A 79-year-old male patient with urothelial carcinoma with squamous differentiation, pT2N0M0, was referred to our hospital. A computed tomography (CT) scan showed left hydronephrosis associated with the bladder tumor and reticular shadows in the lung fields. After neoadjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin, the patient underwent robot-assisted radical cystectomy and cutaneous ureterostomy for bladder cancer on March X. On postoperative day 2, SpO2 decreased with increased oxygen demand, and a CT scan revealed a diffuse reticular shadow in both lungs. The patient was diagnosed with acute exacerbation of interstitial pneumonia (IP). Steroid pulse therapy with 1,000 mg/day methylprednisolone (mPSL) was initiated immediately, and nasal high-flow (NHF) oxygen was introduced. After a positive response to mPSL was confirmed, the patient was weaned from NHF on postoperative day 9. As the IP did not worsen, he was discharged after receiving home oxygen therapy. Six months after the acute exacerbation of IP, CT showed no tumor recurrence or progression.

A 28-year-old male presented to his physician with a chief complaint of fever and cough. Contrastenhanced computed tomography revealed a 17×16×8 cm heterogeneous tumor in the anterior mediastinum, as well as right heart and inferior vena cava compression due to the tumor. He was referred to our hospital for close examination and treatment. Alpha fetoprotein (AFP) was 24,769 ng/ml, and percutaneous needle biopsy revealed a germ cell tumor with a York sac tumor component; therefore, Bleomycin, Etoposide and Cisplatin (BEP) therapy was started. Although AFP tended to decrease with BEP therapy, the tumor size remained unchanged, and right heart failure due to right heart system decompression led to cardiogenic shock. Consequently, veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) was introduced on Day 25. Since cardiogenic shock continued even after VA-ECMO, anterior mediastinal tumor resection was attempted on Day 30 following consultation with the respiratory surgery, cardiovascular surgery, cardiology, and intensive care units. Because the tumor was strongly adherent, tumor resection was abandoned, and tumor reduction surgery was performed. Postoperatively, his cardiovascular status improved quickly, and he was weaned off VA-ECMO the day after surgery. AFP decreased to 22 ng/ml but re-elevated; therefore, EP therapy was introduced on Day 97 when AFP was 600 ng/ml. We report a case of a primary mediastinal germ cell tumor with circulatory disturbance due to cardiopulmonary compression. In cases similar to ours, multidisciplinary treatment in collaboration with multiple departments is necessary.

Renal and ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) are both characterized by a clear cytoplasm and exhibit similar genomic alterations and clinical characteristics. We hypothesized that both CCCs may share clinical biomarker. Tissue factor pathway inhibitor 2 (TFPI2), a serine protease inhibitor, has emerged as a promising serum biomarker for ovarian CCC, and we evaluated the efficacy of TFPI2 as a biomarker for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Serum samples were collected from patients with RCC and healthy volunteers, and TFPI2 levels were measured. Expression of TFPI2 in each cell type was evaluated using single-cell RNA sequencing. Survival analyses according to TFPI2 expression levels were performed based on publicly available databases. Serum TFPI2 was significantly elevated in patients with RCC compared to healthy volunteers, particularly those with clear cell histology. Metastatic RCC tumors exhibited higher TFPI2 than localized RCCs. Moreover, higher TFPI2 correlated with higher Fuhrman grades in clear cell RCC. Publicly available databases showed an association between TFPI2 expression and overall survival, particularly in clear cell RCC. Single-cell RNA sequencing confirmed TFPI2 expression in clear cell RCC and normal kidney tubular epithelial cells. TFPI2 has emerged as a potential serum biomarker for RCC, offering avenues for improved detection and prognostication.

