ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To describe two cases of urothelial tumors in inguinoscrotal bladder hernias and comment on the low incidence of this condition. METHODS: Two patients were diagnosed and treated by partial cystectomy and hernia repair. RESULTS: The clinical outcome of both patients was good at two and three years, respectively, and neither patient experienced hernia or tumor recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: Inguinal bladder hernias are relatively common. However, few reports of tumor in the herniated bladder have been published. Treatment consists of tumor removal, hernia repair and treatment of any associated urethroprostatic condition.

OBJETIVO: Mostramos dos casos de neoplasia urotelial en hernias vesicales inguinoescrotales y referimos su escasa incidencia.METODOS: Se describe el diagnóstico y tratamiento efectuado con cistectomía parcial y herniorrafia.RESULTADOS: Ambos pacientes al cabo de dos y tres años respectivamente han tenido buena evolución clínica, sin recidiva herniaria ni del tumor.CONCLUSIONES: Las hernias vesicales inguinales son relativamente frecuentes, pero los casos de tumor en la vejiga herniada son escasos en la literatura. El tratamiento persigue eliminar el tumor, reparar la hernia y tratar si existe la patología uretroprostática (AU)

OBJECTIVE: We report two cases of collecting duct carcinoma that were diagnosed in our hospital in a six-month period. METHODS/RESULTS: The first case was a 75years-old woman showing in CT scan a mass in the left kidney which infiltrated perinephric fat. The second case was a 72-years-old that showed in a CT scan a right renal pelvis lesion, involving inferior vena cava and renal vein. After surgical resection by radical nephrectomy in both cases, we confirmed the histological diagnosis of collecting duct carcinoma. CONCLUSIONS: Collecting duct carcinoma is a rare variant of renal cell carcinoma which originates from the epithelium of the collecting tubule. It is characterized by both its aggressiveness and peculiar histological and immunohistochemical diagnosis, that separates it from the rest of renal tumors.

OBJECTIVES: To review the current diagnosis and treatment of Leydig cell testicular tumors, with special attention to conservative treatment. METHODS: We report two cases of Leydig cell tumor in young adults, diagnosed two years after the appearance of bilateral gynecomastia as first clinical symptom. RESULTS: One year and eight months after orchyectomy, respectively, clinical symptoms completely disappear in the first case and significantly improved in the second. CONCLUSIONS: Around 10% of the cases, and only in adult patients, these tumors may be malignant, being radical orchyectomy the treatment of choice, although conservative surgery may be performed. Independently of the operation, follow-up must be prolonged.

Objetivo: Revisar el diagnóstico y tratamiento actual de los tumores testiculares de células de Leydig, poniendo especial atención en el tratamiento conservador. Métodos: Presentamos dos casos de tumor de células de Leydig en adultos jóvenes, diagnosticados dos años después de aparecer ginecomastia bilateral como primera manifestación clínica. Resultados: al año y ocho meses respectivamente de efectuarse la orquiectomía, las manifestaciones clínicas desaparecieron totalmente en el primer caso y mejoraron ostensiblemente en el segundo. Conclusiones: Alrededor del 10% y sólo en adultos, estos tumores pueden ser malignos, siendo el tratamiento de elección la orquiectomía radical, aunque es posible la realización de cirugía conservadora. El seguimiento de estos pacientes, independientemente de la cirugía practicada, debe ser prolongado (AU)

Paragangliomas or extra-adrenal pheochromocytomas account for approximately 15% of all pheochromocytomas. They are usually found in an intradiaphragmatic location. Paragangliomas of the urinary bladder are infrequent and represent 6% of the paragangliomas and 0.06% of all bladder tumors. We describe 2 cases of urinary bladder paragangliomas attended to our center and review the literature with special attention to treatment, since there is some controversy around the management of these tumors. Surgical options include partial or total cystectomy and transurethral resection, but there is no consensus regarding these treatment modalities. The 2 patients presented underwent transurethral resection with a good outcome and no recurrence or residual disease.
