The endocrine system and genitourinary tract unite in various syndromes. Genitourinary malignancies may cause paraneoplastic endocrine syndromes by secreting hormonal substances. These entities include Cushing`s syndrome, hypercalcemia, hyperglycemia, polycythemia, hypertension, and inappropriate ADH or HCG production. The most important syndromic scenarios that links these two systems are here...

Introduction Tuberculosis, one of the oldest diseases is known to affect human and is caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis. The disease may be fatal within the 5 years in more than 50% of cases (1). Genitourinary tuberculosis accounts for about 15% of all extra pulmonary tuberculosis; this is usually due to hematogenous spread following primary infection and may involve any portion of genitouri...

Complete duplication of the hindgut associated with duplication of the genitourinary tract and double termination is an extremely rare condition. The presence of complex duplications have fascinated most lay clinicians and parents. The present study describes a case of duplication of the hindgut associated with duplication of the genitourinary systems. A review of the literature revealed six re...

INTRODUCTION Pathologists are understandably concerned about failing to diagnose a malignant neoplasm. It is arguably as important, however, for them to recognize benign but deceptive lesions that mimic cancers. Overinterpretation of such pseudomalignant lesions may lead to unnecessary, radical surgery with attendant functional disability and even potential mortality. In this lecture we will ex...

The variety of foreign bodies inserted into or externally attached to the genitourinary tract defies imagination and includes all types of objects. The frequency of such cases renders these an important addition to the diseases of the genitourinary organs. The most common motive associated with the insertion of foreign bodies into the genitourinary tract is sexual or erotic in nature. In adults...

The importance of oxidase-positive, nonfermentative, Gram-negative bacilli in a variety of pathological processes is becoming increasingly important. Oligella urethralis is an organism which is normally isolated as a commensal from the genitourinary tract. We have described one case of urinary tract infection caused by this organism. This isolated organism is found to be resistant to quinolones...

tuberculosis (tb) global prevalence remains almost unchanged over the past few decades. though genitourinary tract tuberculosis is common, it is rarely associated with scrotal fistula. we present  a rare case of advanced tuberculous epididymo-orchitis (tbeo) which culminated in removing the testis. before final diagnosis is made, it was unresponsive to empirical therapy of bacterial epididymo-o...

Severe generalised haemorrhage associated with plasma proteolytic activity after thoracic surgery, operations for hyperplasia or carcinoma of the prostate, gastrointestinal or pancreatic resection, and other operations was reported in the early 1950s.1-3 Such plasma proteolytic activity is usually part of a disseminated intravascular coagulation syndrome. Sometimes, however, the local fibrinoly...
