Primary renal lymphangioma is exceedingly rare. Medical imaging has certain limits for the diagnosis which required histological confirmation. The treatment of choice is surgical.
Angiosarcoma is a rare malignant tumour occurring in less than 2% of soft tissue sarcomas. Angiosarcoma involving the kidney usually represents metastasis from skin or visceral primary lesions, while angiosarcoma primarily occurring in the kidney is a very rare neoplasm. We report a case of angiosarcoma of the right kidney in a 59-year-old male. The computed tomography scan showed a solid tumour with a low increased density after administration of contrast medium. Histological examination of the piece of nephrectomy confirmed the diagnosis
A 52-year-old man with a history of right nephrectomy for a nonfunctioning kidney, consults after 22 years for fever with right lower abdominal pain. Surgical exploration was thereafter performed and the right ureteral stump was removed en bloc. Pathological examination of the right ureterectomy specimen revealed a significant acute and chronic ureteritis due to stone without any signs of malignancy. Owing to the low incidence of complications associated with ureteral stump, we suggest that if ureteral remnant becomes symptomatic, a distal ureterectomy should be performed without any delay avoiding subsequent complications of the stump.
Giant adrenal cysts represent rare clinical entities that are usually discovered incidentally. Here, we describe a patient who presented with nonspecific upper abdominal left pain. Imaging studies revealed a huge left adrenal cyst. Routine laboratory tests and endocrine function tests were all normal. The patient underwent surgery, and the cyst was completely removed with total adrenalectomy. Histological examination revealed a benign epithelial adrenal cyst.The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient had no evidence of recurrence during a 3-year follow-up. We discuss the diagnosis and management of adrenal cysts.
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.
