Salpingo-vesical fistula. Rare and unusual complication of vaginal hysterectomy.

A case of salpingo-vesical fistula is presented which occurred in a forty-six-year-old female two years after a vaginal hysterectomy. The patient's presenting complaints included pelvic and right lumbosacral discomfort, aggravated by urination. Cystoscopy revealed the fistula, and the patient was successfully treated with a salpingo-oophorectomy.

Giant desmoid tumor of the abdominal wall masquerading as recurrent testicular cancer.

A huge abdominal mass developed 4 years after successful chemotherapy and laparotomy for stage III embryonal testicular cancer. Complete surgical extirpation proved that this lesion was a desmoid tumor of the abdominal wall and not a recurrent germ cell neoplasm. Fortunately, this mass was excised and not treated by aggressive chemotherapy.
