"Diabetic penile necrosis'': A rare but serious complication of diabetes mellitus.

Penile tissue death caused by impaired blood flow and nerve damage is a severe but uncommon complication of diabetes mellitus known as diabetic penile necrosis. Diabetes related vascular and neurological issues result in reduced sensation and limited blood supply to the penis leading to this condition. The consequences on sexual function and quality of life are catastrophic though it's rare, hence early identification, treatment intervention cannot be over emphasized since they help prevent further deterioration including infections that arise from complications occasioned by delayed management.

A case report of giant paratesticular myxoid liposarcoma.

Liposarcomas are an uncommon occurrence in the paratesticular region that makes about 20 % of all sarcomas. The clinical appearance is an inguinal lump, which can resemble a hydrocele or hernia. There would be no conventional treatment accessible because it is such a rare disease. We report the case of a 68-year-old man with paratesticular myxoid liposarcoma. Ultrasound and CT-scan came back in favor of a paratesticular tumor. A high inguinal orchidectomy has been done and the diagnostic of myxoid liposarcoma was first evoked by histology and confirmed by molecular biology. At 12 months follow up the patient remains tumor free.

Crossed renal ectopia: A case report and review of the literature.

Rarely occurring at birth, crossed renal ectopia is an abnormality in which both kidneys occupy the same side of the body while one ureter - its length based on kidney location - traverses across midline to graft into opposite-side bladder. McDonald and McClellan classified renal ectopia into 4 types. Solitary crossed renal ectopia (SCRE) is an extremely uncommon abnormality of the urinary system. To date, only 35 instances have been documented in published literature. Typically, these cases are detected by chance during patient assessments for related issues such as genitourinary, cardiovascular, hematological or vertebral abnormalities.

Renal pelvic rupture: A case report of an unexpected cause.

INTRODUCTION: Renal pelvic rupture (RPR) is a rare condition, that is most usually caused by obstructive calculi. In another hand, primal ureteral tumors are also uncommon, with only a few cases reporting their involvement in a RPR. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We report a case with a multimodality discussion of an ureteral tumor, with a spontaneous renal pelvic rupture (RPR) forming a large retrorenal urohematoma. DISCUSSION: Only few series reported the subject of RPR in the English literature. Only some single cases reported the causality of urinary tract tumors in RPR. RPR is an imaging based diagnosis. Herein, upper urinary tract tumors show a variable appearances at imaging. CONCLUSION: By reporting this case, we highlight the role of both computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in the diagnosis of the RPR and their accuracy in the detection of the ureteral tumor. We also consolidate the effectiveness of the conservative attitude in the management of the RPR.
