Neuroblastoma (NBL) of the urinary bladder is an extremely rare diagnosis, with only 6 cases reported in the literature to date. We report the case of a 3-year-old boy who presented with gross hematuria, and was diagnosed with bladder NBL after partial cystectomy. Two-year follow-up has been unremarkable. This case highlights a rare neoplasm of the urinary bladder in a pediatric patient.

We herein present a case involving a 23-year-old woman with gross hematuria. Cystoscopy revealed abnormal areas of the mucosa along the anterior and posterior bladder walls. These abnormalities were suspicious for neoplasia; however, a diagnosis was not established by subsequent biopsy. The patient underwent transurethral resection biopsy in which an isolated lesion along the anterior wall was completely resected and the others were left untreated. Pathologic examination and special staining led to a diagnosis of amyloidosis, and the patient elected to undergo transurethral surgery 1 month later. During the operation, the intravesical lesions were found to have significantly improved in both the treated and untreated sites. The operation was cancelled, follow-up was arranged, and no other treatment was administered. Repeat cystoscopy examinations at 3 and 9 months after surgery showed that the lesions had almost completely disappeared.

A 39-year-old male presented with recurrent attacks of painless haematuria. The patient has a history of partial cystectomy for bladder paraganglioma 10 years prior to the presentation. Imaging study and cystoscopic examination revealed a small anterior wall bladder tumor. The histological examination of the lesion confirmed that it was a urinary paraganglioma. Partial cystectomy was performed to this recurrent lesion. This case report stresses the importance of life-long follow-up of these lesions.

Abstract Background Small intestine duplication cysts (SIDCs) are rare congenital anatomical abnormalities of the digestive tract and a rare cause of hematochezia. Case presentation We describe an adult female presented with recurrent hematochezia. The routine gastric endoscope and colonic endoscope showed no positive findings. Abdominal CT scan indicated intussusception due to the "doughnut" sign, but the patient had no typical symptoms. Two subsequent capsule endoscopes revealed a protruding lesion with bleeding in the distal ileum. Surgical resection was performed and revealed a case of SIDC measuring 6 * 2 cm located inside the ileum cavity. The patient remained symptom-free throughout a 7-year follow-up period. Conclusion SIDCs located inside the enteric cavity can easily be misdiagnosed as intussusception by routine radiologic examinations.

The ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) is a mixed odontogenic tumor, with characteristics of ameloblastic fibroma, presenting enamel and dentin, which occurs more frequently in individuals aged 5 to 17 years. This paper reports na extensive case of ameloblastic fibro-odontoma in the mandible of a 3-year-old patient, discussed in comparison to cases selected from a brief literature review on the clinical characteristics, Evolution and therapeutic options for this lesion. In the last years, there was no consensus in the literature concerning its etiopathogenesis and classification, yet recently the AFO was classified as a developing odontoma. This case is in accordance with the 7 cases reported in the literature of AFO in the mandible of children aged 10 years or younger, especially concerning the lesion pattern and evolution and treatment adopted. The patient did not present relapse and exhibited local bone regeneration at the 3-year follow-up.

Cyproterone acetate (CPA) is an anti-androgenic drug that has been used to manage prostate cancer. The drug is well-tolerated, but has hepatotoxic effects. Hepatic failure induced by CPA is rare and urologists tend to overlook its severity. We report a patient with metastatic prostate cancer who developed CPA-induced hepatic failure that manifested as bilirubinuria, which was initially misinterpreted as gross hematuria. The patient died despite receiving critical care. The aim of this study is to sound the alarm about CPA-induced hepatic failure.
