RESUMO
Intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) has been associated with numerous complications such as pelvic discomfort, spontaneous expulsion, and infections. In rare instances, perforation and migration can occur if neglected. We present a rare of 25-year-old female in whom a neglected perforated IUD (Cu-T) after two years completely migrated into the urinary bladder leading to large stone formation. The migrated IUD with stone was successfully managed via minimally invasive endourological management.
RESUMO
Amyloidosis is defined as extracelluar deposition of amyloid, a fibrillary protein in one or more body sites. It can involve genito-urinary tract, primarily or secondarily, but isolated primary bladder amyloidosis is an extremely rare presentation. We herein report a rare case of 48-year-male patient presented with symptoms mimicking carcinoma urinary bladder especially painless haematuria. Transurethral resection of the mass was done in one sitting. The histopathological examination revealed to be a primary bladder amyloidosis. In the follow-up, patient had improvement in symptoms and no recurrence. We also briefly review the literature on primary bladder amyloidosis.
RESUMO
Penile incarceration from constricting metallic or non-metallic objects is a urological emergency which warrants immediate interventions to prevent undesirable sequalae. Various methods such as aspiration technique, string methods, cutting devices and surgery has been described in the literature but each case needs individualized approach due to lack of consensus in the management. We report a case in a 24-year male who incarcerated his penis with a metallic weight plate weighing around 3 kg. To our knowledge this is the first case reported in the literature where a heaviest constricting object was successfully removed via circumcoronal incision.
RESUMO
Renal ectopia is a developmental anomaly with pelvic kidney being the commonest location (55%). The incidence of uretero-pelvis junction (UPJ) obstruction, nephrolithiasis, and reflux are higher in ectopic kidneys than their counterparts. We herein report a case of left ectopic pelvic kidney with large stone associated with UPJ narrowing managed successfully simultaneously with laparoscopic transmesocolic pyelolithotomy and pyeloplasty in a 45-year female. This is the largest stone reported in the literature in an ectopic pelvic kidney managed successfully with favorable outcome.
