ABSTRACT
Unlike females, the endocrine gonadic syndrome in males usually accompanies the disorders of the excreting apparatus. Interpretation of the lesions as uro-genital tuberculosis has been commonly accepted in practice. Researches carried out in males, much fewer than in females, have showed a number of particular aspects of the syndrome. This paper makes a brief survey of these aspects based on updated references.

Out of 177 different hydatid localisations 9 were juxtavesical. In 3 patients the cysts were recurrent. The diagnosis, based on the clinical and radiological examinations and exploration was facilitated by the history or the co-existence of other parasitic lesions. Other pathological lesions in 2 patients brought about hesitation and delay in micturition. In one case, size, consistency and fixation of the cyst initially suggested a malignant pelvic tumour. One severe late renal complications was recorded. 7 patients underwent surgical treatment.

In urinary tuberculosis, during recent years, there has been remarkable progress in treatment but some new aspects are reported, which raise problems in diagnosis and therapeutics. There is an increase of silent forms, forms with rapid destructive development, even under treatment, and forms masked by association with other diseases. The percentage of elderly patients has increased, as has the number of cases presenting with advanced lesions with little clinical manifestation. This calls for more careful searching, assessment and survey of any suspected case.
