Calcifications have also been reported in other organs such as the genitalia of male patients and can be associated with infertility cases. Our case report is the first Moroccan case reported in the literature of a male with PAM and infertility.\u0000\u0000 Case Report: We present a case of a 47-year-old male patient (Moroccan, North African) presented with complaints of persistent grade I dyspnea for the last six years. He also claimed primary infertility of 20 years since marriage, PAM was diagnosed based on the typical appearance of the chest and pelvic high resolution computed tomography (HRCT). The infertility was due to distal obstruction of the seminal tract by small calcifications similar to pulmonary microliths. Low dose inhaled corticosteroids/long-acting beta2-agonists (ICS-LABA) was started as a treatment of symptoms with good control of symptoms.\u0000\u0000 Conclusion: Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis is a rare autosomal recessive disorder not easily described because of its rarity worldwide, its clinical course, and its evolution. Its association with infertility may be more common than is currently known, suggests the need to make a particularly close examination of the chest X-ray in some cases of male infertility.\u0000","PeriodicalId":400698,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Case Reports and Images in Urology","volume":"58 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141928915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The indications for this procedure include preoperative arterial embolization of large and vascular renal cell carcinoma to reduce intraoperative hemorrhagic complications, management of malignant renal tumors in patients who are not suitable candidates for surgery, treatment of symptomatic hematuria and palliative care for metastatic renal cancer.\u0000\u0000 Case Report: In this case report, we present the case of a 56-year-old female with a known history of hypertension and cerebrovascular accident, who presented with complaints of hematuria and urinary retention. A diagnosis of left renal mass suggestive of renal cell carcinoma was made. The patient was planned for left radical nephrectomy and advised to discontinue aspirin for a week. However, on the morning of surgery, she experienced acute myocardial infarction and had to be hospitalized in intensive cardiac care. Aspirin was restarted, leading to recurrent severe hematuria. The patient underwent renal artery embolization, which successfully controlled the hematuria. Following cardiac stabilization, radical nephrectomy was performed three months later. The surgery and post-operative period were uneventful.\u0000\u0000 Conclusion: This case study demonstrates the use of renal artery embolization as an effective modality for controlling hematuria, and temporizing management in a case of renal cell carcinoma where surgery was not immediately feasible due to a medical emergency.\u0000","PeriodicalId":400698,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Case Reports and Images in Urology","volume":"152 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141681683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is known that patients with xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis have a high rate of perioperative and postoperative morbimortality; however, there are few case reports on this entity.\u0000\u0000 Case Report: A 35-year-old woman attended the emergency department due to the presence of pain in the left flank, accompanied by an altered state of consciousness and respiratory distress. The study protocol started, identifying a significant increase in the left kidney, the presence of a central staghorn stone, dilated minor calices, and clinically with septic shock. The clinical conditions improved by adding intravenous fluids, vasoactive amines, red blood cells concentrates, and broad-spectrum antibiotics. Subsequently, a left nephrectomy was performed. On the following days, the septic shock gradually resolved, leading to the patient’s discharge. Eventually, histopathology report was reviewed, confirming a xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis.\u0000\u0000 Conclusion: When a xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis clinical suspicion is found, it is considered a surgical emergency. Furthermore, if proper management is not given immediately, there is a high risk of complications and death.

However, there is sparse literature describing cases of seminoma in the transgender and gender diverse patient population.\u0000\u0000 Case Series: We present two cases of seminoma incidentally discovered after simple bilateral orchiectomy performed as part of genital gender affirming surgery. In both instances, patients had not reported any testicular firmness or abnormality prior to surgery. After a thorough literature review, only two other such cases have been reported. Herein, we discuss our two cases and their implications for surgical management of suspected testicular malignancy intraoperatively, a methodical inspection of testicles removed during gender affirming surgery and providing affirming care when navigating discussions of genitalia with transgender and gender diverse patients.\u0000\u0000 Conclusion: Testicular malignancy such as seminoma may be found incidentally when transgender and gender diverse patients undergo genital gender affirming surgery. Thus, special attention is required to identify suspicious exam findings, adjust surgical techniques as indicated, and properly examine surgical specimens. As there is a significant paucity of literature surrounding testicular malignancies in the transgender and gender diverse patient population, it is crucial to continue to investigate how to provide affirming care in these situations.\u0000","PeriodicalId":400698,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Case Reports and Images in Urology","volume":"52 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138588156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
