摘要:

We report a case of renal cortical abscess in a gravid woman. The abscess was documented by US as well as by MRI. The development of a kidney abscess is extremely rare despite the fact that urinary tract infections are quite common during pregnancy. The limitations of the diagnostic work-up during pregnancy are emphasized.

摘要:

The diagnostic and therapeutic problems of renal hamartomas are illustrated by a case of recurrence of bleeding angiomyolipomas associated with tuberous sclerosis. Ultrasound and computed tomography provide clear evidence of lipomatous formation while, in rare instances, angiography can demonstrate the existence of multiple vascular tumor compartments. In view of the risk of bleeding, multiple or very large angiomyolipomas should be treated by interventional radiology in the form of superselective tumor embolization or by the most conservative surgery possible.

摘要:

Benign tumors in the renal pelvis are unique and rarely reported. We report a case of a benign polyp in the renal pelvis. A 68-year-old woman presented with a mass in the right renal sinus and underwent right nephrectomy. Histological investigations of the tumor revealed a polypoid angiofibromatous lesion of the renal pelvis which was benign in nature. Final pathological diagnosis was a benign fibroepithelial polyp.

摘要:

We report a case of renal carcinoma which presented initially with lymphatic spread. Five years later, a contralateral ureteric tumour was excised, with to date, 2 years of disease-free survival. Isolated ureteric metastases are very uncommon.

摘要:

A 21-year-old phenotypic male with ambiguous external genitalia and hypospadias was referred for cytogenetic studies. Exploratory laparotomy revealed presence of a small atropic uterus, unilateral gonadal dysgenesis with fallopian tubes on both sides and a cryptorchid testis on the left side. No gonad could be traced on the right side. Chromosomal analysis from peripheral whole blood culture revealed a 46, XY cell line. No mosaicism was detected. Endocrine studies showed elevated levels of serum FSH and LH with low borderline testosterone level and failure to respond to HCG stimulation. The presence of fallopian tube next to testis suggests absence of anti-Müllerian hormone secretion by Sertoli cells. The absence of Wolffian duct derivatives indicates insufficient secretion of testosterone by Leydig cells
