A case of tunica albuginea cyst / 대한비뇨기과학회지

Tunica albuginea cyst is a rare disease and the most of which are benign lesion unlike most testicular mass. We report a 65-year-old man was admitted with testicular pain, tenderness and palpable mass. Preoperative ultrasonography demonstrated well marginated, cystic lesion in right testis, about 2.0 x 2.8 x 3.3 cm in size with partially thin walls. Orchiectomy was done and diagnosis was made by patho-histologic findings.

Measurement of intrapelvic organs in male with computed tomography: especially on prostate and seminal cesicles / 대한비뇨기과학회지

Pelvic organs are generally sufficiently outlined by extraperitoneal fat, and there is a relative absence of physiologic motion. Computed tomography(CF) of the pelvic cavity is advantageous to demarcate anatomical features. It is important to standardize localization and volumetric measurement of intrapelvic organs in each plane of pelvic computed topography image. Forty four cases without pelvic pathology were studied in other to determine the normal morphology of the prostate and seminal vesicles on CT with the standard plane of greater trochanter to be appeared. The shape of pelvic cavity had android type in three-fifths and the size had 60.0~ 153.6mm(mean 95.3+/-17.7 mm) in anteroposterior diameter and 87.6~158.3 mm (mean 102.5+/-13.5 mm) in transverse. About four-fifths of the shape of the prostate had round type on the level of appearing to the largest prostate. About four-fifths of number of appearing plane of prostate on pelvic CT had 3 planes. The mean volume of the prostate was 32.6+/-7.2 ml and the volume of the prostate was well correlated with age(p<0.000). The mean anterior and lateral space of Retzius were 12.0+/-11.8 mm, 16.1+/-14.1 mm respectively. According to patient`s body weight and height, space were not correlated to body weight & height. About a half and one-third of the shape of the seminal vesicles had bow-tie and crescent type on the level of appearing to the largest seminal vesicles. About three-Fifths and one-fifth of number of appearing plane of seminal vesicles on pelvic CT had 2 and 3 planes. The mean length of right and left seminal vesicles was 40.4+/-5.2 mm and 38.7+/-6.1 mm respectively.

A case of congenital renal arterio-venous malformation with huge venous dilatation / 대한비뇨기과학회지

A 45-years-old woman complained mild right flank pain and easy fatigability. Right abdominal bruit was heard by auscultation. CT and angiography revealed a huge venous dilatation in renal sinus measuring 10.2cm in diameter. And similar findings were shown in MRI. We performed nephrectomy and confirmed arteriovenous fistula in main renal artery and vein.

Indwelling of an intraprostatic stent(prostakath/TM and nissenkorn catheter): possibilities as a definitive management for benign prostatic hyperplasia / 대한비뇨기과학회지

Two kinds or intraprostatic stent (Prostakath and Nissenkorn catheter) were inserted under local anesthesia in 17 patients for 20 times who had benign prostatic hyperplasia. Within 1 month after insertion of the stents. the results are good in 10 of 17 patients. fair in 4 and poor in 3 from the view points of improvements in urine flow and voiding symptoms. Of 9 patients in whom the stents have been inserted longer than 6 months. 4 are good. 2 are fair and 3 are poor in the results of long term insertion. It seems that this method is applicable as s definitive method for benign prostatic hyperplasia if there is a few progressions in the location where this stent is inserted. in the quality or stent material and in the easy way to change the stent.
