Urethral duplication (UD) is reportedly rare. It is rarer in females. Knowledge on this anomaly comes from isolated report of cases. The aim of this review is to summarize information available on this anomaly...
Lymph node metastasis is one of the major factors that decide the prognosis of renal cell carcinoma. Presently, lymphadenectomy is only accepted as the most precise and dependable staging method to detect lymp...
Although bladder cancer is quite a common cancer, most common encounter being transitional cell carcinomas, paragangliomas with such localization, is a very rare histopathological finding. In addition, hematur...
While genitourinary tuberculosis is a common form of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis, cold abscess of the epididymis is rare with our literature search finding no reports from the West African subregion. Where th...

Bilateral single system ectopic ureter is a rare congenital anomaly, but bilateral ureteral ectopia with duplex collecting system with bladder hypoplasia is even rarer. Urinary incontinence in such cases is de...
A neglected ureteric stent with encrustations is an uneasy problem for the patient and treating urologist. We report a rare case of single urinary system retained dual ureteric stents that was complicated by e...
The etiology of bladder cancer is not yet well known. In this study, we want to evaluate the effect of polymorphisms of genes that have an epigenetic effect (MTHFR, DNMT3A/B) on the susceptibility to develop blad...
The main epigenetic event occurring during the bladder carcinogenesis process is DNA methylation, affecting genes involved in various metabolic pathways and cell regulation. The use of biological fluids such a...

Genital involvement in neurofibromas is rare and can involve both the clitoris and penis; in the latter, it usually accompanies a systemic pathology. Isolated penile neurofibroma is anecdotal. This report pres...
Management of large renal tumors in a horseshoe kidney has received little attention due to the highly infrequent occurrence. Surgical management for tumors in horseshoe kidney is challenging due to complex ab...
Renal lesion is a very frequent location of tuberculosis disease, the diagnosis of which is often difficult and delayed due to its atypical clinical presentations, especially in its pseudo-tumoral form.
