[Cystic displasia of the testis. Review of literature]. / Displasia quística de rete testis: revisión de la literatura.

OBJECTIVE: Review this pathology nowadays. METHODS: We search in Medline/PubMed database for reviews about cystic dysplasia of the testis. We review and discuss the relevant literature about it. RESULTS: Cystic dysplasia of the testis (CDT) is a rare benign disease, associated with upper urinary tract malformations. Its most frequent clinical manifestation is the increase of testicular size; the presence of cysts is demonstrated by ultrasound. No consensus exists in its treatment, it oftenly requires histological confirmation, performing testicle-sparing surgery. CONCLUSION: CDT needs to be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of childhood testicular tumors.

[Clinical presentation of renal cell carcinoma in renal transplant]. / Presentación clínica del carcinoma de células renales en el trasplante renal.

OBJECTIVES: To analyze the clinical presentation and therapeutic response of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) of the renal graft. METHODS: Analysis of the cases described in our centre and review of current literature. RESULTS: RCC has a higher incidence in transplant patients, affecting the graft in less than 10% of the cases. Detection is usually a casual event during follow-up due to the absence of innervation, although its presentation may be as an acute abdomen in case of breakage of the graft. Conventional treatment consists of transplant nephrectomy, but partial nephrectomy has been performed in recent years with good results. The modification of immunosuppression is a routine measure after treatment. CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of RCC after renal transplants in our series is 0.7%, of which 22% are originated in the graft. The clinical presentation of the primitive RCC of the graft is variable. Partial nephrectomy is technically feasible and oncologically safe in the treatment of RCC of the renal graft.

Displasia quística de rete testis: revisión de la literatura / Cystic displasia of the testis. Review of literature

Objetivo: Revisión de la Displasia Quística de Rete Testis en el momento actual. Material y Métodos: Búsqueda bibliográfica en la base de datos Medline/PubMed del término “Cystic dysplasia of the testis”, con análisis de las revisiones bibliográficas encontradas. Resultados: La displasia quística de rete testis (DQRT) es una rara enfermedad benigna, asociada a malformaciones del tracto urinario superior. Su manifestación clínica más frecuente es el aumento de tamaño testicular, demostrándose la presencia de los quistes ecográficamente. No existe consenso en el tratamiento, optándose en la mayoría de los casos por la confirmación anatomopatológica con conservación del parénquima testicular. Conclusión: La DQRT es una enfermedad que debe ser tenida en cuenta en el diagnóstico diferencial de la masa escrotal infantil (AU)

Presentación clínica del carcinoma de células renales en el trasplante renal / Clinical presentation of renal cell carcinoma in renal transplant

OBJETIVO: Analizar la presentación clínica y la actitud terapéutica ante la afectación del injerto por un Carcinoma de células renales (CCR).MÉTODOS: Análisis de los casos descritos en nuestro Centro y revisión de la literatura actual.RESULTADOS: El CCR presenta una incidencia superior en los pacientes trasplantados, afectando en menos del 10% al injerto. La ausencia de inervación hace que habitualmente sea un hallazgo casual durante el seguimiento, aunque su presentación puede llegar a ser como un abdomen agudo en caso de rotura del injerto. El tratamiento convencional es la trasplantectomía, realizándose en los últimos años la nefrectomía parcial con buenos resultados. La modificación de la inmunosupresión es una medida habitual tras el tratamiento.CONCLUSIONES: La incidencia de CCR post-TR en nuestra serie es del 0,7%, originándose el 22% de los mismos en el injerto. La presentación clínica del CCR primitivo del injerto es variable. La nefrectomía parcial es técnicamente posible y oncológicamente segura en el tratamiento del CCR del injerto renal(AU)
