A case report of giant paratesticular myxoid liposarcoma

Liposarcomas are an uncommon occurrence in the paratesticular region that makes about 20 % of all sarcomas. The clinical appearance is an inguinal lump, which can resemble a hydrocele or hernia. There would be no conventional treatment accessible because it is such a rare disease. We report the case of a 68-year-old man with paratesticular myxoid liposarcoma. Ultrasound and CT-scan came back in favor of a paratesticular tumor. A high inguinal orchidectomy has been done and the diagnostic of myxoid liposarcoma was first evoked by histology and confirmed by molecular biology. At 12 months follow up the patient remains tumor free.

Total clipless laparoscopic nephrectomy carried out with the LigaSure device: Preliminary experience

BACKGROUND

Total laparoscopic nephrectomy has become the standard method for the removal of diseased kidneys.

OBJECTIVES

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of the LigaSure vessel closure system during laparoscopic nephrectomy.

METHODS

From January 2018 to June 2018, the LigaSure device was used in 5 patients undergoing laparoscopic nephrectomy for non functional kidney. Nephrectomy was carried out without the use of clips or sutures for vessel closure. We report intraoperative findings, conversion rates, blood loss, operative time, morbidity, and postoperative outcomes.

RESULTS

Median operative time was 45minutes (range 25 to 60min). Median blood loss was 30mL (range 10 to 50mL). No conversions to open surgery were necessary. No patients experienced major bleeding intraoperatively or postoperatively. All patients left the hospital one day after the procedure. Histopathological examination of the removed kidneys was in favor of chronic non specific pyelonephritis.

CONCLUSIONS

For the treatment of the renal pedicle during total laparoscopic nephrectomy of a destroyed kidney, the LigaSure device appears to be feasible and effective. Our experience is the first to demonstrate the advantages of LigaSure® in laparoscopic nephrectomy: reduction in operating time, blood loss, transfusions and length of stay in hospital.

Abrikossoff's tumor of the penis: a case report

Background

Granular cell tumors (GCTs) also called Abrikossoff's tumor are rare tumors of often benign neurogenic origin, mainly located in the craniocervical region, rarely found in the external genitals. We report in this article the case report of a purely cutaneous case of rare clinical presentation at the level of the penis.

Case presentation

We report the case of a man, aged 54, with no history, consulted for a nodular lesion on the penis evolving for a year. a nodular cutaneous plate, indurated 3 cm in large diameter, painless and mobile in relation to the deep plane. The lymph node areas were free, and the remainder of the skin examination was without abnormalities.

Conclusions

Granular cell tumors (GCTs) also called Abrikossoff's tumor are rare tumors of often benign neurogenic origin, mainly located in the craniocervical region, rarely found in the external genitalia, the diagnosis is based on anatomopathology study completed by immunohistochemistry, and treatment consists of complete surgical excision of the tumor.

•

Since the transvaginal mesh ban autologous tissue repair has become the cornerstone of all vaginal prolapse surgery.

•

Autologous tissue repair is easy, fast and inexpensive and postoperative fibrosis provides sufficient support for quality anchorage.

•

Techniques using autologous material on the basis of TVT and TOT techniques seems to have a high tolerance and long-lasting functional effectiveness.

Safety and feasibility of same-day discharge laparoscopic radical prostatectomy: a systematic review

Purpose

Day case or same-day discharge (SDD) pure laparoscopic or robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RP) has risen over the last few years with the aim of discharging patients within 24 h, reducing costs and length of stay, and facilitating return to active life. We perform a systematic review of literature to evaluate the feasibility of SDD RP.

Methods

A systematic review search was performed and the following bibliographic databases were accessed: PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, and Embase. This was carried out in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.

Results

Based on the literature search of 509 articles, 12 (1378 patients) met the inclusion criteria (mean age: 63 years). All studies were unicentric except one. The mean SDD surgeries experience per centre was 66 cases .The means operative time and blood loss were 154 min and 126.5 ml, respectively. Mean SDD failure was 7.4%. Concomitant lymph node dissection was performed in 56.2%. The overall complication rate was 10.2% of cases; with a majority of Clavien grade I or II. Mean readmission rate after discharge was 5%. SDD generated cost reductions compared to inpatient surgery with variable differences according to the considered healthcare system.

