Enterovesical Fistula Revealing Crohn's Disease: A Case Report.

Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease of unknown etiology. It is characterized by intra- and extra-intestinal complications. It is a frequent cause of uroenteric fistulas. They are mostly symptomatic and occur after several years of the evolution of Crohn's disease. The pneumaturia and fecaluria are the most significant symptoms for their presence. They are usually poorly tolerated and require surgical treatment. We report the case of an enterovesical fistula revealing Crohn's disease during endoscopic resection of a bladder pseudotumor in a generally impaired patient. Crohn's disease should be evocated when histology is not relevant for a bladder pseudotumor or a rectovesical fistula. The discovery of an isolated bladder pseudotumor should suggest the diagnosis in the context of weight loss and chronic diarrhea. Enterovesical fistulas are uncommon but potentially dangerous complications of Crohn's disease. Abdominal CT scans and cystoscopy are the most commonly used diagnostic modalities. Surgical treatment seems to be unavoidable in most cases although medical treatment could also benefit a small cohort of patients.

An etiological assessment of a deep vein thrombosis led to the discovery of a renal tumor collision: Case report.

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: The thromboembolic complication of kidney's tumor is rare, and they can be the reason for the discovery of those tumor. Also the collision kidney tumor, such as a simultaneous occurrence of different histological types of adjacent neoplasms in the same organ is rare. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a patient diagnosed with a kidney tumor discovered in the context of an etiological assessment of thrombosis, presenting with pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis of the lower limb. This tumor treated by a cytoreductive nephrectomy. The histologic diagnosis of PRCC (Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma) associated with a chromophobe cell carcinoma and sarcomatoid component was rendered. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: The development of the tumor process and its progression to the metastatic stage is largely favored by the hypercoagulable state, and the cancer itself promotes the appearance of thrombo-enmbolic phenomena due to this phenomenon. Two major studies recommend that immediate cytoreductive nephrectomy should be offered to metastatic patients with a good general condition. CONCLUSION: A renal tumor collision is rare, whereas the risk factors for a renal tumor collision are the same as a renal tumor without collision, just as the management of a metastatic renal tumor is the same. Understanding the thromboembolic physiopathology in the case of kidney cancer has made it possible to optimize management.

Acute pyelonephritis revealing an exceptional form of horseshoe kidney: A case report.

INTRODUCTION: The horseshoe kidney is a malformation of the upper urinary tract where the kidney is U-shaped. This condition results the fusion of the lower poles of the right and left kidneys on the midline. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of pyelonephritis revealing a rare form of horseshoe kidney with fusion of the lower pole of the right kidney with the upper pole of the left kidney, initially treated with urine drainage. DISCUSSION: Multiple etiological conditions may contribute to the development of a horseshoe kidney, in particular: the genetic/chromosomal predisposition, intrauterine environment and structural factors affecting kidney development and migration. CONCLUSION: Horseshoe kidneys reveal a veritable range of anatomical and embryological peculiarities, always suspect pyelonephritis on a horseshoe kidney in the presence of febrile abdominal pain in a patient with malformations.

Infertility revealing intratubular germinal cell neoplasia of the testis: Case report and review of the literature.

INTRODUCTION: Testicular cancer is the most frequent solid tumor in young people. Most germ cell tumors of the testis, with the exception of vitelline tumors and teratomas in children, and spermatocytic seminoma in the elderly, derive from a common precursor. This precursor, initially described as carcinoma in situ (CIS), is now referred to as intratubular Germinal Cell Neoplasia (ITGCN). CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 37-year-old man with intratubular Germinal Cell Neoplasia (ITGCN) on a testis already treated for cryptorchidism in a context of infertility. We proposed active surveillance, but the patient preferred radiotherapy. DISCUSSION: The origin of ITGCN is still not fully understood. The detection of ITGN is often incidental since it typically does not present with noticeable symptoms, and clinical examination may appear normal. The standard treatment for ITGCN is scrotal radiotherapy. CONCLUSION: The standard treatment for ITGCN is scrotal radiotherapy. However, for patients who desire to preserve fertility, regular observation may be considered as an alternative.

Acute urine retention following medullary compression of metastatic breast cancer in the spinal cord: Rare symptomatlogic presentation and management.

The management of locally advanced and metastatic breast cancer has evolved since 2021, with confirmation of the role of cell cycle inhibitors. The discovery of breast cancer is often the result of self-examination through the discovery of a nodule, but may also be due to symptoms at the metastatic site. The spinal cord is one of the rare sites of metastatic breast cancer involvement. We report the management of a rare case of metastatic breast cancer in the spinal cord, discovered following acute urinary retention.

Management of a localized prostatic adenocarcinoma despite the very high rate of PSA and the large tumor mass: Does PSA level indicate the stage of prostate cancer?

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a marker specific to the prostate gland, and it is, therefore, possible to observe an increase in PSA above 4 ng/mL in cases of benign prostatic hypertrophy and cancer. But according to studies, a very high PSA level is most likely synonymous with metastatic prostate cancer. Our rare case concerns the management of a localized prostatic adenocarcinoma despite a very high PSA level of over 3000 ng/mL, with an enormous volume of prostate without invasion or distant metastasis. A very high PSA level can probably be a sign of metastatic prostatic adenocarcinoma, but not necessarily.

Fournier's gangrene revealing an aggressive squamous cell carcinoma of the penis: An exceptional case report.

