Solitary fibrous tumor (SFTs), initially described in the 1930s, are a group of rare heterogeneous tumors primarily located in the pleural area but can manifest in any site.This article focuses on the case of a patient with a localized retroperitoneal pubic tumor treated surgically, which demonstrates on one hand the heterogeneity of clinical manifestations, the limited diagnostic contribution of imaging, and on the other hand the histological diagnostic difficulty despite the recent contribution of immunohistochemistry. Management remains primarily surgical, to the detriment of other alternatives that have not yet shown encouraging results., Competing Interests: The authors have no conflict of interest to declare., (© 2025 The Authors.)

Prostatic condyloma acuminata is a rarely encountered clinical manifestation primarily linked to low-risk subtypes of human papillomavirus (HPV), such as HPV-6 and HPV-11. Unlike the more common anogenital presentation, prostatic condyloma acuminata remains an infrequent phenomenon, necessitating a nuanced approach to diagnosis and management. We present a case report involving a 68-year-old patient with an intricate medical history, where the discovery of prostatic condyloma acuminata presented diagnostic challenges and clinical intricacies., Competing Interests: The authors declare that there are no conflicts of interest regarding the publication of this article., (© 2024 The Authors.)

Keratinizing squamous metaplasia of the renal pelvis is a rare lesion of the upper urinary tract that can occur in the context of chronic aggression to the urothelium, potentially leading to a secondary pyeloureteral junction syndrome. We report the case of a 43-year-old patient discovered intraoperatively in relation to a renal pelvis stone causing a pyeloureteral junction syndrome. The extemporaneous histological examination ruled out a malignant process, and we performed a pyeloplasty according to KUSS-ANDERSON technique. This pathology should be recognized by the urologist for appropriate management. Treatment is conservative, with extended follow-up to detect recurrences or carcinomatous degenerations., Competing Interests: The authors declare that there are no conflicts of interest regarding the publication of this article., (© 2023 Published by Elsevier Inc.)

This is a case report about a patient presenting with a urachal mass mimicking a urachus adenocarcinoma. Cystoscopy showed a vesicourachal patent diverticulum. Histological findings after the removal of the umbilicus, urachus, urachal tumor, as well as a bladder cuff, consisted of a nonspecific polymorphous suppurative inflammatory infiltrate. Urachal adenocarcinoma is an aggressive tumor with poor prognosis if not treated while it is still localized. Surgical excision is the only recommended treatment that offers the best chances of survival. As no preoperative procedure has been proven accurate enough to rule out the diagnosis of adenocarcinoma, surgery appears to be inevitable., Competing Interests: The authors declare that there are no conflicts of interest regarding the publication of this article., (© 2023 The Authors.

With about 110 cases reported in literature, juxtaglomerular cell tumors are rare. We report a 25 years old patient who was admitted in neurology for a hemorrhagic stroke secondary to a cerebral aneurysm rupture due to high blood pressure. Etiological investigations showed a solid mass of the left kidney. A radical nephrectomy was realized and pathological examination and immunohistochemical profile concluded to juxtaglomerular cell tumor. The originality of this observation is based on the mode of presentation of a rare renal tumor by a malignant high blood pressure., Competing Interests: The authors declare that they have no competing interests., (© 2023 Published by Elsevier Inc.)

Prostate cancer (PCa) in the second most common cancer in men worldwide. It commonly metastasizes to the bone, lymph nodes, liver and lungs. Synchronous or metachronous testicular metastasis is a rare finding, generally diagnosed incidentally after bilateral orchidectomy for hormonal management in patients with advanced PCa, or at autopsy. We report a case of a 55-year-old male, presenting a PCa and who developed a single testicular metastasis treated by radical orchidectomy, while he was under hormonotherapy., (©2023PublishedbyElsevierInc.)

