Even though more than 50 cases of seminal vesicle cysts combined with ipsilateral renal agenesis or dysplasia have been described during the 20th century, such associated malformations of the upper urinary and genital tracts still deserve our attention on the one hand, as illustrations of embryological deviation and, on the other hand, because of the very difficult diagnosis. The typical symptoms and differential diagnosis of these conditions are described and illustrated by two of our own cases. The various therapeutic possibilities are presented.
Immunocytochemical studies using a new antibody against endothelial cells and commercially available antibodies against glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and S-100 protein were performed on 10 cerebellar hemangioblastomas in order to clarify the controversy over the origin of stromal cells. Neither cytoplasmic immunoreactivity for endothelial cell markers nor for anti-GFAP and anti-S-100 protein was found in these cells. Endothelial cell markers reacted positively only with neoplastic capillaries of the tumors and anti-GFAP and anti-S-100 protein were only found in glial remainders in the centers and margins of the tumors.
