Introduction Bilateral extrarenal calyces, which are characterized by calyces and renal pelvis that lie outside the renal parenchyma, associated with variations of renal vessels is one of the rare anomalies of the collecting system. This variant may be associated with other variations of the urogenital system, like bifid kidney, ectopic kidney, horseshoe kidney and renal dysplasia. This could b...

Abstract The aim of imaging in children with congenital and acquired abnormalities the genitourinary system is to increase quality care by establishing an accurate diagnosis guiding child’s management. Pediatric urological conditions are diverse many different approaches We will present a concise overview most important common disorders pediatric urogenital tract.

Carcinoid tumors rarely originate in the urogenital system. We represent a unique case of primary renal carcinoid tumor which was initially diagnosed as renal cell cancer and 10 years later correctly diagnosed as metastatic renal carcinoid.

With current advances in antenatal medicine it is feasible to diagnose prenatal anomalies earlier and potentially treat these anomalies before they become a significant postnatal problem. We discuss different methods and signs of urogenital anomalies and emphasize the use of telemedicine to assist patients and healthcare providers in remote healthcare facilities, in real time. We discuss prenat...

Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC)-like cells (ICC-LCs) have been identified in many regions of the urinary tract and male genital organs by immunohistochemical studies and electron microscopy. ICC-LCs are characterized by their spontaneous electrical and Ca(2+) signalling and the cellular mechanisms of their generation have been extensively investigated. Spontaneous activity in ICC-LCs rises fr...

BACKGROUND There are few studies in the literature performed in human fetuses evaluating the incidence of genitourinary anomalies. AIMS Analyze the incidence of congenital urogenital malformations in human male fetuses. STUDY DESIGNS AND SUBJECTS: We analyzed 166 human male fetuses well preserved. The gestational age was determined in weeks post conception (WPC) according to the foot length c...

Bacterial infections, especially endogenous, are the frequent complications among hemodialyzed and renal transplant patients. In this study we assumed the prevalence of urogenital mycoplasmas and HPV among hemodialysed women. We examined 32 hemodialysed women aged 20-48 (mean 35.6 ± 8.23) and 100 healthy controls of the same ages. Two swabs were collected for detection of mycoplasmas and HPV. C...
