ABSTRACT
Whereas coronary aneurysms are commonly associated with Kawasaki disease, involvement of the renal vasculature is exceedingly rare. Genitourinary involvement in patients with Kawasaki disease is typically limited to sterile pyuria and proteinuria. In this case, a 13-year-old girl who presented with right flank pain and microhematuria was found to have an intraparenchymal hemorrhagic mass on computerized tomography scan. Renal arteriography confirmed the diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm in a lower pole segmental artery branch and complete occlusion was achieved with endovascular embolization.

Abdominoscrotal hydrocele is a rare condition where a large hydrocele is connected to a preperitoneal space through the inguinal canal. We present a case of a young male with an abdominoscrotal hydrocele who showed gross absence of an epididymis upon hydrocele removal. Upon pathological examination, epididymal tissue was found to be incorporated into the wall of the hydrocele sac.

Ureteral fibroepithelial polyps are extremely rare benign lesions composed of stroma with a surface of normal transitional epithelium. Traditionally, symptomatic polyps were treated with open exploration and segmental resection. We describe the first case of bilateral polyps in a child. One was removed by segmental resection and the other by ureteroscopic laser surgery.