Conclusions

Day-case RP is a safe and feasible strategy in selected cases with multicentre proofs of concept. Its widespread use in routine practice needs further research due to biases in patient selection. Implementation of peri-operative pathways such as ERAS and prehabilitation improves patient adherence to SDD.

Laparoscopic nephrectomy: Moroccan experience of 68 cases

Background

The aim of this study was to analyze the feasibility and the safety of laparoscopic nephrectomy in the treatment of pathologies of the upper urinary tract through the experience of the Urology B department.

Methods

We have retrospectively and monocentrally selected patients who underwent laparoscopic nephrectomy from January 2017 to December 2019. The collection was carried out on archived files, based on demographic, clinical and perioperative data. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of complications and secondarily the length of the operation and the length of hospital stay. The statistical analysis was carried out using the SPSS software.

Results

A total of 68 patients were included in our series. The average age of our patients was 57.8 years. There was a slight female predominance: 39 female patients (57.4%) for 29 male patients (42.6%). Indications for nephrectomy were dominated by renal tumor (33.82%) followed by lithiasis (16.17%) and non-functioning kidney (16.17%) at the same rank. During the study period, 31 (45.6%) simple nephrectomy, 26 (38.2%) total nephrectomy, 1 (1.5%) partial nephrectomy and 10 (14.7%) nephroureterectomy were performed in our department. In our series, the average operating time was 180 min. Estimated blood loss averaged 321.8 ml with extremes of a few milliliter to 1100 ml. Intraoperative complications were reported in 10 (14.7%) patients; conversion was necessary in 6 cases (8.82%). The postoperative follow-up was straightforward in 53 (77.94%) patients with an average hospital stay of 3.6 days. The rate of postoperative complications according to Clavien–Dindo was 22.1%. Histological examination of the nephrectomies carried out in our department revealed mainly chronic non-specific pyelonephritis in 24 (35.3%) patients, followed by renal cell carcinoma in 23 (33.82%) patients and urothelial carcinoma in 9 (13.2%) patients.

Conclusion

Laparoscopic nephrectomy appears to be an efficient and reliable technique. This technique has led to a significant improvement in operative morbidity, mainly represented by the length of hospital stay, operating time and blood loss.

Histology of variants of urothelial carcinoma of the bladder: a Moroccan series of 39 cases

Background

The variant of urothelial carcinoma (UCV) is a rare and aggressive histological entity; its therapeutic management remains debated.

Methods

Between January 2017 and October 2019, 39 patients were diagnosed retrospectively with urothelial carcinoma with a histological variant. The aim of this study was to analyze the clinico-pathological and therapeutic aspects of these variants to better understand this invasive disease.

Results

In 39 cases, 36 (92%) were men and 3 (8%) were women; the average age was 62 years; 54% of patients had a ≥ cT3 stage with clinical lymph node involvement in 28% and 23% had distant metastases, 36% of patients were treated with RC and 54% by other therapeutic and 10% refused RC. No patient received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Lymph node involvement was 28.5%. The two predominant histological types were squamous and micropapillary differentiation between the operating piece and bladder biopsy 28.5%, 30% and 21.5% and 13%, respectively. The overall survival at 20 months was 70 and 40% for RC and the other therapeutic (TURB alone or a TURB with an adjuvant), respectively. There was no significant difference in survival between the two groups (p = 0.27).

Conclusion

UCVs are heterogeneous groups of tumors which are increasingly identified due to their distinct morphological characteristics with variable clinical prognosis. Therapeutic management is not in favor of cystectomy in our study. However, a prospective study using a larger cohort is still necessary to validate our results.

Renal pelvic rupture: A case report of an unexpected cause

INTRODUCTION

Renal pelvic rupture (RPR) is a rare condition, that is most usually caused by obstructive calculi. In another hand, primal ureteral tumors are also uncommon, with only a few cases reporting their involvement in a RPR.

PRESENTATION OF CASE

We report a case with a multimodality discussion of an ureteral tumor, with a spontaneous renal pelvic rupture (RPR) forming a large retrorenal urohematoma.

DISCUSSION

Only few series reported the subject of RPR in the English literature. Only some single cases reported the causality of urinary tract tumors in RPR. RPR is an imaging based diagnosis. Herein, upper urinary tract tumors show a variable appearances at imaging.

