    Abstract Myeloid sarcoma (MS) is an extramedullary tumor mass causing proliferation of mature or immature blast cells of one or more myeloid lineages. Involvement of the genitourinary tract is rare. We present a case of MS of the ureteral wall. A 74-year-old man was evaluated for left hydronephrosis and ipsilateral low back pain. A computed tomography scan showed a nodular formation in the pelvic ureter. Urinary cytology revealed cellular atypia, so ureteroscopy was performed showing a distal ureteral mass. The histological examination of the biopsy revealed to be malignant neoplasm. The patient underwent left laparoscopic nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff excision. Microscopic histological examination revealed a tumor compatible with MS. A postoperative positron emission tomography revealed residual hypercaptation of the bladder, pelvic muscle and iliac nodes, so the patient started chemotherapy. A multidisciplinary approach was required, taking into account the patient's age, the already poor renal function and the location of the neoplasm.

    Abstract Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH) affects at least one-third of men over 60 years. A giant prostatic hyperplasia (GPH) is a prostate enlargement that exceeds 500 g. We present a case of a 72-year-old man with a GPH volume of 1280 ml, referred to our hospital for a worsening of the lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), bilateral loin pain and kidney failure. Although the patient had a negligible post-void residual urine, he had bilateral hydronephrosis. The patient was managed conservatory because of a high anesthesiologic risk but a bilateral percutaneous nephrostomy was placed soon due to kidney function worsening. The presence of serious comorbidities and the resolution of the loin pain and the renal failure, achieved first with the nephrostomy and then with periodic replacement of ureteral stents, along with an improvement of the LUTS obtained with medical therapy, have oriented us towards a conservative management of the patient.

    Abstract Objective: The aim of the study is to make a review of the literature about bladder malakoplakia.
    Material and methods: We searched articles on the PUBMED web-literature database with the following keywords: "vesical malakoplakia" and "bladder malakoplakia". In the literature we found 254 articles. At final we have excluded 219 articles, including in our study only 35 articles.
    Results: The overall average age found was 50.85 years. The average age of men was 43.22 years, while that of women was 53.37 years. 75% of the patient cases were women and 25% were men. Regarding comorbidities, in 5.55% of the cases were missing whereas 47.22% of the patients suffered from recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI) and 19.44% from immune system disorders. Urine culture was positive in 69.44% with E.coli being isolated in 92% of cases. Hydroureteronephrosis was present in 44.44% of the cases: left in 6.25% of cases, right in 18.75% and bilateral in 75%. The mean serum creatinine of patients with hydroureteronephrosis was 5.11 (1-21) mg/dl. The most frequent site of the lesion was the vesicoureteral junction (VUJ) (42.31%), followed by the trigone (38.46%). 30.56% of patients were treated with antibiotic and surgery (transurethral resection of bladder, partial or radical cystectomy), less frequent options were antibiotics alone and surgery alone. The recurrence rate was 15%.
    Conclusions: Malakoplakia is a disorder usually related to other affections, like UTI and immunodepression, and it seem to be caused by an abnormal macrophage function. In almost half of the described cases of isolated bladder malakoplakia, hydroureteronephrosis and renal failure were present.Treatment is not standardized, but both medical and surgical therapies are effective to avoid recurrence.

    Abstract The SARS-CoV-2 (Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) was first reported in December 2019, then its rapid spread around the world caused a global pandemic in March 2020 recording a high death rate. The epicenter of the victims moved from Asia to Europe and then to the United States. In this Pandemic, the different governance mechanisms adopted by local health regional authorities made the difference in terms of contagiousness and mortality together with a community strong solidarity. This document analyzes the andrological urgencies management in public hospitals and in private practice observed in Italy and in particular in the most affected Italian Regions: Emilia-Romagna and Marche.

    Abstract Sunitinib is an orally available inhibitor of multiple tyrosine-kinase receptors approved for the treatment of advanced clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), a disease which has habitually had a very poor patient survival rate. Although it has become the most widely used drug for this disease, it remains not completely clear the best treatment strategy with these agent. The aim of this review is to highlight the most recent and interesting aspects of the research on treatment of advanced ccRCC with sunitinib and eventually determine alternative treatment schedule to reduce the incidence of side effects; we also wanted to review recent biomarkers able to predict response to therapy and also to point out the mechanism of acquired resistance to this drug.

    Titelübersetzung Association between trauma and cancer of the testis: the importance of self-palpation of the testis for the early detection: two case reports.
    Abstract Introduction: Cancer of the testis is not always early detected and recognised, both by the physician and by the patient: sometimes physicians do not make an accurate genitals exam while patients often underestimate this problem.
    Case reports: Case I: 42-year-old man accepted from another hospital's Emergency, because of pain and edema of the right testis after a recent trauma on the gonad. At US, evidence of increased volume of the right testis with a large intraparenchymal hematoma. The markers were higher than normal. We performed a right orchiecthomy. The pathologist noted the presence of a mixed cancer of the testis (95% embryonal, 5% seminoma). Case II: 49-year-old man with hematuria, accepted from Emergency. The abdominal US revealed the presence of a voluminous neoformation (diameter of 12 cm) of the right kidney with neoplastic thrombosis of the right kidney vein. At the general physical exam, we detected the presence of an increased right testis, that at the US appared to be suspicious for cancer. Tumor markers were normal with the exception of αFP. We performed right nephro-adrenalectomy, right orchiectomy and removal of local nodes. The definitive histological examination demonstrated the presence of a seminoma of the testis and papillary carcinoma of the kidney with node metastasis.
    Discussion: Current studies showed an association between trauma and cancer of the testis, even if some authors did not find this association because they consider that patients with trauma undergo US and in that occasion cancer is incidentally detected.
    Conclusions: The association between trauma and cancer of the testis is controversial in current studies. Furthermore screening for the cancer of the testis does not seem to be useful, even if the self- and the physician's palpation of the testis seem to be very important because in these two cases they should allow the early detection of the condition, with a resulting better prognosis.