This is a case report about a patient which presents with two right renal tumors, one of them being an oncocytoma with typical histopathological features and renal vein extension. Recent studies show that despite renal vein thrombus being a histological sign of malignancy; when associated with renal oncocytoma, it should not alter the benign prognosis of oncocytoma, and a simple follow-up may be carried. Further explorations should be done when easily available, and when the histopathologic diagnosis of oncocytoma is uncertain, to rule out the differential diagnosis of a chromophobe renal cell carcinoma, oncocytic variant., Competing Interests: The authors declare that there are no conflicts of interest regarding the publication of this article., (© 2023 The Authors.)

Paratesticular leiomyoma is an extremely rare benign tumour. It is often asymptomatic. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish leiomyomas from malignant testicular tumours, which leads to radical orchidectomy, despite its benign nature. Magnetic resonance imaging can be helpful to make conservative management of this lesion., (© 2023 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc.)

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., Competing Interests: The authors declare that there are no conflicts of interest regarding the publication of this article., (© 2023 The Authors.)

Upper tract urothelial carcinoma presents 5% of urothelial cancers. The most frequent revealing symptom gross haematuria. Vaginal metastasis is rare revealing condition. The combination on these two symptoms should recall the diagnosis of this neoplasm. Biopsy of the vaginal mass can make the histologic diagnosis easily., (© 2022 Published by Elsevier Inc.)

Segmental testicular infarction(STI) is a rare unknown condition. Clinical presentation is non-specific and management is unconsensual. We report clinical and surgical management of a segmental testicular infarction. A 18-years old adult presented to emergency with acute right testicular pain. The only triggering factor was a stressful situation. Examination revealed a slightly swollen, non-ascending testicle with no inflammatory signs. We suspected spermatic -cord torsion(SCT), we decided to explore it surgically. Exploration showed a well-demarcated infarcted inferior pole of right testicle. Partial orchiectomy was performed. STI is a rare entity often clinically confused with SCT. Diagnosis is based on intraoperative findings., Competing Interests: The authors declare that there are no conflicts of interest regarding the publication of this article., (© 2022 The Authors.)

Ejaculatory duct reflux is rare and few investigations have focused on this entity, which is usually described in children. This study reports a new case of unilateral ejaculatory reflux in a 32-year-old patient, with a history of urethroplasty at the age of 5 for hypospadias, who presented for right chronic scrotal swelling. Urethrocystscopy showed an anterior urethral stricture and a gaping opening of the right ejaculatory duct. CT scan with opacification through the right ejaculatory duct, showed a dilated right seminal vesicle, associated to a reflux in the right deferent vas and epididymis, which was dilated explaining the scrotal swelling., Competing Interests: The authors declare that there are no conflicts of interest regarding the publication of this article., (© 2022 Published by Elsevier Inc.)

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare spindle cell neoplasm, originally described in the pleural cavity. It may also occur in extrapleural organs like adrenal gland. We present a case of a fifty two-year old Arab man who has been admitted in urology department for right lumbar pain. A suspect malignant adrenal mass has been detected. He underwent right adrenalectomy and histologically it was SFT. The follow-up three years after surgery is unremarkable. The prognosis of SFT after surgery is unpredictable. A long term follow-up is mandatory to detect local recurrence or distant metastasis., (© 2019 Published by Elsevier Inc.)

Cystic lymphangioma is a rare benign tumor developing from lymphatic endothelial cells, and is usually described in the neck or axilla. We report a new case of an adrenal cystic lymphangioma fortuitously found in a 37-year-old patient. This case report and review of the literature bring new insights into the diagnostic difficulty and management of cystic lymphangioma of the adrenal gland.

A 74-year-old man presented with right flank pain and a palpable mass in the left flank. Blood pressure was normal. Contrastenhanced computed tomography (CT) showed a 17 × 16 × 12 cm retroperitoneal mass over the left kidney, solid and heterogeneous. There were also 3 retro aortic lymph nodes and bilateral renal lithiasis. Twenty four-hour urinary metanephrines and normetanephrines were normal. The patient underwent a resection of the mass with left adrenalectomy by a lumbar incision. Histological findings revealed an adrenal oncocytic neoplasm (AON) with uncertain malignant potential. Six months after surgery, CT control showed neither local nor distant recurrence.