CONCLUSION

By reporting this case, we highlight the role of both computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in the diagnosis of the RPR and their accuracy in the detection of the ureteral tumor. We also consolidate the effectiveness of the conservative attitude in the management of the RPR.

Leiyomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava with right renal invasion: about a case report

Background

Leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava (IVC) is a rare tumor that develops from the wall of the IVC and can be confused with many other retroperitoneal tumors. We report the observation of a man with leiomyosarcoma of the vena cava which invades the right kidney.

Case presentation

56-year-old man who has seen progress for right back pain for over a year. His thoraco-abdominal-pelvic scanner found a right tumor process measuring 18 × 13 × 18 cm invading the right kidney and the inferior vena cava, heterogeneous in nature, which is enhanced after injection of iodinated contrast product, pushing back the liver and the gall bladder. A border of separation persisted between the mass and the abdominal and thoracic walls. His biological assessment was normal. He underwent an open right nephrectomy with intraoperative bleeding requiring a transfusion of 2 red blood cells. The patient's follow-up period was 8 months without local recurrence or secondary localization.

Conclusion

The LMS of IVC is a tumor whose management is not yet well codified. Surgery is the only therapeutic means that gives good results, when it is possible. But long-term recurrences remain frequent, which therefore requires prolonged monitoring of these patients.

Study of risk factors for urinary colonization in patients with the double J catheter

Background

The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of urinary colonization in patients with the JJ stent and to define the predictive factors associated with this colonization.

Methods

This is a monocentric prospective study (between January 2013 and April 2017), conducted in the department of Urology B of Ibn Sina Hospital in Rabat. One hundred and forty-five double ureteral stents carried by 120 patients, 25 of which had bilateral double ureteral stent, were examined. The bacteriological profile of the urine of our patients was followed by the completion of an initial urine examination and another at the time of the removal of the JJ. The comparison of the means was made by the Student's test and the Mann–Whitney test for continuous variables and by the KHI-2 test and Fisher's test for qualitative variables. The threshold of significance is set at 0.05.

Results

The rate of colonization of JJ stent was 35.8% (43 out of 120). The urinary colonization rate was 31.7% (38 out of 120). Average time of indwelling of JJ stent was 90 days.

On double ureteral stent culture, we identified Escherichia Coli as the most predominant colonizing pathogen (47.3% of probes) followed by Enterococcus faecalis and Klebsiella pneumoniae (18.4% and 15.8%, respectively). 11.5% of colonized patients developed infectious complications (5 out of 43) and have been treated successfully except a patient who died from septic shock.

In univariate analysis, diabetes mellitus (p = 0.007, OR = 4.1, CI = 1.46–11.48), urgent establishment of JJ (p = 0.03, OR = 4.61; IC = 1.08–19.6) and time of indwelling of the JJ (p = 0.05, OR = 1.89, CI = 0.95–3.77) were the predictive factors for urinary colonization in patients with JJ. In multivariate analysis, these three factors were statistically associated with this risk: diabetes mellitus (p = 0.005, OR = 0.23, CI = 0.08–0.64), the urgent establishment of JJ (p = 0.05, OR = 0.26, CI = 0, 06–1.04) and time of indwelling of the JJ more than 30 days (p = 0.007, OR = 4.29, CI = 1.49–12.37).

Conclusion

The prevalence of urinary colonization in patients with the double J stent was 31.7%. Diabetes mellitus, time of indwelling of the JJ more than 30 days and urgent JJ ​​ establishment are associated with a higher risk of these urinary colonizations.

Strict monitoring is therefore recommended in patients with these risk factors. These results should be confirmed by multicenter and randomized studies to analyze the development of urinary tract infections in colonized patients.

A rectal foreign body: An unexpected cause of a rectovesical fistula with hematuria

Cases of rectal foreign bodies (RFB) insertion are frequently encountred in the last years, leading to many complications, while many patients tends to obscure the context. This entity represent a particular form of rectal injuries that can be more lethal with the peritoneal involvement. However, combination of genitourinary injuries to rectal injuries doesn't worsen the prognosis.

We report a case of a RFB injury leading to an extraperitoneal rectal injuri with a recto-vesical fistula that was managed effectively conservatively with successive CT Cystogram follow-ups.

