Urothelial Cell Carcinoma of the Renal Pelvis Misdiagnosed as Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction: A Case Report.

Urothelial tumors are typically a disease affecting elderly individuals and are rare in young patients. Moreover, upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma is extremely rare in the young age group. In this study, we present a case of urothelial cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis and ureter in a young man without risk factors of urothelial carcinoma, which was misdiagnosed as ureteropelvic junction obstruction and treated with a laparoscopic pyeloplasty.

Rapid Recurrence of Giant Multilocular Prostatic Cystadenoma after Laparoscopic Excision for Primary Case: A Case Report.

Giant multilocular prostatic cystadenoma is a rare benign tumor of the prostate gland that presents as a large retroperitoneal pelvic mass. The mass is usually located between the urinary bladder and rectum, and results in obstructive voiding symptoms and a change in bowel habits. Complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice. We present a case of rapid recurrent giant multilocular prostatic cystadenoma after laparoscopic excision for primary case. A previously healthy 54-year-old man presented with acute urinary retention. Prostate MRI showed a large cystic mass approximately 13 cm in size, multiple septa and lobulation in the prostate, and no visible solid lesions. Laparoscopic marsupialization of giant multilocular prostatic cystadenoma cysts was performed. One year later, the patient presented with local recurrence. Repeated laparoscopic complete resection was performed without any complications and further recurrence. Giant multilocular prostatic cystadenoma has the risk of recurrence in case of incomplete resection. Surgical treatment should be performed with the goal of complete removal following the same principles as cancer surgery.

A Case of Incidental Schwannoma Mimicking Necrotic Metastatic Lymph Node from Bladder Cancer.

Background and Objectives: Retroperitoneal schwannoma is a very rare case of schwannoma which commonly occurs in the other part of the body. However, it is difficult to distinguish schwannoma from other tumors before pathological examination because they do not show specific characteristics on imaging study such as ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance image (MRI). Case summary: A 60-year-old male showed a retroperitoneal cystic tumor which is found incidentally during evaluation of coexisted bladder tumor. Neurogenic tumor was suspicious for the retroperitoneal tumor through pre-operative imaging study. Finally, a schwannoma was diagnosed by immunohistochemical examination after complete surgical excision laparoscopically. Conclusion: As imaging technology is developed, there may be more chances to differentiate schwannoma from other neoplasm. However, still surgical resection and histopathological examination is feasible for diagnosis of schwannoma.

Tubulocystic Renal Cell Carcinoma Is Not an Indolent Tumor: A Case Report of Recurrences in the Retroperitoneum and Contralateral Kidney.

Tubulocystic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a rare subtype of RCC that was recently included in the 2016 World Health Organization classification of tumors of the kidney. Most of these tumors exhibit indolent behavior with low metastatic potential. However, here we report a case of recurrent tubulocystic RCC with aggressive features in the retroperitoneum and contralateral kidney treated with targeted agents and radiofrequency ablation.
