    Abstract Testicular epidermoid cysts have characteristic findings. Testicular tumor markers are negative in patients with epidermoid cysts. Clear margins and sole and small testicular tumors (20 mm or less) suggest the possibility of epidermoid cyst. Testicular-sparing surgery with intraoperative frozen section examination should be performed when suspecting epidermoid cysts. Testicular epidermoid cysts are rare tumors that account for 1% of all testicular tumors and are often clinically misdiagnosed as malignant lesions. We report three cases of epidermoid cysts. The chief manifestations were scrotal induration in two patients and pruritus scrotum in one. The median age of the patients was 23 years (18-30). All tumors were determined to be sole lesions (<20 mm in diameter). Testing for tumor markers in all patients revealed negative results. We could not rule out malignancy; hence, we performed high inguinal orchiectomy in all cases. Histologically, the inner walls of the cysts were lined with stratified squamous epithelium; their contents were keratinized. All patients were diagnosed with epidermoid cysts.

    Abstract Objectives: We investigated the clinical outcomes of radical cystectomy without cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and identified factors affecting the effectiveness of cisplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy (AC).
    Methods: Between September 2002 and February 2020, 288 bladder cancer patients who did not receive NAC underwent radical cystectomy. We retrospectively analyzed the recurrence rates, primary recurrence sites, recurrence-free survival (RFS), and overall survival (OS) of 115 advanced bladder cancer patients (pT3-4 or pN1-3) who were divided into the AC and observation groups. Subgroup analysis was performed, focusing on pathological stage.
    Results: In total, 51 patients received AC, and 64 patients were observed. The median follow-up duration was 95 months. The recurrence rate was lower in the AC group than in the observation group (35.3% vs. 54.7%, p = 0.041). The rate of recurrences in the lymph node area (dissection site and proximal lymph nodes) was lower in the AC group (9.8% vs. 26.6%; p = 0.031). In the subgroup analysis of patients with pN1, the probability of RFS and OS was higher in the AC group than in the observation group. The hazard ratio for RFS and OS was 0.243 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.077-0.768) and 0.259 (95% CI: 0.082-0.816), respectively. The 5-year RFS and OS were significantly higher in the AC group (80.0% and 79.4%) than in the observation group (35.7% and 42.9%; p < 0.008 and p < 0.012, respectively).
    Conclusions: AC improved RFS and OS in patients with pN1 disease who did not receive NAC and should be considered for this population.

    Abstract (Objectives) We evaluated the association between immune-related adverse events (irAEs) and the efficacy of pembrolizumab therapy in patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma. (Methods) Data of 42 patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma treated with pembrolizumab between May 2018 and February 2020 were retrospectively analyzed to determine the association between irAEs and objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). (Results) IrAEs were observed in 19 patients (45.2%). Objective response was observed in 15 patients (35.7%). Thirteen (68.4%) of 19 patients who experienced irAEs showed an objective response, whereas two (8.70%) of 23 patients who did not experience irAEs (odds ratio: 15.0, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.70-738, P=0.006). PFS and OS in the irAE group were longer than those in the non-irAE group (PFS: hazard ratio: 0.24, 95% CI: 0.11-0.54, P<0.001; OS: hazard ratio: 0.11, 95% CI: 0.03-0.37, P<0.001). (Conclusions) During pembrolizumab treatment, the occurrence of irAEs was significantly associated with higher response and survival prolongation in patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma.

    Abstract In January 2005, a 66-year-old man underwent radical cystectomy and ileal neobladder reconstruction for invasive bladder cancer. A total of 3 years after the cystectomy, left-side ureteral cancer was diagnosed, and a nephroureterectomy was carried out in May 2008. In October 2011, he complained of asymptomatic macroscopic hematuria. We detected multiple papillary pedunculated and broad-based tumors in the left side and the dome of the neobladder. The patient underwent transurethral resection of the bladder tumor, and a pathological diagnosis of high-grade pTa urothelial carcinoma was made. A total of 4 months later, tumors recurred in the right side and anterior wall of the neobladder. We carried out transurethral resection of the bladder tumor again; the pathological diagnosis was high-grade pTa urothelial carcinoma with carcinoma in situ. Bacillus Calmette-Guérin instillation was carried out seven times into the neobladder, without any severe side-effects. Tumor recurrence was not observed up to 8 months after bacillus Calmette-Guérin treatment.