Testicular epidermoid cyst: about a case report and a review of the literature

Background

The testicular epidermoid cyst is an exceptional benign tumor. The presumptive diagnosis is facilitated by the development of medical imaging (echo-Doppler, elastography, contrast-enhanced ultrasound, MRI). The confirmatory diagnosis is histological.

Case presentation

We report the case report of a 37-year-old man who had a history of repetitive orchitis. He had complained of right scrotal discomfort for 6 months with no associated urinary symptoms. We performed an extemporaneous biopsy given the uncertain diagnosis (Fig. 3), and the histological examination was in favor of a mature teratoma. This prompted us to perform a right orchidectomy. The postoperative was simple. The final histological examination tipped in favor of an epidermoid cyst of the testicle. The patient was seen again at one month, and his clinical examination was normal.

Conclusion

The testicular epidermal cyst is a rare benign tumor of the testicle. Currently, conservative surgery has become the gold standard thanks to the development of medical imaging to differentiate between the both forms of TEC, and it retains certain limits which lie in the differential diagnosis with the teratoma requiring large multicenter studies to better characterize these two entities.

[Retroperitoneal fibrosis at the Ibn Sina University Hospital of Rabat: about 18 cases]

La fibrose rétropéritonéale (FRP) est une pathologie rare caractérisée par la formation d´une plaque fibro-inflammatoire dans l´espace rétropéritonéale en avant de l´aorte abdominale, responsable d´un engainement des uretères. Le tableau clinique n´est pas spécifique et la pathologie est souvent révélée par une uropathie obstructive. Nous avons mené une étude descriptive rétrospective étendue sur 10 ans, de janvier 2006 à décembre 2016, réalisée dans les services d´urologie B et de néphrologie du Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Ibn Sina. Nous avons inclus 18 patients dans l´étude dont 11 hommes et 7 femmes, avec un âge moyen de 51,4 ans ± 11,2. Le diagnostic a été révélé par des douleurs lombaires chez 14 patients. L´insuffisance rénale obstructive était présente chez 15 de nos patients et le diagnostic de FRP a été posé par l´uroscanner. Le bilan étiologique notait des antécédents de néoplasies pour 2 patients, de pathologies inflammatoires pour 2 autres patients et une chirurgie rétropéritonéale chez un patient. On notait l´association de prises médicamenteuses chroniques chez plus de la moitié des patients. Le traitement comportait un double volet: une sonde double J systématique chez tous les patients et un traitement systémique par de la corticothérapie et des immunosuppresseurs selon le profil évolutif. Le traitement par urétérolyse a été réalisé d´emblée chez 3 patients. L´évolution a été favorable avec une nette amélioration de la fonction rénale chez 12 patients. La rechute est survenue chez 2 patients après 2 ans de suivi. L´association de signes généraux à une insuffisance rénale obstructive doit faire évoquer le diagnostic de FRP. La recherche de causes secondaires devrait être systématique, avec un accent particulier à mettre sur le syndrome d´hyper IgG4 et les pathologies néoplasiques.

[Bacteriological correlation of urinary stones and preoperative urine culture: Is there a significant impact on postoperative infectious risk? (Moroccan experience)]

AIM

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the impact of preoperative urine culture and the infected nature of stones on the occurrence of postoperative urinary sepsis.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

A prospective monocentric study included 29 patients operated on for urolithiasis between January and June 2018.

RESULTS

Postoperative urinary sepsis was observed in 4 patients (14%). Urinary colonization rate on preoperative CBU exam was 27.6% (8 of 29) while the rate of colonized stones was 31% (9 of 29). The occurrence of urinary sepsis was observed in 37.5% (3 of 8) of patients with urinary colonization, compared to 44.4% of patients with colonized stones (4 of 9). By comparing the bacteriological results observed during sepsis, the germs isolated in postoperative urine were the same found in the culture of stones. The chemical nature of the colonized stones was mainly calcium oxalate (monohydrate, dihydrate) P=0.02. There was a statistically significant correlation between the preoperative urine culture, the bacteriological culture of stones and the postoperative urinary sepsis (P=0.05, P=0.005) respectively.

CONCLUSION

Our study demonstrated a strong association between the bacteriological culture of stones and postoperative urinary sepsis superior to preoperative urine culture. It makes it possible to anticipate the occurrence of sepsis in patients requiring many endoscopic treatments. However, several multicentric prospective series may prove necessary to validate these results.

