ABSTRACT
The immature teratoma is extremely rare tumor consisting of mature tissues and immature embryonal tissues. The immature teratoma in children occurs more frequently at the sacrococcygeal bone, testis and ovary. Only 9.5 percent of immature teratomas occur in retroperitoneum. Often the presenting manifestation is asymptomatic with increasing abdominal distention or mass discovered during physical examination. We report a case of congenital retroperitoneal immature teratoma in 3-week-old boy who was treated by surgical excision.

A small number of patients have been described in whom normal male development of the external genitalia has occurred but whom the Mullerian ducts persist. The retention of Mullerian structures can be ascribed to the failure of the Sertoli cells to synthesize Mullerian duct inhibitory factor or to a defect in the response of the duct to that factor. We experienced a case of persistent Mullerian duct syndrome. which is phenotypically normal male with bilateral undescended testes, bilateral fallopian tubes and a uterus. Herein we report a case with brief review of the literatures.

Ureteroscopic stone extraction is popular method for the management of ureteral stone after innovative development of rigid ureteroscope. A sequential analysis of the clinical study revealed that during the first 39 cases success rate was 56.4 %. Within the latter 39 cases success rate was 92.3%. Complication included ureteral perforation in 2 cases (2.7% ), fever more than 38 degrees C in 2 (2.7%). Although E.S.W.L. is the mainstream of method of management for ureteral stone, ureteroscopic stone extraction is choice for urologist where E.S.W.L. is not available or when patient refuses E.S.W.L.