    Abstract Objectives: To determine the incidence and location of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis in patients undergoing radical cystectomy.
    Methods: We performed radical cystectomy in 137 patients with bladder cancer between August 2014 and February 2020. Since 2014, we have had a policy to screen for deep vein thrombosis using lower extremity ultrasonography both before and after radical cystectomy. We determined the incidence and location of deep vein thrombosis and classified it as either proximal or distal type. Furthermore, we explored the incidence of pulmonary embolism within 3 months after radical cystectomy.
    Results: After excluding six patients with a lack of ultrasonographic data, we evaluated 131 patients. Preoperative deep vein thrombosis (one proximal and 17 distal) was diagnosed in 18 patients (14%) with no symptoms. Postoperative deep vein thrombosis was diagnosed in 41 patients (31%; three proximal and 38 distal), of whom 26 (63%) had new-onset deep vein thrombosis after cystectomy. Three patients, two with proximal and one with distal type deep vein thrombosis, developed nonfatal pulmonary embolism postoperatively. Multivariate analysis showed that preoperative D-dimer levels (odds ratio 5.35, 95% confidence interval 1.74-16.50; P < 0.003), type of urinary diversion (ileal neobladder; odds ratio 11.15, 95% confidence interval 2.16-57.55; P = 0.004), and preoperative deep vein thrombosis (odds ratio 15.93, 95% confidence interval 3.82-66.30; P < 0.001) were significant risk factors for postoperative deep vein thrombosis.
    Conclusions: Pre- and post-radical cystectomy whole-leg ultrasonography can lead to an early perioperative diagnosis and immediate treatment of proximal deep vein thrombosis, thereby potentially preventing fatal pulmonary embolism.

    Abstract Purpose: To determine major risk factors for bladder cancer (BC) recurrence after nephroureterectomy (Nux) by focusing on the pathologic appearances of tumors in upper urinary tract urothelial carcinomas (UUTUCs).
    Methods: We performed 147 Nux procedures between November 2002 and September 2015. Forty-eight patients were excluded because of a history of BC (28 patients), previous or concurrent radical cystectomy (9 patients), neoadjuvant chemotherapy (5 patients), and other reasons (6 patients). We classified UUTUCs into three types: renal pelvic, short-length ureteral, and long-length ureteral cancer; the cutoff for categorizing short- versus long-length ureteral cancer was the median tumor length. Univariate and multivariate analyses with Cox regression methods were performed to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) for BC recurrence using nine clinical covariates, including our new pathologic classification.
    Results: The median follow-up period for the survivors was 60 months (range 1-157 months). Of 99 patients, 36 (36%) had BC recurrence; of these 36 patients, 30 (85%) experienced recurrence within 2 years and 17 (47%) had invasive BC (≥pT1). Statistical analyses demonstrated that pathologic tumor type was the major significant risk factor for BC recurrence. Long-length (>5 cm) ureteral cancer had the highest risk of BC recurrence compared to other tumor types (multivariate HR 2.1; 95% confidence interval 1.03-4.2).
    Conclusions: Our simple classification system based on the tumor's pathologic appearance is useful for predicting BC recurrence. Patients with long-length ureteral cancer have a high risk of BC recurrence.

    Abstract IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an immune-mediated fibroinflammatory disorder that can occur in almost all systemic organs and generally responds to corticosteroid treatment. We report a rare case of an IgG4-related intrapelvic mass lesion that responded to steroid therapy but caused a fistula between the sigmoid colon and bladder. A 71-year-old man was followed after treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma. Follow-up computed tomography (CT) incidentally depicted left hydronephrosis with an ill-demarcated intrapelvic mass lesion. This lesion was histologically diagnosed as IgG4-RD by open biopsy, and peroral steroid therapy was initiated. One month after starting steroids, a colovesical fistula was detected by follow-up CT. A colostomy and urethral catheterization were emergently performed. The patient recovered and the mass lesion was drastically minimized by the initiation of glucocorticoids; however, he still needs urethral catheterization. IgG4-RD develops in various systemic organs and generally responds well to steroids. Clinicians must be watchful for the complications of responses to corticosteroids, such as fistulization, when the mass lesion of IgG4-RD is adjacent to multiple luminal organs.