Recto-vaginal fistulas: A case series

•

Falandry and Martius’ techniques were used firstly for vesico-vaginal fistulas with satisfying long-term functional results.

•

The same techniques are feasible and safe for rectovaginal fistula repair.

•

In this case series, patients had an improvement of their self-image and health-related quality of life.

•

Temporary colostomy is recommended before this reconstructive surgery.

Introduction

Rectovaginal fistula (RVF) is defined as an abnormal communication between the anterior wall of the rectum and the posterior wall of the vagina. Many surgical techniques have been described in the treatment of RVF. However, none has proved its superiority. The aim of the study was to evaluate the functional results of surgical treatment of RVF using Martius and Falandry techniques in order to assess the feasibility and the efficacy of these techniques which were first described for vesico-vaginal fistulas.

Methods

The study was a retrospective case series conducted in a single centre: Department of general surgery at Ibn Sina University Hospital in Rabat. We included patients with rectovaginal fistula consecutively recruited from 2011 to 2014. 10 patients developed RVF after surgery for rectal cancer (9 cases), uterine cancer (1 case). One patient had RVF for ano-rectal malformation. Colostomy was performed before the treatment of fistula in 9 cases (82 %). They underwent surgical treatment using Falandry (8 patients) and Martius techniques (3 patients) performed by an experienced urologist surgeon.

Results

No postoperative complications were recorded. Time to discharge was postoperative day 3–4. There was a complete disappearance of RVF in 8 patients (72.7 % of cases), relapse in 2 cases (18 %), and failure in one case (9%). The average follow-up was 12.6 +/-10 months. Functionally, no long-term cases of fecal incontinence or dyspareunia were noted.

Conclusion

The choice of surgical technique in the treatment of RVF remains difficult because of poor literature data and absence of consensus. RVF repair results either by Martius or Falandry techniques are encouraging with low morbidity.

[Malignant renal epithelioid angiomyolipoma (EAML): about a rare case]

L’angiomyolipome rénal épithélioïde malin (AREM) est une entité pathologique rare longtemps considérée comme lésion hamartomateuse et dont le diagnostic positif est purement immuno-histochimique, microscopiquement, il se caractérise par des cellules mononuclées épithélioïdes a cytoplasme clair présentant des atypies cytonucléaires sévères, et exprimant les marqueurs musculaires lisses et mélanocytaires (HMB 45). Nous rapportons un cas rare d’AREM diagnostiqué après analyse anatomopathologique d’une tumeur retropéritonéale dont l’origine ne pourrait être précisée préalablement par la tomodensitométrie.

[Favorable evolution after medical treatment in three cases of emphysematous pyelonephritis: about 3 cases]

La pyélonéphrite emphysémateuse est une infection nécrotique du rein caractérisée par la présence de gaz au sein du parenchyme rénal, des cavités excrétrices ou des espaces péri rénaux. Il s'agit d'une forme grave pouvant engager le pronostic vital. La prise en charge reste controversée: entre l'attitude chirurgicale et le traitement purement médical, il existe une place pour le drainage percutané. Nous rapportons 3 cas de PNE traité par des antibiotiques seuls avec une bonne évolution, nous montrons à travers que le traitement médical pourrait suffire.

Penile Gangrene and Necrosis Leading to Death Secondary to Strangulation by Condom Catheter

Condom catheters are widely used in the management of male urinary incontinence, bedridden patients, and geriatric population. They are considered to be safe; however they are associated with serious complications in case of an incorrect use. We report a dramatic case of penile strangulation by condom catheter tardily discovered till occurrence of necrosis and gangrene leading to death in an elderly bedridden and diabetic man. Through this case we emphasize the importance of patient education for the correct use of condom catheters and remind care providers to maintain a high level of sensibility to complication generated from long-term use of condom catheters.

Bilateral kidney matrix stones: a rare case

Kedney matrix stones are a rare form of calculi. Flank pain and urinary tract infections (UTI) are the most common presentations of matrix calculi. The diagnosis is usually made at surgery, but some preoperative radiographic findings might be suggestive. Open surgery was the method of choice for treatment. However, combination of ureterorenoscopy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) was found to be safe and effective. We report a rare case of renal and ureteral matrix stones that were diagnosed and treated by open surgery. We also describe its clinical, radiological and therapeutic features through a review of the literature.

