Symptomatology in thirty patients with hydatid cyst of kidney treated in the Urologic Clinic, UHC, Avicenne, Rabat, was florid (83% with pain and 43% with a mass in the flank) and sometimes specific (27% of cases). Associated hypertension was an exceptional finding. Preoperative diagnostic investigations included ultrasound and CT scan imaging, replacing arteriography to a great extent. Approach to surgical treatment was usually by a lombotomy (64%) or even a Baraya incision (23%), followed by treatment of the renal cyst itself (a case of silent kidney on IVU treated by resection of a protruding dome). Nephrectomy was frequently necessary (47%) for renal lesions. When conservative therapy appeared sufficient the only procedure adopted, apart from specific cases, was resection of a protruding dome even when the hydatid cyst was discharging into excretory pathways. Splenectomy was sometimes necessary (2 of 22 cases) for hydatid cyst of left kidney. This series emphasizes the safety of surgery for hydatid cyst of kidney since the only death reported occurred 2 months after operation in a patient with an associated renal sarcoma.

Based on a series of 18 cases of elephantiasis of male genital organs and a literature review, the principal features of this lymphatic system disease are described.
Kidney lymphomas are mainly secondary and represent the most frequent localization in the urinary tract. Concerning a cas of kidney lymphoma, the authors propose to study the most suggestive paraclinical data in order to find preoperating diagnosis. The therapeutic principles are discussed.
The authors report a case of bicervical bicornuate uterus with a blind hemivagina associated with Ipsilateral renal agenesis and an ureteral diverticulum with ectopic opening to the vulva and female epispadiat. The embryology and the various aetiopathogenic theories for this rare anomaly are presented and the therapeutic principles are discussed.