    Abstract Postoperative superior mesenteric artery syndrome is a rare complication of left nephrectomy. We treated a case of superior mesenteric artery syndrome that occurred 7 days after radical left nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma. The patient was a 54-year-old Japanese man who presented with gross hematuria. Abdominal computed tomography showed a 3.8 x 3.8 x 5 cm heterogeneous cystic mass in the left kidney. Transperitoneal left radical nephrectomy was performed because renal cell carcinoma was suspected. The patient resumed oral intake 3 days after surgery, but he began vomiting repeatedly from the 7th day after surgery. Gastroduodenography showed an abrupt vertical linear obstruction of the third portion of the duodenum. Superior mesenteric artery syndrome was diagnosed. Conservative therapy (indwelling nasogastric tube, intravenous hyperalimentation and postural changes) was effective.

    Abstract A 59-year-old man visited our hospital complaining of epigastralgia. A large hard mass was palpable in the abdominal cavity. Abdominal computed tomography revealed large retroperitoneal cystic tumors. His left testis was hard and swollen. Under the diagnosis of testicular tumor and retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis, left radical orchiectomy was performed and the histopathological examination showed mature teratoma. He was diagnosed with nonseminomatous germ cell tumor and retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis (TNM classification stage IIC). He received three cycles of chemotherapy with bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin and we performed retroperitoneal residual tumor resection. Because the tumor tightly adhered to the aortic wall, abdominal aorta was resected and replaced by an artificial vessel. The post-operative course was uneventful. Histopathological diagnosis was cystopapillary adenocarcinoma and mature teratoma. The patient is well 1 and a half years after the operation without recurrence.

    Abstract Purpose: To determine the incidence and prognosis of prostatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
    Materials and methods: From November 2002 to December 2005, we performed 122 radical prostatectomies and pelvic lymph node dissections. We further analyzed 64 cases after excluding 56 cases that had received neoadjuvant hormone therapy and two cases for which we were only able to perform limited follow-up examinations. We reviewed all of the surgical specimens and reclassified them according to the 2004 WHO classification system. We differentiated prostatic cases of ductal adenocarcinoma that were larger than 5 mm in diameter from cases of acinar adenocarcinomas. We then examined these two groups for the pathological stages of the neoplasms and the incidence of postoperative prostate-specific antigen (PSA) failure. Postoperative PSA failure was defined as a PSA value more than 0.2 ng/ml.
    Results: We found eight cases (12%) of prostatic ductal adenocarcinoma among the 64 cases treated with radical prostatectomies. The mean age (+/- SD) of these patients was 65.3 (+/- 4.3) years old, and the mean PSA level (+/- SD) was 12.4 (+/- 5.4) ng/ml. Seven of the cases (11%) were mixed-type ductal adenocarcinomas, which contained acinar and ductal components. In addition, one case was identified as pure ductal adenocarcinoma. Seminal vesicle invasion was detected in four cases and lymph nodes metastases were identified in one case. During the follow-up period, four of the eight cases of ductal adenocarcinoma (50%) and twelve of the 56 cases of acinar adenocarcinoma (21%) showed postoperative PSA failure. The median follow-up period was 24 months (range: 12 to 48 months).
    Conclusions: We identified eight cases of ducal adenocarcinoma (12% of the examined cases), which suggests this disease is not as rare as previously reported. Compared to the cases of acinar adenocarcinoma, the cases of ductal adenocarcinoma were at a more advanced pathological stage and resulted in a higher rate of postoperative PSA failure. Therefore, we believe that patients that show even a limited degree of ductal adenocarcinoma should receive aggressive therapy.
