ABSTRACT
The functional condition of seminal vesicles can be judged on the basis of spermatic fructose. In dealing with the causes of fructose deficiency, one must distinguish between androgen-dependent and androgen-refractory deficiencies. The main causes of androgenic-refractory fructose deficiency are specific and unspecific inflammations of the masculine adnexa. The example of spermatocystic tuberculosis demonstrates the importance which must be given to specific inflammation of the masculine adnexa, during fertility-consultation hours.

A clinical case is described featuring bilateral lithiasis of the renal pelvis and calices in conjunction with cystic kidney in a female patient. Progression was shown by tumor enhancement in the lower abdomen, a distension of the concretions in pyelogram, and an increment of creatine in the serum. In this case there was no indication for surgery.

Hamartomas are benign renal tumors. In most cases they can be diagnosed by means of angiography. Treatment varies in accordance with clinical manifestation and progression. Symptom-free hamartomas need no treatment. In case of bleeding, embolization may be performed. Nephrectomy ought not to be performed save in emergency or if malignancy is suspected.