SUMMARY

Spermatogenesis takes place in the testis, relying on the ordered turnover of differentiating cells supplied from stem cells. Classic histological analyses have revealed that this process shows hierarchical spatiotemporal patterning known as the spermatogenic cycle, wave, and descent of segmental order, indicative of currently underexplored mechanisms of tissue- and organ-scale homeostasis. Here, using mice, we conducted high-resolution, wide-field, and ‘ultra’ long-term live imaging studiesin vivoandex vivo, combined with whole-organ mapping of differentiation stages. Such trans-scale measures demonstrate how stereotypic local cell turnover is coordinated into characteristic phase waves propagating along the seminiferous tubules, further organized into organ-scale patterning over the tubule loops. Minimal mathematical modeling shows that such higher-order dynamics can emerge from the local coupling of autonomous oscillators, which are rooted in delayed feedback interplay between stem and differentiating cells via retinoic acid signaling. These findings highlight a self-organization mechanism underpinning organ-scale homeostasis and constant sperm production.

A regulatory mechanism for SLC family transporters, critical transporters for sodium and glucose reabsorptions in renal tubule, is incompletely understood. Here, we report an important regulation of SLC family transporter by SETD2, a chromatin remodeling gene whose alterations have been found in a subset of kidney cancers. Kidney-specific inactivation of Setd2 resulted in hypovolemia with excessive urine excretion in mouse and interestingly, RNA-sequencing analysis of Setd2-deficient murine kidney exhibited decreased expressions of SLC family transporters, critical transporters for sodium and glucose reabsorptions in renal tubule. Importantly, inactivation of Setd2 in murine kidney displayed attenuated dapagliflozin-induced diuresis and glucose excretion, further supporting that SETD2 might regulate SLCfamily transporter-mediated sodium and glucose reabsorptions in renal tubule. These data uncover an important regulation of SLC family transporter by SETD2, which may illuminate a crosstalk between metabolism and epigenome in renal tubule.

OBJECTIVE: Artery and vein (AV) clamps can control venous bleeding in the surgical field and prevent carbon dioxide embolism, especially when large veins are expected to open. However, whether AV clamps cause more renal damage than artery-only (AO) clamps remains unclear. This study aimed to compare renal function and blood loss in surgeries using AO and AV clamps based on high RENAL nephrometry scores (RNS) in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN). METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 500 patients who underwent RAPN between March 2016 and December 2021. We performed 1:1 propensity matching for these patients. RESULTS: A total of 340 patients with pathological malignancies who were followed up for at least 12 months were included in this analysis. A total of 291 patients with AO clamping and 49 patients with AV clamping were included. Overall, the AV clamp group had higher total RNSs and larger diameters than the AO clamp group. Propensity score-matched analysis included 37 patients in each clamp group. The median warm ischemia times of the AV and AO clamps were 25 and 22 min, respectively, with no significant difference. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups in the amount of blood loss, rate of acute kidney injury (AKI), or renal function at 1, 3, or 12 months post-RAPN. CONCLUSION: Compared with the AO clamp, the AV clamp did not have a detrimental impact on blood loss or renal dysfunction. Consequently, AV clamps may be considered for patients presenting with moderate-to-high-complexity RNSs.

Metanephric adenoma is an extremely rare disease. We describe two cases of metanephric adenoma. Case 1 : A 17-year-old male adolescent developed gross hematuria, and urinalysis revealed positive protein and occult blood. He was referred to our department for further evaluation and likely tumor removal. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) showed a neoplasm (23 mm) with poor contrast effect during the early as well as the late contrast phase. Case 2 : A 61-year-old woman presented with an incidentally detected tumor in the lower pole of the right kidney ; contrast-enhanced CT revealed a large neoplasm (10 mm) with poor contrast effect during the early as well as late contrast phase. Both patients underwent robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) under the preoperative diagnosis of papillary renal cell carcinoma. Metanephric adenoma is histopathologically indistinguishable from papillary renal cell carcinoma preoperatively, and histopathology and immunostaining are neceaasry for accurate diasnosis.

