Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Pseudotumour of the Urinary Bladder in a Young Male: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Urological Surgery - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours (IMTs) are relatively rare entities with an uncertain pathogenesis and are classified as tumours of intermediate biological potential. IMTs of the urinary bladder are generally benign in nature and have a very small risk of distant metastasis. Radiographic imaging and clinical symptoms are not helpful in identifying these tumours, because of their nonspecific features similar to those of malignant tumours. Surgical excision may be sufficient for treating patients with urinary bladder IMT.

Comparison of Pain Scores During Retrieval of Ureteral Stents Using Rigid Cystoscope Versus Rigid Ureteroscope in an Office Setting: A Prospective Study
Objective: Ureteral stents inserted to prevent obstruction to the flow of urine need to be removed after they serve the purpose of their insertion. The most commonly practiced method for stent removal is using a rigid cy...
A Rare Cause of Chronic Pelvic Pain in Young Man: Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings of Zinner’s Syndrome
Chronic pelvic pain is more uncommon in men than in women, and it is often thought to be due to problems with the urogenital system. The maldevelopment of the urogenital system is a rare condition, and frequently detecte...
Does the Decrease in Neutrophil-lymphocyte Ratio after BCG Treatment Be a Prognostic Marker for NMIBC?
Objective: Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) accounts for 75% of all bladder cancer cases. Several models to predict relapses and progression have been developed. We aimed to determine the predictive value of th...
Are Haematological Parameters Reliable for Differential Diagnosis of Testicular Torsion and Epididymitis?
Objective: Acute scrotum is a urological emergency that can result in loss of the testis if the differential diagnosis is not made immediately. Testicular torsion (TT) and epididymo-orchitis (EO) are the two most common...
