Cancer of the penis associated with HIV: a report of three cases presenting at the CHU cocody, ivory coast.

BACKGROUND: We describe three cases of advanced penile cancer associated with HIV infection. CASE PRESENTATION: Advanced penile cancer associated with VIH infection were discovered in three patients aged respectively 47, 56 and 40. The prognosis was extremely poor. Two patients died without receiving any treatment and one patient was lost to follow-up after refusing all treatment proposed. CONCLUSION: There appears to be a link between HIV infection and penile cancer with concomitant HIV infection worsening the prognosis of the disease.

[Primary leiomyosarcoma of adrenal gland, in black African woman: diagnosis and therapeutically aspects]. / Léiomyosarcome primitif de la surrénale chez une noire africaine : aspects diagnostiques et thérapeutiques.

We report a bulky adrenal gland in black woman of 52 years old. This patient was submitted to surgery for resection of the mass. The histopathologic exam found primary leiomyosarcoma of adrenal gland. Beyond twelve month after adrenalectomy, the patient was alive without metastasis.

[Nosocomial urinary stent infection at the urology service of the Cocody University Hospital Center]. / Infection urinaire nosocomiale sur sonde dans le service d'urologie du CHU de Cocody.

One of the most common complication of urinary stent is urinary infection. At the Cocody University, 28 men and 2 females who had a urinary stent were evaluated for urinary infection, bacterial growth, and their sensitivity to antibiotics. In 85.71% of the cases, the bacteriologic analysis was positive for a mean duration of urinary drainage of 32, 62 days (range 03 to 90 days). Bacterial isolates were: 11 cases of Klebsiella spp, 5 cases of Providencia spp; 1 case of Escherichia coli, 1 case of Serratia marcescens. Among these bacteria, 77.78% were resistant to most of the antibiotics. Therefore, stent urinary infection is mostly due to multi resistant bacteria. Treatment needs an adapted antibiotherapy after removal of the causative agent.

Treatment of dual urinary and fecal incontinence by implantation of two AMS 800 artificial sphincters. Case report.

We report the case of a 61-year-old woman with urinary and anal incontinence due to neurologic disease. An AMS 800 artificial sphincter was implanted first round the bladder neck with recovery of satisfactory urinary continence. Four months later, another AMS 800 artificial sphincter was implanted round the anal sphincter. Two revisional procedures had to be performed: replacement of the pump for mechanical failure, and replacement of the low-pressure balloon by a high-pressure one. Finally the patient has been almost completely continent with only occasional leakage of feces or liquid stools (follow-up 24 months after activation). Defecography shows total rectal evacuation and anorectal manometry records an anal closing pressure of 70 cm H2O. Dual implantation of artificial sphincters is possible for incontinence of neurological origin, provided bladder and rectal compliance are normal.
