Purpose - to analyze the current state of problem patients’ treatment with stones in augmented bladder and recommend optimal approaches for their elimination, based on literature data. Augmentation cystoplasty is a surgical procedure used adults children refractory dysfunction, including, particular, small capacity, whom conservative has failed. The leading pediatric pathologies which enterocys...

Ovarian metastasis was described the first time by Friedrich Ernst Krukenberg in 1896. Even if the historical timeline dates back to sir James Paget who had described the process in 1854 [1]. The tumor was metastazing from gastric cancer. Consequently, all metastatic ovarian cancers had been referred to as Krukenberg tumors [2]. Actually, Krukenberg tumors account for approximately 15% of malig...

The collision tumor is defined by Meyer as that arisen from the accidental meeting and eventual intermingling of two independent neoplasms, which is quite rare. Most of them occur in the junction of different epithelial types of tissue such as oral cavity, esophagogastric junction, anorectaljunction and cervix, while collision tumors occurring in the liver, gallbladder, pancreatic, urinary blad...

background: this study compared the early success, complication and patient satisfaction rates of modified extraperitoneal radical cystectomy (mainz ii urinary diversion) with standard intraperitoneal radical cystectomy (continent ileocecal urinary diversion) in a group of patients with muscle invasive urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder. methods: from september 2009 until november 2013...

Retroperitoneal benign lipomas are extremely rare and represent about 2.9% of all primary retroperitoneal tumors. About 80% of the tumors in the retroperitoneal cavities are malignant neoplasms. We experienced a case of a retroperitoneal lipoma simulating an ovarian mature cystic teratoma. A diagnosis was correctly made by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) prior to surgery, and a total tumorecto...

The aim of the present meta-analysis was to compare the benefits of Bacillus Calmetter-Guerin (BCG) and mitomycin C in the treatment of patients with superficial bladder cancer. The present meta-analysis analyzed the benefits of BCG and mitomycin C in the treatment of patients with superficial bladder cancer by comparing progression-free survival (PFS) rates in patients treated with either of t...

Purpose: 9p21 is a major target in the pathogenesis of human urinary bladder cancer. The locus harbors the CDKN2A/ARF tumor suppressor gene, which encodes two cell cycle regulatory proteins cyclin dependent kinase 2A (p16) and alternate reading frame (p14). We have designed a real-time quantitative PCR (QPCR) application to study homozygous deletion (HD) of CDKN2A/ARF in 186 urinary bladder can...

bladder cancer is the most frequent genitourinary malignancy in iran. environmental and genetic factors are the two factors linked with bladder cancer expansion. the aim of this study was to investigate the role of pten gene and environmental risk factors on the progression and prognosis of bladder cancer.we evaluated 55 tumor specimens and 66 bladder mucosa samples of non-cancerous patients be...
