Pelvic cyst originated from Mullerian or Wolffian duct are reported frequently but ejaculatory duct cysts are very rare. Here we present a rare case of large ejaculatory duct cyst in a diabetic man. In Bangladesh no such case has yet reported. This will be the first case reported in our country. This man was 48 years old presented with post ejaculatory pain, haematospermia, low ejaculatory volume and infertility. On trans rectal ultrasonogram (TRUS) there was 70ml volume retro prostatic midline cyst was found. MRI pelvis confirms the diagnosis. There are different modalities of treatment ranging from observation to open surgery. We chose to open excision with good post operative outcome. Ejaculatory duct cyst is a rare entity. Malignant transformation also reported in ejaculatory duct cyst. Trans rectal ultra sonogram (TRUS) and MRI of pelvic organs are diagnostic. Treatment depends on size of cyst and fertility. Total excision result in complete recovery from symptoms and disease. Transurethral surgery may conserve natural fertility but persistence in complications. Fertility issue in our case depends on intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection which outcome will be seen in future follow up. Bangladesh Journal of Urology, Vol. 23, No. 1, January 2020 p.107-111

Abstract Saksenaea erythrospora is a rare pathogen in humans. Ten adult cases have been previously reported, eight manifested with cutaneous infection, and two presented with invasive rhinosinusitis infection. The authors present a 16-month-old boy with progressive painful mass at the right medial canthus and upper cheek that was unresponsive to broad-spectrum antibiotics. He underwent an anterior orbitotomy and biopsy. Histopathology revealed broad nonseptate sterile hyphae and grew S. erythrospora, which was confirmed by molecular techniques. The patient was treated with intravenous liposomal amphotericin B and oral itraconazole combined with aggressive surgical debridement. The patient made a complete recovery without long-term complications at 4 months of follow-up. Primary cutaneous mucormycosis caused by S. erythrospora may rarely involve the periocular region and mimic chronic dacryocystitis. We report the first case of pediatric periocular cutaneous mucormycosis caused by S. erythrospora.

Introduction Smooth muscle tumors of undetermined malignant potential (STUMPs) are atypical smooth muscle tumors, most of which derived from uterine tissue. STUMPs of male genitourinary system and of the male pelvic organs are uncommon. Case description In this report, we describe the first case of peri-prostatovesicular STUMP that was treated with laparoscopic excision, in a young asymptomatic man. Conclusions In most cases, the definitive diagnosis can be made only after surgical resection and accurate histological examination. The usefulness of adjuvant chemotherapy remains unclear, and a standardized follow-up protocol has not been described.

<p><b>Background:</b> Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA) present a significant clinical challenge, as they are complex and require invasive surgery. In an attempt to prevent considerably high mortality and morbidity in open repair, hybrid endovascular repair has been developed by many authors. In this study, we evaluated the early-term results obtained from this procedure.</p><p><b>Methods:</b> From November 2010 to February 2013, we performed thoracoabdominal hybrid aortic repair in 18 patients. The mean age was 68 years (12 men, 6 women). All of the patients had significant comorbidities. Follow-up computed tomography (CT) scans were performed at 1 week, 3 months, 6 months, and annually thereafter.</p><p><b>Results:</b> All patients were operated on in a staged procedure and stent graft deployment was achieved. Procedural success was achieved in all cases. All patients were discharged with complete recovery. No endoleaks weres detected in further CT examination.</p><p><b>Conclusion:</b> Our results suggests that hybrid debranching and endovascular repair of extensive thoracoabdominal aneurysms represents a suitable therapeutic option to reduce the morbidity and mortality of TAAA repair, particularly in those typically considered at high risk for standard repair.</p>

Initial Injury

Transorbital penetration accounts for one-quarter of the penetrating head injuries (PHIs) in adults and half of those in children. Injuries that traverse (with complete penetration of) the brainstem are often fatal, with survivors rarely seen in clinical practice. Here, the authors describe the case of a 16-year-old male who suffered and recovered from an accidental transorbital PHI traversing the brainstem—the first case of complete neurological recovery following such injury. Neuroimaging captured the trajectory of the initial injury. A delayed-onset carotid cavernous fistula and the subsequent development of internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysms were managed by endovascular embolization.The authors also review the relevant literature. Sixteen cases of imaging-confirmed PHI traversing the brainstem have been reported, 14 involving the pons and 12 penetrating via the transorbital route. Management and outcome of PHI are informed by object velocity, material, entry point, trajectory, relationship to neurovascular structures, and the presence of a retained foreign body. Trauma resuscitation is followed by a careful neurological examination and appropriate neuroimaging. Ophthalmological examination is performed if transorbital penetration is suspected, as injuries may be occult; the potential for neurovascular complications highlights the value of angiography. The featured case shows that complete recovery is possible following injury that traverses the brainstem.

Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is a rare, but serious systemic hypersensitivity reaction associated with a range of medications. We present two cases of vancomycin-induced DRESS, which occurred simultaneously in the orthopaedic ward in an outer metropolitan hospital. These cases demonstrate the complexity in the diagnosis and management of this inflammatory syndrome on the background of known infection as well as evidence for linezolid as an alternative to vancomycin. The first case was managed conservatively, but developed progressive renal and liver injury along with demonstrated cytomegalovirus reactivation and recurrent colitis, and was eventually palliated. The second was commenced on intravenous glucocorticoids and achieved remission, although had ongoing renal dysfunction at the time of discharge from outpatient follow-up.

Inflammatory Changes

We introduce a case of a 73-year-old man who developed intractable chylous ascites due to portal vein compression as a result of peripancreatic inflammatory changes after acute biliary pancreatitis. After stenting the portal vein stenosis, the chylous ascites improved from requiring weekly paracentesis to requiring no drainage within 4 months of the procedure and at the 15-month follow-up. To our knowledge, it is the first case reported in the literature where portal vein stenting has successfully been used to treat pancreatitis-induced chylous ascites.

AbstractWe describe the case of a term newborn who presented with hypernatremic dehydration on day 19 of life. The baby was otherwise hemodynamically stable with no evidence of focal or asymmetric neurological signs. The laboratory tests at the time of admission were negative except for hypernatremia and the extremely elevated levels of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protein (717 mg/dL) and glucose levels (97 mg/dL). The hypernatremic dehydration was corrected as per the unit protocol over 48 hours. Repeat CSF analysis done after 5 days showed normalization of the protein and glucose levels. Serial follow-up and neuroimaging showed no evidence of neurological sequelae. Unique feature of our case is this is the first case reporting such an extreme elevation of CSF protein and glucose levels that have had no bearing on neurodevelopmental outcome at 1 month and 3 months of follow-up.

Lymphoplasmacytic Infiltrate

Most malignant tumors of the penis are squamous cell carcinomas (SCC), being divided in 2 groups, one human papillomavirus (HPV)-related and another non-HPV-related, with lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC) being one of the rarest HPV-related SCC. In this article, we report a case of a 50-year-old man who presented testicular swelling and pain for the past 3 months. A penile mass was identified, and the patient was submitted to a total penectomy. The penectomy specimen showed an ulcerated lesion at the glans reaching the cavernous bodies. Microscopic examination showed undifferentiated epithelial cells with syncytial growth pattern mix with a dense lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate, consistent with LELC. The tumor cells expressed p16 and all 3 different clones of PDL1 (22C3, SP263, and SP142). The patient is alive and well with a follow-up of 3 months. To our knowledge, this is the third LELC of the penis reported in literature and the first case reported with PDL1 expression.
