[Vesical hemangioma]. / Hemangioma vesical.

Bladder hemangiomas are mesenquimal tumors, generally benign and of difficult diagnosis, representing only 0.6% primary bladder tumors. Fundamental diagnosis is histological, since imaging test can't differenciate this from other bladder tumors. We present a case of a 60-year-old male who came to our service with macroscopic hematuria. RTU of one blue mass in the bladder was performed and the histological examination showed to be cavernous hemangioma. A review of literature was realized, commenting on the most typical clinical aspects, the diagnostic methods and the last therapeutic techniques in this type of lesions.

[Diagnosis and treatment of urological complications in kidney transplants]. / Diagnóstico y tratamiento de las complicaciones uroógicas del trasplante renal.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the incidence of urological complications, like fistula and stenosis in our series of 282 renal transplants and their management. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between December 1995 and October 2005, 282 adult recipients underwent renal transplant. The most common urological complication was urinary fistula. This complication was observed in 24 cases (8.5%), ureteral stenosis in 18 cases (6.4%) and both of them in 5 (1.7%). The items recorded on these patients included the time to diagnosis, the image technique, the type of ureteral stents and the clinical evolution. RESULTS: Endourologic treatment with percutaneos nefrostomy, double-J catheter and metalic endoprotesis was performed successfully in 76.4% of urinary fistula, in 66.7% of ureteral obstruction and in 60% of patients who developed both of them. CONCLUSION: Endourologic procedures have replaced open reconstructive surgery in most patients with ureteral obstruction or urinary fistula after renal transplant, because they may offer a definitive treatment with low morbidity.

[Spermatic cord liposarcoma. Association with prostate cancer. Report of a case and review of literature]. / Liposarcoma de cordón espermático. Asociación con carcinoma de próstata. Comunicación de un caso y revisión de la literatura.

Spermatic Cord Liposarcoma are uncommon soft tissue neoplasm. Association with others tumors is so exceptional. We describe and relation between liposarcoma and prostate cancer in a 66 years old patient who had a left paratesticular tumor with low speed growth and 12 cm of length; nodule in prostate gland was detected. Ecography demostrate an hipoecoic tumor in the spermatic cord; Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) was 1276 ng./ml. and bone gammagraphy reported metastatic lesions. We made an radical orquiectomy and pathological diagnosis including inmunohistoquimical process was sclerosing dedifferenciated liposarcoma. We discuss clinical and pathologic behaviour of this lesions and diagnosis and treatment options.

[Adult Wilms' tumor]. / Tumor de Wilms del adulto.

Wilms' tumor is a malignant embryonic renal neoplasm that is exceptional in adults. There are not clinical data or radiographic investigations that can distinguish it from renal cell carcinoma. So the diagnostic is based in the pathological evaluation. It may be cystic and must be consider in the differential diagnosis of cystic lesions of the kidney. The prognosis of Wilms' tumor in adults is worse than in children because of the high recurrence, the lower response rate to chemotherapy regimens and the advanced stage at the time of clinical presentation, like an asymptomatic abdominal mass in 75% of the cases. We report a new case of nephroblastoma in a 29 years old woman presenting like a renal colic, with a cystic configuration by abdominal ultrasound initially, that changed into a solid renal mass later. There is not a definitive treatment protocol currently but some authors suggest a combination chemotherapy with carboplatin and etoposide because it is very effective in recurrent or refractory adult Wilms' tumor. Our patient remains asymptomatic and without evidence of recurrence 18 months after the surgery.
