Smooth muscle tumours located in the female urethra represent a pathology that is not observed very often. We offer two new cases and analyse the clinical aspects, differential diagnosis and treatment of this entity.
We present two cases of pelvic masses with retrovesical localization: one consisting of a mature cystic teratoma and the other in a ganglionic metastasis of a subclinical prostate adenocarcinoma. We carry out an analysis of the clinical aspects as well as a review of the diagnostic guidelines to be followed in the light of the existence of a neoformation in this location. We analyse the possible differential diagnoses to be established with these tumours, which we should take into consideration despite their rare incidence and form of presentation.
We present a case of giant urethral lithiasis, housed in the penile urethra. Owing to the scant incidence of this pathology and its rarity, as well as the small number of bibliographic references found, we believe it of interest to offer this fresh case.
Emphysematous cystitis constitutes an uncommon clinical radiological entity. (Approximately 160 cases in the literature). We offer five cases of emphysematous cystitis, all of which occurred in women aged 60-80 (X = 74.2). All of them except one proved to be known diabetics and the glycemia figures at the time of being attended were above the limits of normality. In no case was pneumaturia observed, and the main symptoms displayed were those of the cystitis type together with pain in the hypogastrium and macroscopic hematuria. Simple abdomen radiology was the diagnosis procedure in all cases. The treatment applied permitted the favourable evolution and resolution of the process.
The dilatation of the duct of Cowper's gland is known as Cowper's Syringocele, a rarely occurring pathology, usually of a congenital origin. We offer two new cases corresponding to a perforated Syringocele and a non-perforated Syringocele. We analyse the clinical, radiological and therapeutic aspects of this entity.