Nous rapportons le cas d’un patient présentant un kyste de la vésicule séminale droite symptomatique. Au terme du bilan (échographie pelvienne et endo-rectale, tomodensitométrie abdomino-pelvienne et l’imagerie par résonance magnétique), le patient était opéré et bénéficiait d’une ablation du kyste. A la lumière de cette observation, l’épidémiologie, le diagnostic et les options thérapeutiques sont discutés.

Fibrose rétropéritonéale: revue de littérature

La fibrose rétropéritonéale (FRP) est une maladie rare, caractérisée par la présence d’un tissu fibro-inflammatoire aberrant qui se forme souvent autour de la portion sous-rénale de l’aorte abdominale et des artères iliaques. Une obstruction urétérale est souvent observée. Récemment, la FPR idiopathique est rapportée parmi les manifestations de la maladie à IgG4. L’imagerie joue un rôle important dans le diagnostic de la FRP. Les glucocorticoïdes sont le traitement de référence, utilisés en monothérapie ou en association avec d’autres agents médicamenteux. En cas d’échec des mesures conservatrices, la chirurgie peut être proposée. Récemment, des techniques minimalement invasives ont été utilisées.

Zinner's syndrome: report of two cases and review of the literature

BACKGROUND

Congenital malformations of the seminal vesicle are uncommon, and most of them are cystic malformations. If an insult occurs between the 4th and the 13 h gestational week, the embryogenesis of the kidney, ureter, seminal vesicle, and vas deferens could be altered. Cysts of the seminal vesicle may appear with a mass effect, dysuria, epididymitis, or obstruction of the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts. Approximately two thirds of them are associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis, because both the ureteral buds and seminal vesicles originate from the mesonephric (Wolffian) duct. They were first described by Zinner in 1914, and 200 cases of seminal vesicle cysts associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis have been reported in the literature. Most patients with this anomaly are asymptomatic until the third or fourth decade of life. Some cases have nonspecific symptoms such as prostatism, urinary urgency, dysuria, painful ejaculation, and perineal discomfort. Transrectal ultrasonography provides good visualization of the pelvic structures and allows guidance for aspiration of the cysts.

CASE PRESENTATION

We present two cases of seminal vesicle cyst. The first patient had dysuria, increased frequency of urination, and haematuria. He was operated and benefited from a removal of the cyst with right ureterectomy and left ureteral reimplantation. The second patient had disorder of the digestive transit and he benefited from a laparoscopic removal of the cyst.

CONCLUSIONS

Seminal vesicle cysts combined with ipsilateral renal agenesis are rare urological anomalies. Usual symptoms that are caused by the seminal vesicle cysts are bladder irritation and obstruction as well as pain in the perineum and scrotum. Epididymitis is frequently found. Treatment consists to removing the seminal vesicle cyst.

Cavernous hemangioma of the bladder: an additional case managed by partial cystectomy and augmentation cystoplasty

Cavernous Hemangioma of the Bladder (CHB) is benign and rare lesions. Clinical presentation has no pathognomonic signs although gross painless hematuria is the most frequent complain. CHB is suspected by cystoscopy and radiologic findings and confirmed by pathologic examinations. Management is controversial due to the bleeding risk of this highly vascularized lesion. Partial cystectomy is the treatment of choice for surgically accessible lesions. However, it appears that small lesions could be treated using transurethral resection. Since CHB is a rare case, we report another case treated successfully with a partial cystectomy associated with an augmentation cystoplasy.

Le syndrome du canal d’Alcock – ou névralgie pudendale – est lié à la compression chronique du nerf pudendal dans la fossette ischio rectale ou au niveau du ligament sacroépineux. Le diagnostic du syndrome d’Alcock est surtout clinique. Les examens complémentaires sont dominés par les explorations électrophysiologiques et le test de bloc anesthésique. Le diagnostic repose sur des critères bien précis, soit les critères de Nantes. La prise en charge doit être globale, comprenant un traitement médicamenteux, des infiltrations, des techniques de neuromodulation, et dans les cas graves ou résistants, un traitement chirurgical qui consiste à libérer le nerf pudendal. Les névralgies pudendales peuvent être rencontrées après traitement d’une incontinence urinaire d’effort par bandelettes sous-urétrales (TVT). Ce syndrome motive des consultations en urologie, car la douleur intéresse le territoire du périnée et des organes génitaux. Des signes urinaires peuvent aussi accompagner cette douleur. Il est donc judicieux de connaître cette pathologie.

