Abstract

Introduction: Well-differentiated papillary mesothelioma (WDPM) is a very rare neoplasm. Most of WDPM are asymptomatic and are often incidentally detected during surgery. This report describes a case of WDPM of the peritoneum unexpectedly diagnosed in a male with a spontaneous intraperitoneal bladder rupture. Case presentation: A 65-year-old male presented to our Emergency Department in November 2019 with a two-day history of anuria, abdominal pain, distention, and sepsis. The CT scan reported a large amount of extra and intraperitoneal free fluid. The CT cystogram showed bladder perforations on the dome and on the left lateral wall which was repaired through exploratory laparotomy. Intraoperatively, we encountered extensive suppurative peritonitis with large fibrino-purulent exudation. The purulent perivesical peritoneum was dissected and sent for histopathological examination which unexpectedly resulted in WDPM of the peritoneum. Conclusion: Although we can’t affirm with certainty, this case would seem to suggest that WDPM had played a role in patient’s clinical presentation. However, further research is necessary to draw stronger conclusion.

Abstract

Testicular cancer, in particular testicular germ cell tumours, is the most common malignancy in young adult men. Defining prognosis and the best therapeutic strategy is challenging since accurate staging could be controversial. We report an unusual case of seminoma with pagetoid spread into the rete testis and, unexpectedly, also within the epithelium of the vas deferens, up to the margin of excision of the spermatic cord. Focussing on the extremely rare pathological finding and the challenge in defining the stage and the best post-surgical management, we would like to raise some issues about the knowledge gap on this topic.

Abstract

Background The National Research Council (CNR) prostate cancer monitoring project in Italy (Pros-IT CNR) is an observational, prospective, ongoing, multicentre study aiming to monitor a sample of Italian males diagnosed as new cases of prostate cancer. The present study aims to present data on the quality of life at time prostate cancer is diagnosed. Methods One thousand seven hundred five patients were enrolled. Quality of life is evaluated at the time cancer was diagnosed and at subsequent assessments via the Italian version of the University of California Los Angeles-Prostate Cancer Index (UCLA-PCI) and the Short Form Health Survey (SF-12). Results At diagnosis, lower scores on the physical component of the SF-12 were associated to older ages, obesity and the presence of 3+ moderate/severe comorbidities. Lower scores on the mental component were associated to younger ages, the presence of 3+ moderate/severe comorbidities and a T-score higher than one. Urinary and bowel functions according to UCLA-PCI were generally good. Almost 5% of the sample reported using at least one safety pad daily to control urinary loss; less than 3% reported moderate/severe problems attributable to bowel functions, and sexual function was a moderate/severe problem for 26.7%. Diabetes, 3+ moderate/severe comorbidities, T2 or T3-T4 categories and a Gleason score of eight or more were significantly associated with lower sexual function scores at diagnosis. Conclusions Data collected by the Pros-IT CNR study have clarified the baseline status of newly diagnosed prostate cancer patients. A comprehensive assessment of quality of life will allow to objectively evaluate outcomes of different profile of care.

Abstract

Introduction: Malacoplakia is a rare chronic inflammatory disease that most commonly involves the genitourinary tract with a wide spectrum of clinical presentation. Case description: A 65-year-old woman presented with obstructive nephropathy with bilateral hydroureteronephrosis. Bilateral nephrostomy-tube placement saw an improvement in her renal function. A computerized tomography (CT) scan with contrast showed suspect lesions in the bladder, which were confirmed by cystoscopy. A transurethral resection of the suspect areas of bladder on histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of malacoplakia. Bilateral ureteral recanalization was performed with placement of ureteral stents, after balloon dilation of strictures. The treatment was continued with ascorbic acid 500 mg daily and ciprofloxacin 500 mg once daily. Conclusions: Malacoplakia is a rare disease. Treatment is not standard and depends on the disease location. Malacoplakia that is isolated to the lower genitourinary tract, after a transurethral resection indicating to obtain a biopsy and debulking, can typically be treated with medication, whereas upper tract disease commonly requires a combination of medical and surgical intervention.

Abstract

We present our results in terms of feasibility, safety and efficacy of flexible pneumocystoscopy during double J stenting in patients undergoing laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP). The patient is placed on the flank at a 45 degrees angle. Laparoscopic pyeloplasty according to the Anderson-Hynes technique is carried out by transperitoneal access. After completing the running suture of the posterior wall of the uretero-pyelic anastomosis, the double J stent is placed in a retrograde manner with a pneumocystoscopy using flexible cystoscope. Thirty-six patients were prospectively evaluated; 28 of these were treated with standard LP and 8 with robot-assisted LP. Mean operative time was 124 min, whereas double J stenting time was 4.2 min (2-6). We observed one case of cranial migration of the stent, forcing us to repeat the procedure, which was completed without complications. No ancillary procedures or X-ray control were necessary. Retrograde double J stenting using flexible pneumocystoscopy during laparoscopic and robot assisted pyeloplasty is feasible, easy, safe and effective. The procedure can be completed without changing the patient's position and without the use of X-ray.
