ABSTRACT
Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare aggressive malignancy. ACC with renal vein or inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombus is very rare. ACC with contralateral renal metastasis with renal vein thrombus has never been reported. Here we report first such case in the literature where a 40-year-old male presented with right flank pain and weight loss. Definitive reoperative diagnosis failed to be established. Intraoperatively, there was right adrenal mass with left renal vein thrombus invading its wall and extending upto IVC. Right adrenalectomy with left radical nephrectomy with thrombectomy was done. On cut specimen, there was a small mass lesion in the left kidney (upper pole). The diagnosis of ACC with left renal metastasis and renal vein tumor thrombus was confirmed by pathological and immune-histochemical examination. We faced various perioperative challenges in our case. Care must be taken in preoperative diagnostics, intraoperative planning, and postoperative management as ACC may present with contralateral renal metastasis and tumor thrombus.
ABSTRACT
Prostatic utricle is a Mullerian duct remnant with an incidence of 1 %. Excision of utricle is challenging because of the close proximity of seminal vesicle, ejaculatory ducts, bladder, rectum, ureter, and nerve plexus. Here, we report the case of a 23-year-old male presented with complaints of painful terminal hematuria associated with clots along with retrograde ejaculation. The abdominal and local examination was within normal limits. MRI pelvis showed a large non-communicating cystic structure present in the pelvic cavity, compressing posterior wall of the urinary bladder, seminal vesicle, anterior wall of the rectum and also causing left hydroureteronephrosis. After evaluation, the patient was diagnosed with giant prostatic utricle cyst. Laparoscopic excision of prostatic utricle cyst was done successfully. Postoperative period was uneventful and the patient was discharged in satisfactory condition. Laparoscopic excision of prostatic utricle cyst is technically challenging but with acceptable complications and good surgical results
ABSTRACT
Penile Mondor’s disease (PMD) is a rare condition characterized by thrombosis of superficial dorsal vein of the penis. PMD is usually caused due to vigorous sex or repeated trauma to the penis leading to painful swelling of the penis. Most of the patients improve gradually on conservative treatment. Very rarely cord like lesion persists and causes painful erection and intercourse, meriting surgical management. Here, we report the case of a traumatic Thrombophlebitis of Superficial Dorsal Vein of Penis managed surgically along with a brief explanation of the surgical technique. Color Doppler was helpful in delineating the whole extent of thrombus in the vein. Excision of the whole length of the thrombosed vein was done. Abstinence from sex was advised for six weeks and the patient improved symptomatically