PURPOSE: To identify the risk factors for perioperative complications to prevent perioperative complications after complete ipsilateral upper urinary stone removal using flexible ureterorenoscopy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively examined 111 patients who underwent flexible ureterorenoscopy for ipsilateral renal stones with a diameter ≥ 5 mm at the same time as ureterorenoscopy for ureteric stones. The flexible ureterorenoscopy procedures were performed following the fragmentation technique. Patients who experienced (complication group) and did not experience (non-complication group) perioperative complications were compared. The complication group included 33 patients with Clavien-Dindo classification scores of I, II, III, or IV and/or those with a body temperature of > 37.5 ℃ during hospitalization. RESULTS: The overall stone volume, stone-free rate and procedure duration were 1.71 mL, 96.4% and 77 min, respectively. The rate of perioperative complications was 29.7% (grade 1, 2 and 3 was 23.4%, 5.4% and 0.9%, respectively). Severe complications (Clavien-Dindo grade 4) were not observed. Multivariable analysis revealed that ureteral stone volume and female patients were independent predictors of perioperative complications after flexible ureterorenoscopy (p = 0.015 and 0.017, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: This study showed that ureteral stone volume and female gender have the possibility to increase perioperative complications. These preliminary data help to select for patients who are at low risk of complications. Therefore, in these selected patients, complete ipsilateral upper urinary tract stone removal using flexible ureterorenoscopy may reduce the recurrence of urolithiasis without increasing perioperative complications.

Objective: Complete endophytic renal tumors (CERTs) are the most challenging for robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN). This study aimed to determine the impact of CERT on outcomes of RAPN. Methods: All RAPN cases for localized renal tumor undertaken at Yokohama City University Hospital between 2016 and 2023 were enrolled. Tumor characteristics and surgical, functional, and oncologic outcomes of RAPN were compared between CERT and non-CERT groups. Results: Consecutive 666 patients were enrolled, and 76 (11.4%) were identified as CERT (3 points of "E" score). CERT showed smaller tumor diameters (p < 0.001), more predominant hilar tumor (p = 0.029), higher "N" scores (p < 0.001) and "L" scores (p = 0.006) than non-CERT. The CERT group showed longer warm ischemia times (p < 0.001), more frequent positive surgical margins (p = 0.028), and relatively lower trifecta achievement rates (p = 0.101) than the non-CERT group. In multivariable analysis, the CERT was an independent predictor for trifecta achievement but not for pentafecta achievement. Conclusions: CERT was associated with longer warm ischemia time, positive surgical margin, and lower trifecta achievement, but not with surgical complication and pentafecta achievement in RAPN. This study suggested that CERT had limited influence on long-term renal functional preservation; however, it had strong impacts on short-term surgical outcome.

The influence of chronic kidney disease stage on robot-assisted partial nephrectomy outcomes remains underexplored. This study aimed to assess the impact of chronic kidney disease stage on functional and surgical outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy and identify preoperative predictors of significant postoperative 1-year renal-function loss (RFL). Clinical data of 408 patients who underwent robot-assisted partial nephrectomy at Yokohama City University Hospital between 2016 and 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. The da Vinci Surgical System was applied in all patients, and outcomes assessed included surgical parameters, postoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate, trifecta and pentafecta achievements, and complications. Significant RFL was defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate reduction ≥ 25% from baseline. Higher chronic kidney disease stages correlated with older age, hypertension, diabetes, and solitary kidneys. Postoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate decline was most pronounced in patients with chronic kidney disease stages 4-5. Although the chronic kidney disease stage did not significantly affect most surgical parameters, pentafecta achievement was higher in patients with chronic kidney disease stage 3 than in those with stages 4-5. Two patients required hemodialysis after robot-assisted partial nephrectomy. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative hemoglobin level and maximum tumor diameter were significant predictive factors for significant RFL. In conclusion, preoperative CKD stage did not influence on surgical outcome except for pentafecta achievement. RAPN may be feasible for patients with CKD stages 4-5 because of no rapid progression to hemodialysis induction and no procedure-related mortality. Preoperative hemoglobin levels and tumor diameter emerged as predictors of significant RFL.

