We report the case of a 58-year-old man with a multilocular prostatic cystadenoma in the retrovesical space that mimicked a pelvic cavity tumor. Multilocular prostatic cystadenoma is a rare form of benign prostatic hyperplasia that originates from the prostate with extensive spread into the pelvis. Histologically, the tumor consisted of glands and cysts lined by prostatic-type epithelium lying in a hypocellular fibrous stroma. For a cystic tumor adjacent to the urinary tract, ectopic prostatic cystadenoma is needed to be considered in the differential diagnosis of pelvic cavity tumors.
impressive. Severe side effects due to the ubiquitous presence of purinergic receptors will limit the use of P2X1 antagonists. However, since more and more attention is drawn on the afferent limb of the micturition reflex as the predominant cause for LUTS, further investigation of the changes of P2X2 or P2X3 receptor gene expression may be worthwhile.

Renal cell carcinomas can metastasize to almost any organ. Metachronous solitary contralateral adrenal metastasis from renal cell carcinoma is, however, very rare. Surgical resection is appropriate in isolated metastatic renal cell carcinoma, but the metastasectomy in the case of contralateral adrenal metastasis of renal cell carcinoma has not been well defined. Herein, we report a case of renal cell carcinoma with solitary metachronous contralateral adrenal metastasis occurring 4 years after curative laparoscopic radical nephrectomy. The patient was treated with retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
