ABSTRACT

La variete de corps etrangers introduits dans l'appareil genito- urinaire defie l'imagination et peut confronter l'urologue aux difficultes de leur extraction. Si leur presence releve souvent d'une pratique douteuse d'origine psychiatrique; il faut noter la possibilite d'une migration a partir des espaces perivesicaux lors d'une chirurgie de voisinage ainsi qu'une introduction accidentelle durant une intervention transvesicale. Les symptomes du bas appareil urinaire; non specifiques; sont les circonstances fortuites de decouverte de corps etrangers intravesicaux. Bien que le pronostic vital ne soit pas engage; l'extraction chirurgicale ou endoscopique s'avere necessaire du fait de l'inflammation severe associee aux dommages vesicaux secondaires a ce corps etranger.Nous rapportons le cas d'un jeune patient admis aux urgences chez qui on trouve une broche d'osteosynthese compliquee d'une lithiase situee dans la vessie

ABSTRACT

Objectif : Rapporter les particularites epidemiologiques; anatomo-cliniques; pronostiques et therapeutiques de l'atteinte genitale masculine de la tuberculose avec revue de la litterature. Patients et methodes : Il s'agit d'une etude retrospective portant sur 22 cas de lesions genitales de tuberculose confirmees. Le diagnostic a ete pose sur un faisceau d'arguments cliniques; bacteriologiques; radiologiques et histologiques. Un traitement anti-tuberculeuse a ete instauree systematiquement. La surveillance a ete clinique; biologique et radiologique. Resultats: Les motifs de consultation ont ete par ordre de frequence decroissant : l'epididymite chronique (11 cas); une fistule scrotale (6 cas); une hydrocele (6 cas); une retention d'urine (3 cas) et une sterilite (1 cas). L'examen clinique a retrouve un nodule epididymaire dans 11 cas et une hydrocele dans 10 cas. Une leucocyturie sans germe a ete retrouvee dans un cas. L'echographie scrotale realisee a mis en evidence des lesions epididymaires dans 8 cas. Le diagnostic de certitude a ete pose sur l'examen anatomopathologique des pieces operatoires (13 cas); de fragments biopsiques (8 cas); et par la decouverte du bacille de Koch dans les urines (1 cas). L'urographie intraveineuse realisee systematiquement a retrouve des lesions urinaires associees dans 5 cas. L'evolution a ete favorable dans tous les cas.Conclusion: L'atteinte tuberculeuse isolee des organes genitaux masculins est de diagnostic difficile en dehors d'un contexte endemique tuberculeux. Une etiologie tuberculeuse doit etre suspectee devant toute orchiepidydimite trainante; particulierement sur terrain debilite ou devant une notion d'hypofertilite. Le traitement medical reste efficace en cas de diagnostic precoce; alors que la chirurgie est reservee aux cas resistants ou compliques

ABSTRACT

Objective: We report six cases of primitive cancer of the urethra out of a total of 1109 cases of urologic cancers hospitalized during a period of 12 years. Patients and Methods: From 1990 to 2001 six patients (four males; two females) were hospitalized for cancer of the urethra. The tumors were analyzed according to the classification of Grabstald. All the patients were explored by retrograde urethrocystography showing an irregular image of the urethra and at times opacifying the sinus ways. Urethrocystoscopy showed the site of the tumor and its aspect and allowed for diagnostic biopsies. In five cases it revealed an epidermoid cancer and an adenocarcinoma in one case. The treatment used depended on the stage of the disease and the general condition of the patients. Two patients underwent radical pelvectomy without any adjuvant treatment. Two patients with disseminated disease received palliative treatment by radiotherapy. The two remaining patients having refused surgical treatment were also treated by radiotherapy alone. Results: Overall; the average rate of survival was 17.5 months (3 to 60 months). The best results were achieved with surgical treatment. Two of the patients referred to the oncologist for palliative radiotherapy died within 3 and 6 months; respectively. One patient treated by radiotherapy alone after having refused surgical treatment presented 6 months later with a long post-radiation stenosis of the urethra. Since the patient still refused surgical treatment; he was treated by final cystostomy. The last patient also treated by exclusive radiotherapy is being followed up by the radiologists. Conclusion: Primitive cancer of the urethra is rare. Its semiology is not very specific which explains the frequently delayed diagnosis. It is the meticulous examination of the urethra which allows the diagnosis. The treatment of choice is surgery and/or radiotherapy
