A 36-year-old male was referred to our department for further examination of asymptomatic gross hematuria emanating from a bladder tumor. Cystoscopy revealed a broad-based tumor 40 mm in diameter. Urinary cytology was negative. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging suggested a muscle invasive tumor. Transurethral resection was performed, and the pathological findings revealed an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor. We herein report a rare case of bladder inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor.

Contrast Enhanced Computed Tomography

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare tumor with malignant potential, and it has been described in many major organs. However, bladder location is very uncommon. We report the case of a 23-year-old women presented with painless gross hematuria last for 2 weeks. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed a bladder tumor. The patient underwent a open partial cystectomy and the final pathologic diagnosis was inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of bladder. Typical IMTs can be locally aggressive, thus close follow-up is necessary.

Spontaneous osteonecrosis of the knee (SPONK) usually involves a single condyle, most often the medial femoral condyle (MFC). Involvement of the medial tibial plateau (MTP) is less common, occurring in about 2% of knees with SPONK. Early onset SPONK on the ipsilateral side of the medial compartment is very rare, with, to our knowledge, only four cases reported to date. We describe a very rare case of SPONK with early simultaneous development in the MFC and MTP. Serial plain radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging showed that SPONK in both condyles followed a similar progressive course. The pathological findings in these lesions were similar to those observed in subchondral insufficiency fractures.

Abstract OBJECTIVE A rare case of cerebellopontine angle arachnoid cyst manifesting as hemifacial spasm (HFS) is reported. The patient is a 42-year-old woman with 10-month history of left HFS. A preoperative magnetic resonance imaging scan showed a well-demarcated area, hypointense on T1-weighted imaging and hyperintense on T2-weighted imaging, in the left cerebellopontine angle, without contrast enhancement, resembling an arachnoid cyst. METHODS The cyst was excised with microneurosurgical technique and the facial, vestibular, and acoustic nerves were completely decompressed from the arachnoid wall. RESULTS The postoperative course was uneventful, and the left HFS disappeared immediately. Histologically, the cyst wall was a typical arachnoidal membrane. Ten months after surgery, the patient is symptom free. CONCLUSION It is well-known that in approximately 10% of cases, trigeminal neuralgia can be caused by a space-occupying mass. However, the fact that HFS can also be caused by organic lesions as well as neurovascular compression is less well-known. Although the occurrence of tumor compression causing HFS has been previously recognized, cerebellopontine angle cysts have very rarely been described. The observation of a patient with a cerebellopontine angle arachnoid cyst causing HFS prompted us to review the literature relative to HFS caused by an organic lesion rather than neurovascular compression.

A 59-year-old man was referred to our hospital complaining of asymptomatic gross hematuria. Cystoscopy revealed a papillary tumor 8 cm in diameter filling the bladder. The patient underwent transurethral resection of the bladder tumor. The pathological findings revealed the sarcomatoid variant of urothelial carcinoma with a heterologous osteosarcomatous element. He had no metastasis according to our imaging analyses; thus, we planned radical cystectomy after two courses of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (gemcitabine and cisplatin). Following chemotherapy, enlarged pelvic lymph nodes were noted, and extremely aggressive local progression of the bladder tumor was confirmed. The patient ultimately died 6 months after his initial visit to our hospital.

Abstract A rare case of a radiolucent osteoma of the skull is reported. The radiological and pathological findings of this lesion, including magnetic resonance imaging findings, are presented, and the efficacy of magnetic resonance imaging for the diagnosis of this skull tumor is evaluated. The differential diagnosis of radiolucent bone tumors is discussed.

298 Background: Since transurethral resection of bladder tumor in one piece (TURBO) was reported in the Journal of Urology in 2000 by Ukai, some urologists carried out TURBO. We analyzed treatment results of TURBO in our hospital and examined the value of this procedure, especially for the pathological findings, recurrence and necessity of second TUR for TURBO. Methods: A total of 14 patients with bladder tumors carried out TURBO under spinal anesthesia, in some cases blocking the obtulater nerve, from April 2006 to June 2009 in our hospital. All cases were followed for over 1 year. The procedure is 1. point marking; 2. circular incision; 3. level incision; and 4. specimen retrieval using a needle electrode in accordance with the Ukai's method. We investigated pathological findings (margin situation), operation time, complications and recurrence. Results: It is possible to diagnose the precise pathlogical findings by TURBO. We judged the width and depth ew in sequential section. There were no complications during and after the operation. Operation time of TURBO (35–170 min) was longer than TUR-BT. Urethral catheter holding period and hospitalization period after TURBO was the same as TUR-BT. TURBO is a relatively safe procedure even for beginners. 5 cases had a recurrence in 13 cases. 2 cases had a recurrence in under 1 year, but the locations were other places. One case had a same place recurrence after 13 months. There were no cases of same place recurrence in under 1 year among margin-negative cases. Therfore we judged that ew-negative cases had no residual cancers. Conclusions: TURBO is a safe and useful procedure that provides precise pathological findings with minimal complications. Second TUR is not necessary for TURBO. TURBO has a possibility to be gold standard of the treatment for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Background: Treatment of bladder tumor still provides the romance in Urology. The purpose of this study is to study the prevalence of various types of bladder tumors, to compare various treatment modalities for bladder tumors, to study different presentations of patients with bladder tumor.Methods: The present study was a prospective analytical study of 30 patients of bladder tumor conducted at Dhiraj General Hospital attached to S.B.K.S Medical College from October 2011 to July 2013. All the details of patients in term of demography, risk factors, symptoms and sign, radiological, endoscopic, histopathological features, various treatment modalities offered, and follow-up of patients were studied and analysed using descriptive statistics.Results: Maximum number of patients was presented in sixth decade of life. Youngest patient was 30 years old and oldest patient was 77 years old. 80% patients were male, and 20% patients were female. History of smoking was present in 22 patients, history of exposure to occupational hazards was present in 4 patients and only 2 patients had positive family history. Majority 93.3% patients were presented with haematuria and 16 patients had anaemia. 15 patients had high grade muscle invasive TCC, followed by 10 patients with low grade non-muscle invasive TCC. 3 patients were having low grade non-muscle invasive SCC, 1 patient was having high grade muscle invasive SCC and 1 patient was having high grade non-muscle invasive TCC.Conclusions: The findings of the study conclude that TURBT followed by intravesical instillation of BCG gave good results in patients with low grade and high grade non-muscle invasive tumor. For muscle invasive tumor radical cystectomy with urinary diversion is the ideal treatment but TURBT followed by radiotherapy has also given good results with fewer side effects.
