Wilms tumor is the most common malignant renal tumor in childhood, but it is rarely associated with a vascular tumor thrombus. We present a case of Wilms tumor with renal vein tumor thrombus treated with only a 3-port retroperitoneal laparoscopic technique in a 10-year-old girl. The patient was alive at the 12-month follow-up examination with adjuvant chemotherapy. To our knowledge, we present the...
To report on the novel technique of laparoscopic aspiration for central renal angiomyolipoma (RAML) in a series of patients treated in our institution and summarize our single-center initial experience.We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 10 patients (4 men and 6 women) with pathologically confirmed central RAML who underwent laparoscopic aspiration between August 2010 and May 2012. Indications...
Metanephric adenoma is an extremely rare renal tumor and, even more infrequently, is centrally located. Herein we summarize a series of images concerning a central metanephric adenoma in a female adult successfully treated with laparoscopic nephron-sparing surgery. The patient presented with no symptoms but was found to have a lesion in the middle portion of the left renal parenchyma for 1 month prior...
A case of renal artery pseudoaneurysm (RAP) after partial nephrectomy for an 11-cm renal tumor is reviewed. Symptoms, computed tomography (CT) scan images and angiography are all displayed. A 57-year-old woman was readmitted 4 months after she underwent a retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for an 11-cm right renal tumor. Contrast CT revealed a 10.3-cm mass recurrence in the same position...
Reninoma is an extremely rare, renin-secreting, benign kidney tumor that can cause hypertension. We present a case of hypertension secondary to reninoma treated with laparoscopic nephron-sparing surgery in a 15-year-old girl and review some relevant published literature. Laparoscopic retroperitoneal nephron-sparing surgery was performed and the tumor was removed intact. The histopathologic examination...
To investigate the difference of voiding pattern between newborns with and those without hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Forty hospitalized newborns aged 4-21 days were included in this study. Twenty-one were preterm newborns with HIE, and the remaining 19 preterm newborns were without HIE. The voided volume, postvoid residual (PVR) volume, consciousness at voiding, voiding time, voiding...
To investigate the possible correlations of apoptosis and apoptosis-associated factors, including the apoptotic index (AI), proliferation index (PI), and expression of Bcl-2 and caspase 3, with the percent area density of epithelium and stroma in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).A total of 60 patients with histologically determined BPH were investigated. The percent area density of epithelium and...
