ABSTRACT
A case of EH of the penis in a sixtyfour-year-old patient is described. This is a rare--in this location--vascular tumor of borderline malignant potential between hemangioma and angiosarcoma. Local excision of the tumor with a cut-off of normal tissue and careful follow-up of the patient is the accepted procedure. Immunohistochemistry is essential for the diagnosis.

OBJECTIVES: Herein we describe a case of an extremely uncommon malformation of the genitourinary system in a patient who had consulted for epididymitis. METHODS: Patient evaluation included radiological examination, IVP, US, CT and DVG The latter method was essential in the diagnosis of the malformation. RESULTS: The findings indicated left renal agenesis with blind left ureter opening to the ipsilateral ejaculatory duct, with severe deformity of the left seminal vesicle and ejaculatory duct. CONCLUSIONS: Since the patient has no important symptoms at the present time, contrary to the widely accepted approach, surgery has not been performed due to the risk of causing an iatrogenic lesion.

We report a case of pure leiomyoma of the prostate, an uncommon benign tumor with a leiomyomatous component distinct from benign prostatic hyperplasia. The literature is reviewed and several considerations are put forward relative to the etiopathogenesis, clinical and anatomopathological features, differential diagnosis and prognosis of this tumor.

An additional case of prostatic adenocarcinoma metastasizing to the skin is described. The metastatic lesions appeared late and despite surgical and hormonal castration. To our knowledge only 5 cases have been reported in the Spanish literature. Cutaneous metastasis originating from adenocarcinoma of the prostate is a sign of poor prognosis and patients die within 6 months after the appearance of the metastatic lesions. The site and route of tumor dissemination in the present case coincide with those reported in the literature.

We present a case of Vesical Amyloidosis (V.A.) in a woman with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Clinical data, other locations and Histochemical findings are consistent with Secondary Amyloidosis. After T.U.R., she was treated with Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and Colchicine. Her severe hematuria disappeared.
