[Adenocarcinoma of the kidney associated with polycystic kidney treated by conservative surgery (apropos of a case)]. / Adénocarcinome du rein associé à une polykystose rénale traité par chirurgie conservatrice (a propos d'une observation).

The authors report a case of renal cell carcinoma discovered incidentally in a 52-year-old woman with hepatorenal and pancreatic polycystic disease. Treatment consisted of partial nephrectomy with no adjuvant therapy. After a 3-year follow-up, the patient is still alive with normal renal function and no signs of recurrence. The pathogenesis and therapeutic modalities are discussed in the light of a review of the literature.

[Syndrome of the ovarian vein. Apropos of 3 cases]. / Le syndrome de la veine ovarienne. A propos de 3 cas.

About three cases of ovarian vein syndrome and a review of the literature, on overall study of this rare entity is done addressing its different pathogenie, clinical, radiological and therapeutic aspects.

[Ureterovaginal fistulas: treatment with preservation of the distal ureteral segment. Apropos of 3 cases]. / Fistules urétéro-vaginales: traitement avec conservation du moignon urétéral distal. A propos de 3 cas.

The authors report on the treatment of 3 ureterovaginal fistulas using a method preserving the segment of ureter below the fistula. In one case, the fistula was successfully managed by ureteroscopic placement of ureteral stent. Two other cases were managed with ipsilateral ureteroureterostomy, where the segment of ureter below the fistula was identified using ureteroscopic perforation of this segment.

[Sclerotherapy with Betadine for simple cysts of the kidney. Apropos of 7 cases]. / Sclérothérapie à la Bétadine des kystes simples du rein. A propos de 7 cas.

The authors report on 7 cases of benign, symptomatic renal cysts treated by percutaneous sclerosis using Betadine solution. The mean size of the cysts was 8 cm and we obtained progressive collapse of all of them. This technique was a simple and effective methode with good results.

Unusual case of Munchausen's syndrome: factitious vesical lithiasis.

We report an uncommon case of a 38-year-old woman who admitted for bladder lithiasis undergoing repeated surgical management and being apparently recurrent. The intravenous pyelography and retrograde urethrocystography clear the urinary tract. Biologic evaluation eliminates any metabolic or endocrine cause. The confirmation of a factitious origin is given by fluorescence X analysis of the extracted stones which conclude to calcium carbonate structure and psychiatric care. The self-intromission of these calculi into the bladder is due to the personality disorder being in the frame of Munchausen's syndrome. Two years later, no recurrence is noted and an excellent psychiatric care is achieved.

[Venereal condylomata acuminata of the bladder. Apropos of 2 cases]. / Condylomes vénériens de la vessie. A propos de deux cas.

The authors report two cases of condylomas of the bladder. They describe the histological, clinical, radiological and endoscopical aspects of this exceptional injury of the bladder. The prognostic and treatment are discussed.

Endoscopic percutaneous drainage of a renal echinococcal cyst during percutaneous nephrolithotomy.

In Morocco, hydatid disease is endemic and constitutes a major problem of public health. Renal echinococcal cyst ranks third after pulmonary and hepatic locations. We report a case of renal echinococcal cyst diagnosed during percutaneous nephrolithotomy which was treated endoscopically. To our knowledge, this situation has not been reported previously in the literature.

[Diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of suburethral diverticuli. Apropos of 9 cases and review of the literature]. / Aspects diagnostiques et thérapeutiques des poches sous-urétrales. A propos de 9 cas et revue de la littérature.

Nine female patients with a urethral diverticulum were admitted to our center over a six period: The clinical symptomatology was not specific. The diagnosis has been performed by voiding and retrograde cysto-uretrogram. The surgical treatment consisted in the excision of the diverticula, with the patient in the supine position. No perioperative morbidity was observed.
