    Abstract Ureteric strictures are a relatively uncommon complication following renal transplant, which may be managed endoscopically or surgically by repairing the stricture. Extra-anatomical bypass is a useful procedure in complex cases that bypasses the ureter by creating a subcutaneous route, although it is uncommonly used given its rare indication. We report a case of renal transplant ureteric stricture, in which we utilized a modified extra-anatomical stenting technique with a Detour® stent to avoid the fibrotic planes surrounding the lateral aspect of the kidney graft.

    Abstract Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare type of tumor composed mainly of fibroblastic and myofibroblastic spindle cells, with an inflammatory infiltrate of lymphocytes, plasma cells, and eosinophils. IMT may arise from different organs and sites, but it is infrequent to arise from the urinary bladder and usually manifests as hematuria. We report a case of a 24-year-old pregnant woman who presented to our hospital with gross hematuria. After further workup, we concluded that she had this extremely rare tumor, which was resected eventually with a partial cystectomy. Although the diagnosis of these kinds of tumors is usually made by anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) using immunohistochemistry and detecting ALK gene translocation using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), they were negative in our study; hence, we relied mainly on the morphological features of the tumor for the diagnosis.

    Abstract Angiomyolipomas (AML), also known as hamartomas, are benign mesenchymal tumors of the kidneys which consist of vascular tissue, smooth muscles, and adipose tissue, with a higher prevalence in females than males. AML may be associated with tuberous sclerosis, and the growth of the mass may present as hematuria or flank pain. We present a case of a 14-year-old female patient who had a known case of tuberous sclerosis since early childhood. She has a history of numerous bilateral renal masses radiographically consistent with AML. A special and unique entity of our case is the age of presentation which is 14 years and the presence of TSC. In contrast to our case, which was invading the right renal vein and IVC at a young age, AML is well known for its benign nature. According to a recent literature review, the youngest patient reported was 16 years old. Typically, non-complicated AMLs less than 4 cm in size are managed by annual radiological imaging which is preferably a CT scan, while larger AMLs of more than 4 cm that present with perinephric hemorrhages or intralesional aneurysms are treated by partial nephrectomy or selective angioembolization. A radical nephrectomy and IVC thrombectomy are typically necessary due to the risks that the IVC thrombus carries as well as the AML itself and its unpredictable behavior. In cases like ours with the extension into the renal vein and IVC, the surgical approach is similar to the venous invasion of renal cell carcinomas.

    Abstract Purpose In this study, we investigated the association between the body mass index (BMI) and varicocele recurrence post-intervention in our local Saudi population. We also explored the association between recurrence and other predictors such as age, laterality, indication for surgery, type of intervention, clinical grade, testicular delivery, and method of ligation. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study, including all patients who had microscopic varicocelectomy surgery or radiographic embolization for varicoceles over a five-year period. The data included demographic information and intervention-related variables. Descriptive and analytical statistics were used to analyze the data. Results We included 147 patients who had microscopic varicocelectomy surgery or radiographic embolization. We categorized the patients according to their BMI as underweight, normal, overweight, and obese. We found no statistical association between any BMI group and the recurrence of varicocele (P>0.05). However, there was a significant association between the clinical grade and recurrence (P<0.05). Conclusion This study did not show any significant correlation between height, weight, BMI, and varicocele recurrence after an intervention. The only predictor of varicocele recurrence was the clinical grade.

    Abstract Phaeochromocytoma (PHEO) is a neoplasm that arises from chromaffin cells present in the adrenal medulla. The counterpart of the PHEO extra-adrenal is termed paraganglioma (PGL). The urinary bladder PGL is a rare tumour, and it accounts for less than 0.06% of all bladder tumours. In this report, we discuss a case of a young female who presented with symptoms of headache, dizziness, palpitations, and high blood pressure. After workup, she was diagnosed with concurrent urinary bladder PGL and adrenal PHEO, and the genetic study of the whole exon sequence indicated the presence of succinate dehydrogenase-B (SDHB) mutation. Both tumours were treated surgically; however, the patient ultimately developed recurrence, rapid progression, and metastasis. All secondary modalities were unsuccessful, and the patient was referred for palliative treatment and eventually lost to follow-up. PGL should be included in the differential diagnosis of bladder tumours, and testing for SDHB gene mutations should be considered in all urinary PGLs. Therefore, these patients need follow-up and genetic counselling.
