This is a case report about a 44-year-old woman who sustained multiple stab wounds, resulting in an isolated right ureteral injury. Despite a precise diagnosis from an urgent CT scan showing contrast material extravasation, the patient's stable vital signs allowed for a thorough surgical exploration, leading to an accurate diagnosis. Immediate surgical repair of the right ureter using an end-to-end anastomosis following precise surgical principles achieved complete restoration of the initial injuries. The case highlights the accuracy of CT scan assessment, the unreliability of hematuria in diagnosing ureteral injuries, and the need for a high index of suspicion during surgical exploration to avoid overlooking such cases.

Air rifle, although considered as a toy, can cause injuries ranging from trivial to very grievous. The severity of injuries depends on the type of air rifle, the distance of firing, and the anatomic site at which the bullet hits. We present a case involving a young boy, who was accidently hit by an air rifle while playing. The Bullet penetrated the penis through the glans to be lodged in between the distal extremities of the corpus cavernosum behind the urethra. The surgical treatment was performed and the results were good.

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most important infectious diseases, particularly in the world. Amongst the genitourinary organs, prostatic TB is less common. We report an 68 year old patient, immunocompetent who presented obstructive and irritative symptoms of the lower urinary tract. A history of pulmonary tuberculosis was not present. The digital rectal examination was suspicious and PSA was a normal. The biopsy results did not reveal any malignant lesions but the transurethral resection of the prostate performed for voiding purposes showed prostatic tuberculosis. A very good clinical and biological improvement was observed after chemotherapy anti-tuberculosis.

Scrotal calcinosis is a rare benign pathology and its etiology is still discussed. The main complaint is mostly aesthetic. The treatment of extended forms is a one-staged excision. The aim of our study was to study clinical and anatomopathological aspects and report our surgical management of a case of diffuse scrotal calcinosis.We report a case of 24-year-old patient who consulted for painless scrotal nodules lasting for 2 years. Scrotal calcinosis diagnostic was based on clinical examination. The treatment was a one-staged scrotal excision taking all nodules and the plasty of the scrotum. The diagnosis was confirmed by a histopathological examination of surgical specimen.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the prostate is rare and represents 0.5% to 1% of prostatic carcinomas. Transformation of prostatic adenocarcinoma into squamous cell carcinoma after LH-RH agonist intake has been reported in only 8 cases in the literature. To our knowledge, our case is the second pure squamous cell carcinoma observed after hormonotherapy and radiotherapy. We reported a case of a patient with prostatic adenocarcinoma treated by radical prostatectomy followed by radiotherapy. Eleven years later, he had a vesical recurrence of prostatic adenocarcinoma. Our patient had an endoscopic resection followed by injections of Triptorelin. Six months later, he developed a local recurrence of a squamous cell carcinoma.

Paraganglioma is a rare neuroendocrine tumor that arises from the autonomic nervous system. The urinary bladder paraganglioma accounts for less than 0.1% of bladder tumors. It remains a challenging entity to diagnose and treat due to its rareness and the lack of specific symptoms. Treatment modalities include transurethral resection and cystectomy (partial or total). The authors report a new case of an isolated paraganglioma of the urinary bladder in a 52-year-old female patient that underwent partial cystectomy. This case aims to remind the clinical, histological and therapeutic features of this rare tumor.
