We report a case of a 41-year-old man with a solitary functioningleft kidney and history of chronic pelvic discomfort associatedwith lower urinary tract symptoms. Imaging revealed a largecystic structure in the pelvis attached to a dilated tortuous ureteron the right with congenital absence of the right kidney. The patientunderwent laparoscopic removal of the pelvic cyst and dilatedright ureter. Pathological assessment revealed mesonephric remnantsrepresenting dysplastic renal tissue attached to a dilated andobstructed megaureter, extending into the bladder wall and forminga large pelvic cyst. The patient’s symptoms resolved. A laparoscopicapproach represents an excellent surgical option for pelvicpathology.Nous décrivons le cas d’un homme de 41 ans porteur d’un seulrein fonctionnel (gauche) et ayant des antécédents de douleurspelviennes chroniques liées à des symptômes affectant les voiesurinaires inférieures. Les épreuves d’imagerie ont révélé une massekystique volumineuse au niveau du pelvis, une dilatation et unesinuosité urétérales du côté droit et l’absence congénitale derein droit. Le patient a subi une ablation par laparoscopie du kystepelvien et de la section dilatée de l’uretère droit. L’évaluationpathologique a révélé des vestiges mésonéphriques constituésde tissu rénal dysplasique lié à un méga-uretère obstrué avec dilatationkystique se prolongeant dans la paroi vésicale et formant ainsiun kyste pelvien volumineux. Les symptômes du patient ont disparu.Une approche laparoscopique représente une excellenteoption chirurgicale en présence de pathologie pelvienne.

Migration and embedding of an intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) in the urinary bladder wall is rare. We present such a case of a 30-year-old woman with complaints of persistent lower urinary tract symptoms and a history of IUCD placement 8 years earlier. The IUCD was successfully removed with cystoscopy alone. The patient recovered well and had her second baby after the surgery without complaints of new urinary symptoms.

Malignant lymphomas of the prostate are very rare tumours and are generally not considered in the clinical or pathological diagnosis of prostatic enlargement. We report a case of a 56-year-old man who presented with long-standing history of low back pain and a 2-month history of voiding lower urinary tract symptoms. He denied any history of urinary retention, trauma, catheterisation or any constitutional symptoms. Examination revealed no lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly. Digital rectal examination showed an irregular, moderately enlarged nodular prostate. His prostate-specific antigen was 1.54 ng/mL. MRI of the pelvis did not show any focal lesion apart from abnormal signal intensity in the central zone. Bone scan was negative. Transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy revealed diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Bone marrow biopsy and whole body positron emission tomography/CT were unremarkable. The patient achieved complete remission after receiving six cycles of R-CHOP chemotherapy.

A 57-year-old man presented with a 6-month history of pelvic fullness. He had no lower urinary tract symptoms or altered bowel habits. On examination, there was a non-tender pelvic mass which extended from the pubic symphysis to the level of the umbilicus. CT scan of the abdomen demonstrated a 22×11×11 cm cystic mass arising from the pelvis extending into the midline and superiorly to the umbilicus. Other than raised carcinoembryonic antigen of 7.6 ng/mL (<5.0), the remainder of his blood test were unremarkable. Flexible cystoscopy demonstrated a convex deformity of the bladder wall in keeping with the compression and displacement as seen on the CT. The patient underwent an open excision of the cystic structure (urachal remnant), partial cystectomy, partial excision of anterior abdominal wall and pelvic lymphadenectomy. A check cystogram performed 12 days following the initial operation was unremarkable.

Intrauterine device is the most widely used method of reversible contraception. It may cause various complications including perforation of uterus. In this case, 44-year-old woman was presented with lower urinary tract symptoms after six years of insertion. Patient has no remarkable physical or laboratory finding but abdominal ultrasound revealed a 27 mm hyperechogenicity, suggestive of foreign body or calculus on the posterior bladder wall which was removed endoscopically. This case highlights the need of immediate and periodic evaluation of women with intrauterine device to avoid missing serious complications.

Abstract Aim Urodynamic studies (UDS) are physiological measurements of voiding and storage function of the lower urinary tract that are commonly performed in clinical practice to investigate bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms. Despite considerable efforts to improve UDS, standardisation of the practice remains to be challenging. This audit thus, presents a review the current UDS referral process and analysis of the clinical details included on urodynamic requests. Method This audit included retrospective data from 112 patients between March and Oct 2020, 98 of which had UDS performed. Patient electronic records, referral forms and clinic letters were all used for data collection. Results Data shows that 47% of patients were females with average age of 56 years, range (16-86) years. The reason of UDS was clearly stated in 8 referrals only and the clinical examination findings were clearly mentioned in 31% only. More than three quarters of patients (i.e., 77%) had assessment of post void residual prior to UDS, but half of the proportion had no history of relevant medications. In 98 patients who had UDS done, the main findings showed that 4 patients had normal studies, 3 with dysfunctional voiding, 7 had bladder outflow obstruction, 32 patients were diagnosed with detrusor overactivity, 12 had stress incontinence and 7 showed detrusor underactivity. Conclusions Finding of this audit clearly suggest a level of unclarity in the great majority of referrals. Evidently, key history of relevant medication is overlooked in half of the referrals. Improvements to the current pathway to UDS is therefore pivotal.

Primary mature retroperitoneal teratomas are rare tumors most commonly occurring in adult females. These tumors are usually asymptomatic since they have no attachments to specific organs. We present a rare case of a 28-year-old male with 2-month history of lower urinary tract symptoms, who was found to have a primary mature cystic teratoma abutting the prostate.
