We report the case of a 56-year-old postmenopausal woman whopresented with incidental left hydronephrosis during an investigationfor a gastrointestinal complaint. The patient denied any historyof flank pain or hematuria. Contrast-enhanced computedtomography revealed severe right-sided ureterohydronephrosis aswell as renal atrophy. The contralateral kidney was normal, as wasthe patient’s overall renal function. A retrograde ureterogramdemonstrated complete ureteral obstruction 4 cm proximal to theureterovesical junction. Subsequent ureteroscopy revealed a polypoidmass completely occupying the ureteral lumen, of which thebiopsies demonstrated inconclusive atypical urothelial changes.The patient underwent a laparoscopic nephrectomy with opendissection of the distal ureter. The patient recovered well postoperatively.Final pathology revealed a benign obstructingendometrioma without evidence of invasion from periureteraltissue. This appears to be the first reported case of asymptomaticprimary ureteral endometrioma with secondary renal atrophy.Earlier investigation and treatment may have allowed for renalpreservation earlier in the course of the disease.Nous décrivons le cas d’une femme ménopausée de 56 ans présentantune hydronéphrose gauche découverte de façon fortuite aucours d’un examen mené pour donner suite à des symptômes gastro-intestinaux. La patiente n’avait pas d’antécédents de douleurau flanc ou d’hématurie. Une TDM avec agent de contraste arévélé une urétéro-hydronéphrose droite importante accompagnéed’une atrophie rénale. Le rein controlatéral et la fonction rénaleglobale de la patiente ne présentaient aucune anomalie. Uneurétérographie par voie rétrograde a permis d’observer une obstructioncomplète de l’uretère proximale à 4 cm de la jonction urétérovésicale.Une urétéroscopie subséquente a révélé une masse polypoïdeoccupant la totalité de la lumière urétérale et des analysesaprès biopsie ont montré des changements atypiques non concluantsau niveau de l’épithélium urinaire. La patiente a subi unenéphrectomie par laparoscopie avec dissection ouverte de l’uretèredistale. La patiente s’est bien rétablie après l’intervention. Lerapport final de pathologie a révélé un endométriome obstructifbénin sans signe d’invasion des tissus péri-urétéraux. Il sembleque ce soit ici le premier cas signalé d’endométriome urétéralprimitif asymptomatique avec atrophie rénale secondaire. Un examenet un traitement réalisés plus tôt dans le cours de l’évolutionde la maladie auraient pu permettre la préservation du rein.

Abstract Background Ureteral inguinoscrotal hernias (UISH) are rare, associated in some cases with congenital abnormalities of the urinary tract. Their presentation is commonly asymptomatic, and diagnosis is mostly incidental. Case presentation A 65-year-old male patient presented to the emergency room with neurologic symptoms and an altered renal function. Further investigation revealed a ureteral paraperitoneal inguinoscrotal hernia with a pelvic ectopic solitary kidney and malrotation. Three days after hernia repair and placement of a ureteral JJ stent, the creatinine levels stabilized, and the patient was discharged. Conclusion This is the first reported case of a ureteral paraperitoneal inguinoscrotal hernia in a patient with a pelvic ectopic solitary kidney and malrotation. Currently, it is also the only case reported that has been managed by laparoscopy.

Phenazopyridine is a commonly used urinary analgesic available throughout the United States. Ingestion of large quantities can lead to methemoglobinemia, hemolytic anemia, jaundice, and acute renal failure. We report a case of a 78-year-old male with previously normal renal function who developed acute renal failure and jaundice without methemoglobinemia or hyperbilirubinemia after taking nearly 8 g of phenazopyridine over the course of 4 days. Initially presenting with oliguria, the urine output began to increase by day 2 of his admission, and the creatinine peaked 11 days after he began taking phenazopyridine, and he was discharged safely soon after. To our knowledge, this is the first such case of renal failure and jaundice without methemoglobinemia or hemolytic anemia in an adult patient with normal renal function.

ABSTRACT Mucormycosis is a fatal infection of the immunocompromised individuals. It is unusual to affect healthy individuals. The main aim of this case report is to highlight the role of amphotericin B emulsion in this disease. The case was managed in our setup with surgical debridement and followed by amphotericin B emulsion for 4 weeks. We did not notice hypokalemia and renal function test abnormality in the entire course of the treatment. We present the case and the review of the literature of newer lipid complex amphotericin.
