RESUMO
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare variant of prostate cancer. We report a case of a patient who was diagnosed with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the prostate, treated with leuprorelin and subsequently found to have SCC 18 months later. We have found one case in the literature with a similar scenario of possible transformation of adenocarcinoma to SCC secondary to luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) treatment. We found interesting similarities between the two cases, which raise the possibility of the transformation of tumour type and highlights the importance of the clinical picture in the follow-up, even with low prostate specific antigen (PSA) value.
RESUMO
Pilonidal sinus is a chronic inflammatory condition owing to the subcutaneous trapping of hair. Most commonly it is found in the sacrococcygeal region (natal cleft) but rarely it is found on the penis with very few cases reported in the literature worldwide. We are reporting a case of a pilonidal sinus growing on the distal penile shaft with the sinus opening to the mucosal layer of the foreskin, in a young and fit patient. The cyst was removed with a circumcision and found to contain hair. This was confirmed by histology as a pilonidal sinus cyst.

Spontaneous rupture of the urinary bladder (SRUB) is a rare urological emergency. It is usually secondary to an underlying pathology. An idiopathic entity has not been reported in the literature. We report a case of idiopathic SRUB in a young female presented with abdominal pain and acute renal injury in the absence of prior trauma. We have conducted a literature review to identify commonly reported etiologies. SRUB is usually secondary to an underlying pathology, but in extremely rare cases it can be idiopathic.