Fournier's gangrene is a fast progressive necrotizing fasciitis of the perineum and external genitals, It is secondary to polymicrobial infection by aerobic and anaerobic bacteria with synergistic action. The origin of the infection is either cutaneous, urogenital or colorectal. There are age, diabetes and immunosuppression, are frequently present in affected patients. Fluid and electrolyte management, combined with broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy followed rapidly by surgical debridement, is the standard of treatment. we report in this article a very rare case of cancer of the penis manifested by fournier's gangrene.

A rare case report of bile duct compression by a polycystic kidney treated by total nephrectomy after embolization.

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Polycystic kidney disease is a cillopathy characterized by the formation of numerous cysts in the kidneys, sometimes associated with extra-renal forms. Diagnosis is often by chance, or by other complications such as hematuria, urinary tract infections or, rarely, compression of neighboring organs. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a patient consulted for a symptomatology similar to that of acute pancreatitis, whose investigation objectified compression of the main bile duct by a voluminous right kidney polycystic in a CT scan. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: For this compressive complication of the polycystic kidney, a nephrectomy was performed after embolization of the renal artery, given the haemorrhage risk. CONCLUSION: A polycystic kidney should be removed in the event of a compressive complication and, given the risk of haemorrhage, should preferably be preceded by embolization.

Acute hepatic colic led to the discovery of an adrenal myolipoma without a hemorrhagic component: About a rare symptomatologic presentation - Case report.

The discovery of an adrenal myolipoma is often fortuitous, or due to the effects of hypersecretion of the adrenal gland. A large tumor can exert a mass effect on neighbouring organs, as in our case where the myolipoma leads to compression of the main bile duct and causes hepatic colic, which is rare to explain the discovery of an adrenal myolipoma on CT.

Acute epididymitis revealing isolated testicular tuberculosis: A rare case report.

Genitourinary tuberculosis is a rare form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis that affects the kidneys, ureters, prostate, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, testes, and epididymis. Testicular tuberculosis is a very unusual form, We report a rare case of unilateral testicular tuberculosis that manifested as orchi-epididymitis. The main treatment for urogenital tuberculosis is antituberculosis therapy, possibly combined with surgery.

Testicular metastasis of urothelial carcinoma simulating testicular cancer: A rare case report.

Metastatic cancers of the testis are rare. Metastatic disease in the testis from urothelial carcinoma is extremely rare. Usually, metastatic testicular cancers are from primitive prostate, lung, and gastrointestinal tumors. Testicular metastases from urothelial carcinoma should be suspected in patients with hematuria and testicular swelling.

Fortuitous discovery of a resectable primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of the seminal vesicle in a young patient: Case report.

Primary seminal vesicle adenocarcinoma is an extremely rare tumor. Accurate recognition of malignant neoplasms of the seminal vesicle is a crucial condition to establish a correct treatment that leads to improvement of long-term survival. Diagnosis of seminal vesicle carcinoma is based on many methods including imaging, biology, and pathological assessment, especially by means of immunohistochemistry. Herein, we report a case of primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of the seminal vesicle mimicking a benign congenital cyst in a 25-year-old patient, fortuitously discovered on a pelvic computer tomography scan.

Penile Metastases After Cystoprostatectomy for Urothelial Carcinoma of the Bladder: A Case Report.

Penile metastases from urothelial carcinoma are rare (1-8%). They most often (65%) occur within 18 months of diagnosis of the primary lesion and their prognosis is poor, with survival rarely exceeding 20 months. Treatment of cavernous metastases is multidisciplinary. The best results in terms of overall survival have been obtained with amputation of the penis combined with chemotherapy. We present a case of a 62-year-old male who presented with a metastasis of the penis. This was confirmed by MRI and biopsy, which confirmed the urothelial origin of the metastasis. The patient had undergone radical cystoprostatectomy for an invasive bladder tumor six months earlier. The patient died 10 days after the biopsy due to a significant deterioration in his general condition and the onset of consciousness disorders.

Bladder tumor discovered by joint pain in the pelvis and functional impotence of the lower limb.

Macroscopic hematuria is the most common telltale clinical sign for muscle-infiltrating or non-muscle bladder tumors. Lower urinary tract disorders, pelvic pain or signs related to upper urinary tract obstruction may be associated. In our case, the reason for consultation is sciatica, progressing to functional impairment of the lower right limb without any urological sign.

Subcapsular hematoma of the kidney after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy: A rare complication.

extracorporeal shock wave (ESLW) is a common and relatively safe procedure, with a high success rate and low side effects. its complications are limited to the kidneys and always disappear spontaneously. Acute pain is the only manifestation of kidney hematoma and should be explored. Conservative treatment is generally the treatment of choice. We reported the case of a 60-year-old man who underwent extracorporeal lithotripsy, 4 h after the procedure, he was presented to the emergency with severe abdominal pain, and a CT scan showed a hematoma of the left kidney. Conservative treatment was performed, and the patient was discharged at home in 48h.

Giant hydatid cyst of the right kidney discovered in a subicterus table.

Hydatidosis is a rare parasitic disease that is endemic in many countries of the Mediterranean basin. Among unusual localizations, renal involvement is rarer (2-3% of visceral forms) than splenic and soft tissue localizations but more frequent than cardiac, bony or cerebral localizations.
