ABSTRACT A 3 year old female feline of mixed breed was sent to the diagnostic imaging sector under suspicion of bleeding due to ovariohysterectomy. An abdominal ultrasonography was performed to confirm the initial suspicion. However, no signs of bleeding were found, instead it was observed that the left renal silhouette had two pelvises and was elongated and larger than normal. The right kidney was not found. Excretory urography was requested to evaluate the condition of the ureters. The final diagnosis was crossed renal ectopia with fusion in an asymptomatic cat with no changes in renal function.

Herein we present a case of crossed renal ectopia with an unusual type of fusion, discovered incidentally in a 11-year-old girl presented with recurrent urinary tract infections. Both kidneys were located on the right side of the body fused in their upper poles only, forming an inverted U shape. After reviewing the published data on this topic, we found that most of the described anomalies were within the six well-known types of fusion anomalies. This child had an unusual clinical presentation of severe hydronephrosis of the orthotopic kidney. A unique surgical technique to correct the pathology to be able to preserve the residual mass of that kidney was performed.

Introduction: Supernumerary nipples are common anomalies which may be associated with several systemic disorders, particularly urinary tract abnormalities.   Case report: Here we report a case of a 4½ year old male presenting to the pediatric out patient clinic with fever for three days and recurrent sinopulmonary infections. The child had supernumerary nipples over the right side with deformed thoracic cage, congenital scoliosis, diastematomyelia, crossed renal ectopia, and spina bifida. All the conditions present together did not match any syndrome reported till date.   Conclusion: This was a rare syndrome and did not match fully with any known syndromes till date. This case warranted further investigation for its definite diagnosis but we do not have resources to that extent.

Background. Any large missing part of the ureter may be replaced by transureteroureterostomy, psoas hitch, Boari flap, nephrectomy, renal autotransplanation or by the implementation of an intestinal graft. Case report. A patient with a defect of the lumbal- pelvic portion of the right ureter, after the management of a penetrating and perforating gun shot wound was presented. The missing part of the ureter was successfully replaced with an appendix. The technique of uretero-transappendixcystoneostomy complete with a Boari flap and a psoas hitch was used. Conclusion. By the use of an original combination of surgical techniques, a large defect of the ureter and the defect of the bladder, as well as the preservation of the renal function was achieved in a more successful manner.

A 55-year-old man sought medical attention because of the right flank pain. He was anemic with impaired renal function and was admitted to the hospital. Computer tomography demonstrated bilateral hydronephrosis due to ureteral obstruction. Biopsy of both ureters and immunohistochemical staining led to the final diagnosis of gastric carcinoma metastasizing to both ureters. This article presented a case in which metastases of the ureters were the first and sole presentation of gastric cancer.

Introduction: This case report aimed to highlight the prominence of considering Cushing's disease in the differential diagnosis of severe hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis. Case Report: A 63-year-old woman who admitted to the emergency room of Bezmialem Vakif University Hospital, Istanbul with fatigue and severe weakness of extremities. Biochemistry results indicated severe hypokalemia (potassium=1.2 mmol/L) and metabolic alkalosis (pH= 7.83) and based on further endocrinological investigations, the final diagnosis of Cushing’s disease was confirmed, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a macroadenoma in the right lobe of the pituitary. Transsphenoidal surgery was performed and Cushing’s disease was cured without any treatment. Conclusions: Although hypokalemia can be present in Cushing’s disease, none of the previous studies have reported hypokalemia as severe as in this case.

Introduction Of all children born with congenital anomalies, 30-40% have urogenital abnormalities. Most of them are asymptomatic, but if any symptoms occur, they are usually symptoms of urinary infections. Case report A four-year old girl was admitted because of recurrent urinary infections and in order to perform a thorough clinical examination. Clinical examination showed an asymmetrical glutens and presence of a fibroma in the same region. Detailed radiologic examinations (ultrasonography, plain X-ray, excretory urography, voiding urethrocystography) revealed a triplicate ureter on the right side with a vesicoureteral reflux of the fifth grade on the same side. Intraoperatively, type III ureteric triplication according to Smith's classification was established. Ureteral remodeling and reimplantation was done. The postoperative course was good, and follow-up voiding urethrocystography showed absence of reflux. Discussion Ureteral triplication is a consequence of either development of three buds on the mesonephric duct, or development of two buds, one of which further divided into two parts. Most common anomalies associated with ureteral triplication are: ureteral duplication on the other side (37%), ectopy of the ureteric orifice (28%) and kidney dysplasia (8%). Vesicoureteral reflux is very common on affected or on both sides. Symptomatology is the same as in ureteral duplication - dominated by signs of urinary infections. Conclusion Diagnosis of ureteral duplication requires detailed imaging. Treatment of symptomatic abnormalities should be individual, regardless of the applied treatment (conservative or operative).

A 14-year-old boy presented with painless gross hematuria after a blunt trauma to his right lumbar region. Abdominal ultrasonography and abdominal computerized tomography revealed that the right kidney was hydronephrotic; contrast material delineated a hematoma inside the kidney. The patient underwent a right simple nephrectomy and after histopathological examination was found to have a renomedullary interstitial cell tumor of the right kidney. This tumor is common in patients older than 50 years, whereas our patient was very young. The diagnosis of this small tumor is not possible by conventional radiological techniques and histopathological examination is mandatory for its diagnosis.
