Nephroblastoma is the most frequent renal tumor in childhood population. Rarely, it can occur in adults. In this case, the diagnosis is frequently challenging for pathologists. No standard guidelines are available for this neoplasm in adults. It needs multidisciplinary collaboration for optimal management. Herein we report a 26-year-old man presenting with a non-metastatic right nephroblastoma. He underwent a radical nephrectomy.

Intra-abdominal testicular tumors are characterized by their rarity and insidious progression. They are often revealed in adulthood in the form of a pelvic mass. This study reports a new case of an intra-abdominal seminoma in a 57-year-old patient which presented with isolated left flank pain, which is an unusual symptom. CT scan revealed a large pelvic mass along with a second retroperitoneal mass that was responsible for left hydronephrosis. Surgical excision of the pelvic mass was performed and the diagnosis of seminoma was confirmed by histopathology., (© 2022 Published by Elsevier Inc.)

Renal abscess is a medical and surgical urological emergency whose diagnosis has been improved by modern imaging. It often poses a problem of therapeutic management between antibiotic therapy or the association of a drainage. Most abscesses are unilateral, the bilateral nature of the abscessed lesions suggests a hematogenous diffusion. We report a case of a bilateral renal abscess fusing to the psoas muscle on the right that progressed well with antibiotic treatment and percutaneous drainage., Competing Interests: The authors declare that there are no conflicts of interest regarding the publication of this article., (© 2021 The Authors.)

Because of an increased hypercoagulable state, a significant proportion of COVID-19 patients develop various and extensive venous thromboembolic complications. We report the case of a young patient with a history of pneumopathy related to COVID-19 disease, in whom the diagnosis of thrombosis of a pampiniform plexus vein was made on color doppler ultrasound data. We adopted a conservative treatment with good clinical and radiological evolution. To our knowledge, this is the second association of venous thrombosis of the pampiniform plexus with COVID-19 disease., Competing Interests: The authors declare that there are no conflicts of interest regarding the publication of this article., (© 2021 Published by Elsevier Inc.)
