[The value of biopsy of the inguinal lymph nodes in patients with epidermoid carcinoma of the penis]. / Intérêt des biopsies des ganglions inguinaux chez les patients atteints d'un carcinome épidermoïde de verge.

Twenty-four inguinal biopsies were performed in 16 patients with invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the penis. All patients had suspicion of inguinal metastatic involvement. Five patients (31.25%) had inguinal lymph nodes involved with tumor. Among 11 patients with negative biopsies, 8 were evaluated during careful follow-up. Only 3 patients remained free of tumor at 57.61 and 80 months respectively after negative biopsy.

[Uretero-ureterocolic fistula 10 months after enterocystoplasty (Mainz pouch)]. / Fistule urétéro-urétéro-colique 10 mois après entérocystoplastie (poche de Mainz).

We report a case of delayed uretero-ureterocolic fistula after radical cystectomy with bladder substitution. This unusual late complication occurred 10 months postoperatively. The patient developed metabolic hyperchloremic acidosis. Progressively urinary volume diminished and finally the patient stopped to void physiologically. The complex urinary fistula had to be corrected surgically.
