    Plasmacytomas of the testis are extremely rare tumours, especially when occurring in the absence of a previous or concurrent diagnosis of multiple myeloma. We report a new case of solitary testicular plasmacytoma, with immunohistochemical studies showing monoclonal cytoplasmic production of IgG lambda light chains, in a 51-year-old man who had no evidence of multiple myeloma 3 years after the orchiectomy.Key Words: Testis, plasmacytoma, multiple myelom

    Objectif Préciser les aspects cliniques et évaluer l'intérêt du traitement par endoprothèse JJ associant des antituberculeux plus ou moins un traitement corticoïde. Patients et méthodes De janvier 1992 à décembre 2001, 12 patients atteints de sténoses urétérales d'origine tuberculeuse ont bénéficié d'une monté de sonde JJ pendant 12 semaines en moyenne, associant un traitement antituberculeux pendant 8 mois, et un traitement corticoïde dans deux cas. Il s'agissait de 6 femmes et de 6 hommes, âgés de 20 à 73 ans (âge moyenne: 40 ans). Résultats Les manifestations cliniques les plus fréquentes étaient représentées par la douleur (66.66%) et l'hématurie (41.6%). La sténose était unilatérale et unifocale dans 4 cas, unilatérale et bifocale dans 3 cas, sous forme d'uretère moniliforme dans 3 cas. Le rein contre-latéral était normal dans 9 cas et mastic dans 3 cas. La sténose était bilatérale dans 2 cas, a droite dans 6 cas et à gauche dans 4 cas. L'évolution a été favorable dans 9 cas avec la disparition complète de la sténose dans 4 cas, une régression partielle de la sténose et de la dilatation urétéro-pyélocalicielle dans 5 cas, alors qu'une aggravation a été remarquée dans 3 cas, 6 mois après l'ablation de la JJ ce qui a nécessité le recours à la chirurgie réparatrice avec confection d'un lambeau de Boari (1 cas), d'une vessie psoïque (1 cas) et d'une plastie de la jonction pyélo-urétérale (1 cas). Conclusion L'endoprothèse JJ associant un traitement antituberculeux est proposée comme une alternative à la chirurgie classique. Un traitement corticoïde s'il est accordé précocement peut aider sans doute à une réduction de la sténose. Treatment of Ureteral Stricture due to Tuberculosis by a ";Double J"; Catheter Retrospective Study of 12 Observations Objective:To precise the clinical features and evaluate the accuracy of treatment by JJ endo-prsthesis associated with antituberculous medications and more or less corticoid treatment. Patients and Methods:From January 1992 to December 2001, 12 patients presenting with ureteral strictures due to tuberculosis were treated by JJ catheter for a mean of 12 months in association with antituberculous medication for 8 months and corticoid treatment in 2 cases. The population included 6 males and 6 females aged 20 – 73 years (mean age: 40 years). Results:The most frequent clinical expressions were pain (66.66%) and haematuria (41.6%). The stricture was unilateral and unifocal in 4 casers, unilateral and bifocal in 3 cases, multifocal in 3 cases. The controlateral kidney was normal in 9 cases and mastic in 3 cases. The stricture was bilateral in 2 cases, located on the right ureter in 6 cases and on the left side in 4 cases. The outcome was favourable in 9 cases with complete disappearance of the stricture in 4 cases, a partial regression of the stricture and the pyelo-calyceal dilatation in 5 cases, while the condition of the remaining 3 cases deteriorated 6 months after removal of the JJ catheter leading to reconstructive surgery using a Boari flap (1 case), a psoas hitch (1 case) and uretero-pelvic junction plastic surgery (1 case). Conclusion:JJ endoprosthesis associated with antituberculous medication is proposed as an alternative treatment to classic surgery. A corticoid treatment used early can be helpful to reduce the stricture. (Af J Urology: 2003 9(2): 88-93

    Cas Clinique Le myélolipome surrénalien: une entité rare

    Le myélolipome surrénalien est une tumeur rare, bénigne et non fonctionnelle de la surrénale, souvent asymptomatique. Il peut se compliquer de douleur ou d'hémorragie rétropéritonéale. L'imagerie médicale permet le plus souvent d'évoquer le diagnostic et de le différencier des autres incidentalomes surrénaliens en mettant en évidence sa composante graisseuse. Le caractère compliqué, symptomatique ou volumineux du myélolipome surrénalien doit faire indiquer son exérèse chirurgicale. Nous rapportons le cas d'un gros myélolipome surrénalien symptomatique découvert chez un homme de 44 ans ayant nécessité un traitement chirurgical Keywords: Incidentalome surrénalien, myélolipome African Journal Of Urology Vol.14 (3) 2007: pp. 174-17

    Laterality of Symptomatic Recurrent Calcium Nephrolithiasis

    Objective: Although it is presumed that both kidneys excrete similar urinary constituents, it is a general observation that the majority of patients present with unilateral stone disease. The aim of this work was to study the laterality of recurrence in calcium stone formers. Patients and Methods: In a retrospective study of 154 patients treated for recurrent symptomatic nephrolithiasis at our institution between January 1982 and December 2006, the side of stone formation was determined by an analysis of radiographic fi ndings and symptomatic history. Patients with hydronephrosis, major renal anatomic anomalies and non-calcium stones were excluded from the study. The features of unilateral stone forming and bilateral stone forming were compared. Statistical analysis was done using Student\'s t-test. Results: Of the 154 patients, 102 were males and 52 females with a male-to-female ratio of 1:2. One hundred and fourteen patients had unilateral stones (Group A), 64 (56%) on the left and 50 (44%) on the right side. In 40 patients they were bilateral (Group B). Comparing Groups A and B, the mean age at the fi rst stone episode was 41.5 versus 38.3 years, the mean interval between the fi rst stone and recurrence was 9.6 versus 9.9 years, and the mean follow-up was 13.3 versus 14.9 years (differences not statistically signifi cant). In Group A, 101 patients (89%) had unilateral stone recurrence episodes with 86 of these 101 patients (85%) developing stones on the same side as the primary stone. Of the 40 patients with bilateral stone formation, 30 patients (75%) had bilateral stone recurrence episodes. Conclusion: Recurrent stone formers commonly present withcalculi on the same side and the etiology of this phenomenon is unclear, but anatomic and external triggers should be considered.
