[A fibroepithelial polyp of the ureter. A report of 2 new cases]. / Pólipo fibroepitelial del ureter. Aportación de dos nuevos casos.

Primal neoplasias of the ureter are very rare and account for less than 1% of all genitourinary tumours. Only 20% of them are benign, and the fibroepithelial lineage is the more frequent. We contribute two cases of fibroepithelial polyps of the ureter; a brief comment on the etiology of these lesions, the routine diagnosis procedures and current therapeutical options is presented. Due to breakthroughs in radiologic and endoscopic techniques for the upper urinary tract, a more precise pre-operative diagnosis of these lesions has been achieved as well as a more conservative therapy which avoids incorrect and unnecessary nephroureterectomies, so frequent in past times, considering the benign nature of this unusual pathology.

[Congenital inward curvature of the penis without hypospadias. Report of 3 new cases]. / Incurvación congénita del pene sin hipospadias. Aportación de tres nuevos casos.

We report on 3 young patients with congenital curvature of the penis without hypospadias (a rare disease entity) who consulted us for erectile deviation causing difficulty or inability to achieve vaginal penetration. No patient referred pain and the deviation was ventral, left lateral and ventral, and left lateral, respectively. These patients underwent surgical correction with the technic described by Nesbit in 1965. Good results were achieved in all patients; correction permitted patients to resume normal sexual activity. The literature is reviewed highlighting the good results afforded by this simple yet effective technic for surgical correction of this condition.

Giant cell arteritis limited to the prostate.

We describe a 66-year-old man with giant cell arteritis (GCA) limited to the prostate. His symptoms, which resembled prostatic neoplasia, resolved with systemic steroid therapy. Pathology studies revealed no clinical or histologic data indicating temporal artery involvement. To our knowledge this is the first described case of GCA involving the prostate.
