conclusions preoperative diagnosis of spermatic cord leiomyosarcma is difficult and commonly made by histological examination and immunochemical staining. case presentation here we reported a 75-year-old man who presented with a painless lump in the right hemiscrotum. a right radical orchiectomy was performed. histopathology confirmed a neoplastic tissue with mesenchymal origin in spermatic cor...

PURPOSE To examine the frequency of additional neoplasms preceding and following the diagnosis of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 156 patients with MCL treated on the hyperfractionated cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin and dexamethasone alternated with methotrexate and cytosine arabinoside (Hyper-CVAD/M-A) program with or without rituximab from 1994 to 200...

INTRODUCTION Our aim was to compare transabdominal ultrasonography (US) and intravenous urography (IVU) in the evaluation of patients with hematuria. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two hundred patients with hematuria were assessed by US and IVU, and if needed, by cystoscopy, ureteroscopy, and CT scan, to determine the definite cause of hematuria. The results of US and IVU were compared according to th...

Spinal anesthesia is one of the most used techniques in elderly patients, with doses varying according to proposed surgery and surgeons [1]. Schwannomas are benign, encapsulated, slow-growing neoplasms. made up neoplastic schwann cells differentiated [2]. The diagnosis Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) confirmation obtained through histological immunohistochemical studies In order study reclassi...

Renal tumors are the third most common malignancies after prostate and bladder cancers amongst the urologic neoplasms [1]. Renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) account for 85% of all renal epithelial tumors. Clear cell is the most common subtype of RCC, papillary and chromophobe subtypes are the other common histologic subtypes. Here in, we report a case of papillary RCC presenting with hematuria which...

INTRODUCTION To date, little information exists regarding urogenital diseases in those who have been exposed to sulfur mustard (SM). We report the self-reported history of urologic conditions and findings on physical examination in a group of male veterans 19 to 26 years after exposed to high-dose sulfur mustard. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data on urologic health conditions of a nationwide health ...

Prostatic hyperplasia (PH) is a common urologic disease that affects mostly elderly men. PH can be classified as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or prostate cancer (PCa) based on its severity. Oxidative stress (OS) is known to influence the activities of inflammatory mediators and other cellular processes involved in the initiation, promotion and progression of human neoplasms including pro...

conclusions aki is common in urology patients. the underlying aetiologies of aki in this group may explain a lower overall mortality, although increasing aki severity remains a marker of patients at higher risk of poor outcomes. the low rate of renal recovery suggests that urology patients who sustain aki are exposed to a significant risk of ckd and its attendant consequences for long term heal...
