The authors describe a case of sarcomatoid carcinoma of the bladder, in which the stroma presented marked calcified bone metaplasia. Mechanical lithotripsy of the tumor was necessary to allow transurethral resection.
We report two cases of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis observed in elderly women. Diagnosis before surgery is difficult. CT is the best single examination.

The authors report a case of pelvic actinomycosis causing ureteral obstruction in a 30-year-old woman. An intra-uterine device being in place for 6 years is considered as the main cause. The treatment, which included a laparotomy for abscess drainage, an indwelling double pigtail ureteral stent and a 9 month antibiotherapy led to recovery after an initial relapse.
The authors describe a case of colonic adenocarcinoma in an 41-year-old woman who had undergone at age 3 an uretero-colic anastomosis because of bladder exstrophy. The tumor looked like an ovarian tumor and histology confirmed it was a Krûckenberg tumor of colonic origin. The authors review literature and insist on the necessity of a life long endoscopic follow-up of uretero-colic anastomosis.
The persistence of recurrent abdominal pains in a 6 year-old girl without medical history lead to an ultrasonography being performed that showed a liquid formation, assigned to a dilated biliary duct. An oral cholecystography showed that this formation corresponded to a voluminous choledochal cyst. Surgical treatment consisted of a cyst excision with an hepatico-jejunostomy as biliary drainage.
For a young boy, without antecedent, the discovery of a calcification from the upper side of the hip is reported to an injury with extension of the thigh, six months before. The radiologic characteristics of the picture bring to the diagnostic of myositis circumscripta of the anterior muscle, which is confirmed by biopsy.
