Penile strangulation caused by wearing metallic or non-metallic objects is unusual but potentially serious. We report the case of a 33-year-old man who presented with penile strangulation after applying a self-circumcision device. The device was removed, and after conservative treatment conventional circumcision was performed. It is stressed that circumcision should be performed by urologists or medically trained personnel.
Subepithelial hematoma of the renal pelvis (Antopol-Goldman lesion) is an extremely rare lesion. We report on a 55-year-old woman who presented with gross hematuria. It was incorrectly diagnosed as renal pelvic cancer and left radical nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff resection was performed. With awareness and high suspicion of Antopol-Goldman lesion in the radiographic differential diagnosis of a renal pelvic mass, this lesion can be treated conservatively or with partial nephrectomy.
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.
