ABSTRACT
The authors report one case of vesical paraganglioma, not suspected in a 50-years-old female patient who presented gross hematuria as only symptom. The patient was not hypertensive. Radiologic and endoscopic investigations revealed a trigonal submucosal tumour. Complete transurethral resection of the tumor was performed with no intraoperative complications. The histopathological diagnosis indicated pheochromocytoma. Blood pressure was stable. There has been no recurrence for 18 months after transurethral resection.

The authors report a retrospective serial of 225 patients presenting an infiltrating bladder tumor. The infiltrating tumors represent 29.2% of bladder tumors. The middle age of our patients is 59 years with a sex-ratio of 7.3. In the histology, 80% of the tumors are a cell transitional carcinoma and 65% of the patients are classified stage T3T4. The surgical treatment has could be achieved at 73.3% of the cases and 66.7% of the patients had a radical cystectomy. The urinary diversion was essentially an continent urostomy using Benchekroun's hydraulic valve. At 28 months mean follow-up, a locoregional recurrence has been noted from 18% of the Tur achieved alone and 4% of the radical cystectomy. A metastasis has been noted from 18% of the patients and this in a mean delay of 12 months.

We report our experience with treating the vaginal aplasia by vaginoplasty used sigmoid graft in about three cases. Two patients presented with the Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome and one a gender reassignment for intersex. Anatomic and functional results were satisfactory with no vagina stenosis. All three are sexually active. The sigmoid colon is the best choice for interposition vaginoplasty.

The authors describe a case of enterovesical fistulas in a patient with Crohn's disease that presented exclusively as urinary symptoms manifesting as bladder tumor. Ultrasound examination showed a normal upper urinary tract and a bladder tumor. Cystoscopy examination revealed a bladder tumor at the retrotrigonal region without showing the fistula orifice. Transurethral resection of the tumor revealed an inflammatory pseudotumor of the urinary bladder at the results of histological studies. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a normal upper urinary tract but a bladder tumor and a sigmoidovesical fistula. The results of barium contrast studies established the presence of numerous enterovesical fistulas. Partial resection of the ileum, ileostomy, colostomy and suture of the bladder fistulas was performed. Histological diagnosis of the affected ileum was Crohn's disease. The clinical features, natural history and treatment of enterovesical fistula secondary of Crohn's disease were discussed.

Inflammatory pseudotumor is a reactive benign lesion which can be very difficult to distinguish from some malignant bladder tumors like sarcomas or sarcomatoid carcinoma. Inflammatory pseudotumour (IPT) of the urinary bladder is a benign proliferate lesion which can simulate clinically and histologically a sarcoma. A case of an inflammatory pseudotumor of the urinary bladder in a 18-years-old man is presented. This patient presented with sudden onset of gross painless hematurial related to large polypoid and ulcerated bladder masses found on endoscopy. Initial pathological analysis was interpreted as rhabdomyosarcoma but subsequent reviews were consistent with a benign process resembling nodular fasciitis. This rare, benign and presumed non-neoplastic, reactive lesion must be differentiated from sarcomas of the urinary bladder. Immunohistochemistry seems to be the method of election in differentiating inflammatory pseudo-tumor from other spindle cell proliferations of the bladder. When diagnosis is certain, complete transurethral resection is the treatment of choice. However, if there is no total pathologic confirmation, if it is a very wide lesion or if it is recurring after endoscopic resection, a partial cystectomy is suggested.

The author reports a serie of 4 cases of male urethral diverticulum. All cases were acquired origin. They are complication of urethroplasty. Diagnosis is clinical, based on the development of a perineal mass or phlegmon. This diagnosis is confirmed by cystourethrography. Treatment is by open surgery and consists on diverticulectomy and repair urethra in one stage. Two steps are necessary as the reported cases, where they are urethral stenosis or a inflammatory involvement of the peridiverticulum tissues. This treatment achieves good results.