Nous présentons l’observation clinique d’un cas rare de pyélonéphrite xanthogranulomateuse (PXG) bilatérale chez un jeune patient âgé de 17 ans. La découverte progressive de l’infection a débuté par l’apparition de lombalgies bilatérales évoluant depuis un mois, sans autre signe associé. L’urotomodensitométrie penchait en faveur de deux masses rénales bilatérales, soit une masse polaire inférieure droite et une masse polaire supérieure gauche, toutes deux de densité tissulaire. Une biopsie écho guidée a suggéré la présence d’une réaction inflammatoire non spécifique. Une néphrectomie partielle polaire inférieure droite a été effectuée devant la forte présomption de tumeurs rénales malignes. Finalement, l’histologie a orienté le diagnostic vers une PXG. Il s’agit, à notre connaissance, du sixième cas de PXG focale bilatérale rapporté dans la littérature. Notre patient a reçu un traitement antibiotique à base de fluoroquinolone pendant un mois. L’évolution clinique s’est avérée bonne, et les lésions visibles à la tomodensitométrie se sont entièrement résorbées au bout d’un mois. Le patient vit toujours après un an et présente une fonction rénale normale.

Mésothéliome paratesticulaire malin : cas clinique et revue de la littérature

Les mésothéliomes sont des tumeurs rares, liées surtout à l’exposition à l’amiante. La localisation dans la tunique vaginale est moins fréquente que les localisations pleurale et péritonéale. Nous faisons état du cas clinique d’un jeune patient de 30 ans qui présentait une masse testiculaire gauche avec lésion tissulaire intratesticulaire visible à l’échographie. Il a subi une orchidectomie ; l’examen anatomopathologique de la pièce opératoire orientait le diagnostic en faveur d’un mésothéliome malin de la tunique vaginale. Une hémiscrotectomie a été réalisée par la suite, et le bilan d’extension n’a pas révélé de lésion secondaire. L’évolution s’est avérée favorable moyennant un recul de quatre ans. À travers ce cas clinique et par l’entremise d’une revue de littérature, nous analysons les aspects épidémiologiques, diagnostiques et thérapeutiques de cette pathologie rare.

[Para testicular lipoma: about a rare case]

Les tumeurs para testiculaires sont des tumeurs rares et complexes qui ont une symptomatologie insidieuse et pauvre. Les formes bénignes représentent 70%. Le lipome para testiculaire étant le type le plus fréquent. L'examen clinique est peu spécifique. L'examen échographique est la pierre angulaire pour assoir le diagnostic. Le traitement chirurgical s'impose en cas de tumeur symptomatique, l'histologie étant habituellement typique permet la confirmation diagnostique. Le pronostic est bon malgré d’éventuelles récidives.

Partial substitution of the ureter using a double short segments of the ileum following the Monti procedure

The partial substitution of the ureter using a pediculated double short segments of the ileum is a technique used to re-establish ureteral transit and preserve the renal unit, following the resection of extensive ureteral lesions. Standard surgical procedure for an ileoureteroplasty consists of isolating an ileal duct of equal or greater length than the ureteral defect and interposing it in the urinary tract in an isoperistaltic direction. Monti described a surgical technique that allows for the creation of catheterizable stomas in continent urinary diversions, using the Mitrofanoff principle. These passageways were created from one or several 2.5 cm long ileal sections by means of their detubulization and transverse retubulization.

Les tumeurs de vessie constituent les tumeurs les plus fréquentes de l'appareil uro-génital chez l'homme, le type histologique est dominé par le carcinome urothéliale, la localisation primitive du lymphome malin est extrêmement rare et constitue souvent une surprise diagnostique quand elle est retrouvée. Nous rapportons à travers cette observation le cas d'un patient pris en charge au sein de notre formation qui a bénéficié, suite a un bilan d'hématurie objectivant une formation bourgeonnante intra vésicale a l’échographie abdominale, d'une résection transurétrale de la vessie d'un polype géant dont les résultats anapathologies sont revenus en faveur d'un lymphome primitif de la vessie, le patient a bénéficié d'une chimiothérapie adjuvante a base de RCHOP, les suites étaient simples et une surveillance cystoscopique et scannographique n'a pas objectivé de récidive avec un recul de 18 mois. Le lymphome primitif de la vessie est une entité rare, sa chimio sensibilité fait de ce type de tumeur une maladie curable, le diagnostic est histologique et vu la rareté de l'affection aucun consensus n'est standardisé.

