ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES: To describe two cases of malakoplakia of the bladder with an unusual form of presentation and review the cases previously reported in the literature. METHODS/RESULTS: Two patients, a 61-year-old female and a 71-year-old male, are described. Both patients had a history of recurrent infection caused by coliform pathogens. Treatment consisted of trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole, ascorbic acid and bethanecol chloride, together with extended TUR of the bladder lesion. CONCLUSIONS: Although malacoplakia of the bladder is considered to be a benign disease, close follow-up is warranted due to frequent recurrence of symptoms and the difficulty in achieving long-lasting effects since it is frequently associated with immunosuppression.

OBJECTIVES: Verrucous carcinoma, a variant of squamous cell carcinoma accounts for 5%-8% of all penile tumors. The unique histological features and behaviour of this tumor type prompted us to report these two cases.

We report a case of cutaneous metastasis originating from prostate adenocarcinoma. We underscore this rare site of metastasis and the poor outcome.

We report a case of traumatic priapism with an evolution of three weeks at the time of the diagnosis. The foregoing condition had been caused by an arteriocavernal fistula. Several arteriograms and selective embolization of the compromised area were required for treatment. The etiological, pathophysiological and therapeutic aspects are discussed.
