    Zinner Syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly. It is considered a rare cause of male infertility and can cause a range of clinical manifestations that may lead to significant morbidity. The diagnosis of Zinner Syndrome requires a high index of suspicion, combined with a detailed clinical evaluation and imaging studies. Ultrasonography, computed tomography, and MRI are the imaging modalities of choice for the diagnosis of this condition. Radiological evaluation also plays a crucial role in the management of Zinner Syndrome. In symptomatic cases, surgical intervention may be necessary, and radiology is essential for surgical planning and postoperative monitoring. In this case report, we describe an uncommon case of a 35-year-old patient with vague scrotal pain and discuss the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of this rare condition. Prompt and accurate diagnosis is important to prevent the potential morbidity associated with this condition, such as recurrent epididymitis, urinary tract infections, and infertility

    There are very few cases of primary renal Ewing sarcomas, which are characterized by a high rate of metastasis. These tumors are often mistaken for other more common kidney tumors due to their rarity and lack of pathognomonic symptoms in the early stages. A 28-year-old male patient presented to our clinic with a 2-month history of nonproductive progressive cough and left flank pain. The chest was scanned with contrast-enhanced computed tomography, which showed a heterogeneously enhancing mass with central vascularity on the left retroperitoneal. An abdominal dynamic multiphasic magnetic resonance imaging with contrast revealed a large mass that was highly suggestive of neoplastic pathology and multiple metastatic nodules. The pathology report indicated a renal Ewing sarcoma as the result of a core needle biopsy. In order to initiate chemotherapy promptly, early detection is crucial, and radiology plays an important role in diagnosing