    Abstract Objectives: To establish whether repeated trans-rectal ultrasound-guided Prostate Needle Biopsies (PNBx) performed in men with diagnosis of Small Acinar Atypical Proliferation (ASAP) predispose these subjects to Erectile Dysfunction (ED) and to evaluate if EcoColorDoppler (ECD) can help to reduce this side effect.
    Materials and methods: We performed a retrospective study regarding 190 men with diagnosis of ASAP detected between January 2001 and December 2011, who underwent to repeated prostate needle biopsies (PNBx). These patients were investigated about Erectile Function (EF) and Lower Urinary tract Symptoms (LUTS) using International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) and International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) questionnaires before the first PNBx and 3 months after each other one. In particular, among the 89 men without ED before first PNBx, we compared IIEF-5 score between 64 patients who underwent to standard PNBx and 25 patients submitted to a PNBx done with in addition ECD ultrasound imaging.
    Results: Mean patient age was 65 years (SD 7.7); mean follow-up was 3.2 years (SD 1.8) and the mean number of re-biopsies completed was 2 (SD 1.5). Among the 143 men considered, only 89 resulted with a normal EF (IIEF-5 score > 21): in this group incidence of ED (IIEF-5 score < 21) among patients who underwent to standard PNBx was 4/64 (6.25%) while in patients submitted to a PNBx with ECD was 1/25 (4%). A greater decrease of EF was observed in patients undergone to 3 or more biopsies; no relationship between IPSS score and re-PNBx was identified.
    Conclusion: Repeated PNBx done in patients with diagnosis of ASAP appear to get worse EF; number of biopsies seems to increase the risk of ED. Use of ECD in transrectal ultrasound- guided PNBx may have a role to avoid neurovascular bundles (NVBs) and preserve EF; anyway further studies are highly recommended to validate this hypothesis.

    Abstract Aim: We evaluated the effectiveness of tamsulosin monotherapy versus tamsulosin plus sildenafil combination therapy on erectile dysfunction (ED) in young patients with type III chronic prostatitis and ED by using symptom score scales.
    Materials and methods: 44 male patients were divided into 2 groups: the first group (20 patients) was treated with tamsulosin 0,4 mg monotherapy and the second one 24 patients) was treated with tamsulosin 0,4 mg plus sildenafil 50 mg combination therapy. “International Prostate Symptom Score, “National Institute of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index" (NIH-CPSI) and “International Index of Erectile Function" (IIEF-5) were investigated in each group of patients, and scores calculated during the first medical examination. Both groups were treated with tamsulosin once daily for 60 days, while sildenafil 50 mg was given on demand (at least 2 times per week) for 60 days. During the second medical examination IPSS, NIH-CPSI and IIEF-5 scores were analyzed once more. Afterwards, the alterations of scores among medical examinations in each group and between both groups were statistically compared.
    Results: The age average of the 44 cases included was 32.04 3.15 years. Both groups present a statistically significant decrease, between the first and the second medical examination, in IPSS, NIH-CPSI scores and statistically significant increase in IIEF-5 score. In addition, there is no statistically significant difference, in all scores, between mono and combination therapy.
    Conclusions: tamsulosin monotherapy, as well as a combination therapy (tamsulosin plus sildenafil) has an improving effect on symptoms and on ED in patients with type III prostatitis. In the near future alpha-blockers monotherapy could be used in the treatment of chronic prostatitis and ED cases instead of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5) inhibitors combination therapy.

    Abstract Fournier's gangrene (FG) is a disease involving necrosis of perineum and external genitalia; in 95% of cases it is possible to diagnose the Fournier's gangrene just by physical examination. The clinical presentation of FG varies from an initial localized infection to large areas with necrotizing infection. The disease typically affect elderly men (6°-7° decade) with important systemic comorbidities; women are less frequently affected. Despite improvements in diagnosis and management, the mortality rate nowadays is between 20% and 43%. The severity and mortality of the disease is dependent upon the general condition of the patient at presentation and upon the rate of spread of the infection. Treatment involves a multidisciplinary approach: intensive systematic management, broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy, early surgical debridement (wide abscission of necrotic tissues and surgical drainage of peritoneum, scrotum, penis, and inguinal areas), hyperbaric oxygen therapy; surgery can eventually be repeated if necessary; reconstructive surgery has an important role in the final treatment of the disease. The technical difficulties frequently encountered and the inability to make a complete removal of the necrotizing tissues at the time of surgery in some cases has led to the application of combined techniques, in view of the enhancement effect of specific advanced medications, targeted antibiotic therapy and hyperbaric medicine. We have considered 6 patients affected by Fournier's gangrene treated at our institution; all the patients received treatment with the help of plastic surgeons of the same institution. After debridement, all the patients were treated with advanced specific dressings consisting of plates and strips made of calcium alginate, hydrogels and polyurethane and twodimensional cavity foams. Reconstructive surgery was necessary in one case. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) has been performed in all cases. The multidisciplinary approach, the combined use of HBO therapy and the adoption of advanced specific dressings, have made possible the complete healing of the lesions in a shorter period, avoiding further surgery in 5 out of 6 patients.