[Diverticulum of the female urethra: about 18 cases]

Le diverticule de l'urètre ou poche sous urétrale est une affection rare, d’étiopathogénie non clairement établie, le diagnostique est clinique confirmé par l'urétrocystographie et le traitement est principalement chirurgicale consistant en une diverticulectomie par voie transvaginale. Nous rapportons l'expérience de notre service dans la prise en charge de cette affection en présentons une étude rétrospective sur une durée de 14 ans (entre 2000 et 2014) où on a pris en charge 18 patientes qui présentait un diverticule de l'urètre, l’âge moyen était de 36 ans, une symptomatologie urinaire ramenait les patientes à consulter où le diagnostic de DU a été posé par examen clinique confirmé en précisant ses caractéristiques en urétrocystographie, la prise en charge était chirurgicale et consistait en une diverticulectomie par voie transvaginale. Les suites post-opératoire était simples, la sonde vésicale retirée en moyenne 5,8 jours après l'intervention, on n'a noté aucune complication chez toute nos patientes, hormis un cas de récidives repris. Devant des troubles mictionnels récidivants de la femme, il est indispensable de rechercher un diverticule uréthral à l'examen clinique. La diverticulectomie transvaginale est l'intervention de choix offrant les meilleurs résultats.

[Angiomyolipoma of the kidney: about eight cases]

L'angiomyolipome est la tumeur bénigne la plus fréquente des masses dolides du rein, elle représente un cadre de fréquence de 1 à 3% des tumeurs du rein, sa composition histologique est faite de trois contingents: graisseux, fibres musculaires lisses et vasculaires a des proportions variables, elle sévit sur un cadre sporadique et peut s'exprimer dans un cadre congénitale comme manifestation de la sclérose tubéreuse de Bourneville. Nous rapportons l'expérience du service d'Urologie B du CHU IBN Sina de Rabat dans la prise en charge de huit cas d'angiomyolipome sur une période s’étalant sur six ans en précisant les manifestations cliniques, données de l'imagerie, le résultat histologique et la conduite thérapeutique. Les manifestations cliniques ne lui sont pas spécifiques, elle peut se manifester par des lombalgies, crise de colique néphritiques, hématurie, masse palpable dans le flanc. La TDM reste l'examen radiologique le plus sensible en mettant en évidence la présence de graisse au sein de la masse, l'histologie confirme le diagnostic et il n'y a aucun consensus qui régit la prise en charge de ce type de tumeur, on peut admettre une surveillance pour les petites masses de moins de 4 cm et traité les formes symptomatiques ou qui dépasse les 4 cm par embolisation ou chirurgie partielle ou totale. Les nouvelles thérapeutiques focales peuvent révolutionner la prise en charge de ce type de tumeur bénigne, mais les études sont toujours en cours.

Tumeur du sac vitellin du testicule au stade IIIc métastatique : à propos d’un cas

Les tumeurs du sac vitellin du testicule sont rares chez l’adulte. Ces tumeurs se caractérisent par un mauvais pronostic à un stade métastatique avancé. Cependant, nous rapportons, dans le présent article, le cas clinique d’un adulte de 32 ans qui présentait une tumeur du sac vitellin du testicule au stade IIIc métastatique. Ce patient a subi une orchidectomie haute, accompagnée de quatre cycles de chimiothérapie à base de bléomycine, d’étoposide et de cisplatine. Il a répondu complètement au traitement, moyennant un recul de deux ans.

Rhabdomyosarcome paratesticulaire (RMSP) multimétastatique: à propos d’un cas

Nous rapportons, dans le présent article, le cas clinique d’un RMSP découvert à un stade tardif chez un adolescent, dans le but de confirmer l’évolution fatale de cette pathologie au potentiel métastatique « affreux ». Nous discutons aussi les causes du retard diagnostique, l’implication du sous-type histologique comme facteur pronostique et la place de la chimiothérapie dans le traitement des formes évoluées de la maladie.
