The double-J ureteral stent is a standard procedure in daily urological practice. Although considered as safe, this approach is fraught with several complications. These complications are of limited severity and resolve with symptomatic treatment. In some cases, serious and life-threatening complications, such as infection and subcapsular hematoma, can occur. In the literature, a few cases of subcapsular renal hematoma secondary to ureteral stent insertion have been reported. Herein, we report a case of renal subcapsular hematoma combined with hemorrhagic shock in a 67-year-old patient who had a ureteral stent insertion one month ago., (Published by Oxford University Press and JSCR Publishing Ltd. © The Author(s) 2022.)

Myelolipoma is a rare, benign, non-secreting tumor and its pathophysiology is of metaplasia of the cells of the adrenal cortex into reticuloendothelial cells. Although they are often small and asymptomatic, some cases of giant adrenal myelolipoma cause symptoms such as chronic pain. Few cases of adrenal myelolipoma have been reported in the literature. We present a case of a large right adrenal myelolipoma in a 26-year-old female patient, who presented with an adrenal mass, and discuss the challenges of diagnosis and treatment., (Published by Oxford University Press and JSCR Publishing Ltd. © The Author(s) 2022.)

Bladder lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma is a rare entity. It represents a particular variant of urothelial carcinoma characterized by an important infiltrating power. Therapeutic management of this cancer is not codified. Surgery associated with chemotherapy seems to be the best therapeutic option. Few cases of this tumor have been reported in the literature. We report a case of bladder lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma in a 52-year-old patient who presented with gross hematuria and discusses difficulties of diagnostic and treatment., (Published by Oxford University Press and JSCR Publishing Ltd. © The Author(s) 2022.)

Carcinosarcoma is a distinct neoplasm consisting of bidirectional differentiation toward epithelial and mesenchymal cells. Bladder localization is rare and the association with a rahbdomyoblastic component is exceptional. Few cases of bladder carcinosarcoma with rhabdomyoblastic differentiation have been reported in the literature. We present a case of a bladder carcinosarcoma in a 68-year-old man who presented with terminal hematuria and discuss difficulties of diagnostic and treatment., (Published by Oxford University Press and JSCR Publishing Ltd. © The Author(s) 2022.)

Adenocarcinoma of prostate is the most common primary prostatic malignancy in the world. Isolated prostate tuberculosis is an uncommon type of tuberculosis. Concomitant occurrence of both conditions is extremely rare. We report two cases of adenocarcinoma and tuberculosis of the prostate. The patients were 83 and 74 years old, respectively. They presented obstructive and irritative symptoms of the lower urinary tract. The prostatic finding and prostate-specific antigen were abnormals. The diagnosis of prostatic tuberculosis and adenocarcinoma was made by histologic analysis after transurethral resection of prostate. The treatment is based on chemotherapy anti-tuberculosis and hormonotherapy. Tuberculosis and malignancy may co-exist in some cases and clinicians must have a high index of suspicion for tuberculosis, especially in patients from endemic areas, in order to initiate early and proper treatment., (Published by Oxford University Press and JSCR Publishing Ltd.

Inguinal hernia is a common disorder that requires urgent and adequate surgical management. Multiple organs may be associated with inguinal hernias, but bladder involvement is rarely seen. The diagnosis is frequently done during surgery. It can be evoked before surgery when the patient presents with irritative and obstructive lower urinary tract symptoms. Retrograde urethrocystography or intravenous urography confirms the diagnosis. We report a case of inguinal hernia involving the bladder at the right side with a 72-year-old man. We performed a hernia repair after reintegration of the bladder., (Published by Oxford University Press and JSCR Publishing Ltd. All rights reserved. © The Author(s) 2021.)

Human hydatid disease is still endemic in pastoral and rangeland areas, with temperate climate, mainly in the southern shore of the Mediterranean, particularly in the Maghreb countries. Renal localization is rare although it is the most frequent site of the urinary tract. Its clinical evolution remains silent for long time, and the diagnosis is often elusive for years. Renal hydatid cysts may pose a problem of differential diagnosis. Our case concerns a renal hydatidosis misdiagnosed as a xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis, treated by total nephrectomy., (Published by Oxford University Press and JSCR Publishing Ltd.
