated by inflammatory big scrotum or haematoma in the tunic. Ultrasound imaging was performed in 20 patients, showed a contusion of the testicle in five cases, haematoma of the scrotum in ten cases and albuginal rupture in two cases. Thirty patients underwent surgical repair. Five patients underwent orchidectomy. Atrophy of the testis occurred in two patients who underwent resection of the pulp and two others who had haematoma of the haematocele.

[Testicular metastasis of prostatic adenocarcinoma: report of 2 cases].

Prostatic carcinoma metastasizing to the testis is an extremely rare occurrence. In this study, two new cases have been reported of unilateral testicular metastases from an adenocarcinoma of the prostate. Unlike primary tumors of the testis, this type of tumor develops later in life (between 50 and 60 years of age), and is in most instances unilateral. It is generally discovered accidentally during orchiectomy or autopsy. It is not always easy to establish a morphological diagnosis, as the macroscopic appearance of the tumor may be normal. However, microscopic investigation reveals the presence of neoplasms of the testis.
