Systemic Candidiasis with Multiple Abscesses After Transurethral Resection of the Prostate Gland

SUMMARY. The rare case is presented of a patient who developed multiple abscesses from Candida albicans after transurethral resection of the prostate gland for benign prostatic hyperplasia. The abscesses developed in the urogenital system, the anorectal region and the lungs, and also subcutaneously. They were treated both surgically and with medication. Solitary abscess as a manifestation of candidiasis is well documented, but to the best of the authors’ knowledge this is the first report of multiple, synchronous abscesses in different systems in a patient with systemic candidiasis.

Late relapse of testicular tumour at 23 years invading the ischium with pulmonary involvement and thoracic - abdominal adenopathy. Case report

SUMMARY. Late relapse of testicular germ cell tumour is uncommon, especially with skeletal metastases. It appears that late relapse of non-seminomatous germ cell tumours presents with more aggressive biological features and is clinically distinct from early relapse. This report describes the case of a non-seminomatous germ cell tumour which recurred 23 years after the initial diagnosis and treatment. A 52-year-old man developed an ischial bone osteolytic mass which was discovered during investigation of severe pain in the hip joint. Pneumon 2010, 23(1):103-110