OBJECTIVE: In December 2021, enfortumab vedotin (EV), an antibody-drug conjugate directed against nectin-4, was approved in Japan as a new treatment after platinum-containing chemotherapy and PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. This study evaluated, using real-world data, the efficacy and safety of EV therapy in patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty-five patients with mUC who discontinued pembrolizumab therapy due to disease progression between June 2018 and April 2023 at Yokohama City University Hospital were evaluated retrospectively. Of the 55 patients, 25 received EV therapy (EV group) and 30 did not (non-EV group). All patients who underwent EV therapy were diagnosed with disease progression after the approval of EV in Japan. RESULTS: The median (range) follow-up period after pembrolizumab discontinuation was 6.3 (0.7-31.1) months. There were eight (32.0%) deaths due to cancer in the EV group and 27 (90.0%) in the non-EV group. The overall survival (OS) after pembrolizumab discontinuation was not reached in the EV group versus 2.6 months in the non-EV group (p < 0.001). A multivariate analysis revealed that EV therapy (EV vs. non-EV group; hazard ratio 0.26; 95% confidence interval 0.16-0.41; p < 0.001) was an independent prognostic factor for OS. CONCLUSION: EV prolonged OS in mUC following pembrolizumab therapy in real-world data.

Approximately 1% of the general male population has azoospermia, and nonobstructive azoospermia accounts for the majority of cases. The causes vary widely, including chromosomal and genetic abnormalities, varicocele, drug-induced causes, and gonadotropin deficiency; however, the cause is often unknown. In azoospermia caused by hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, gonadotropin replacement therapy can be expected to produce sperm in the ejaculate. In some cases, upfront varicocelectomy for nonobstructive azoospermia with varicocele may result in the appearance of ejaculated spermatozoa; however, the appropriate indication should be selected. Each guideline recommends microdissection testicular sperm extraction for nonobstructive azoospermia in terms of successful sperm retrieval and avoidance of complications. Sperm retrieval rates generally ranged from 20% to 70% but vary depending on the causative disease. Various attempts have been made to predict sperm retrieval and improve sperm retrieval rates; however, the evidence is insufficient. Further evidence accumulation is needed for salvage treatment in cases of failed sperm retrieval. In Japan, there is inadequate provision on the right to know the origin of children born from artificial insemination of donated sperm and the rights of sperm donors, as well as information on unrelated family members, and the development of these systems is challenging. In the future, it is hoped that the pathogenesis of nonobstructive azoospermia with an unknown cause will be elucidated and that technology for omics technologies, human spermatogenesis using pluripotent cells, and organ culture methods will be developed.

BACKGROUND: Late-onset hypogonadism (LOH) is a condition caused by the decline of testosterone levels with aging and is associated with various symptoms, including lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTSs). Although some reports have shown that testosterone replacement treatment for LOH improves LUTSs, no large study has revealed a correlation between LUTSs and LOH. This study investigated the correlation between the severity of LOH and LUTSs in Japanese males >40 years of age using a web-based questionnaire with the Aging Males' Symptoms (AMS) scale. METHODS: We asked 2000 Japanese males to answer both the AMS and IPSS/QOL questionnaires using a web-based survey. Among these 2000 individuals, 500 individuals were assigned to each age group. RESULTS: The IPSS total score was positively correlated with the severity of AMS (shown as median [mean ± SD]): no/little group, 2 (3.67 ± 5.36); mild group, 6 (7.98 ± 6.91); moderate group, 11 (12.49 ± 8.63); and severe group, 16 (14.83 ± 9.24) (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: Individuals with higher AMS values, representing cases with severe LOH symptoms, had a higher risk of experiencing nocturia and LUTSs than those with lower AMS values.

Partial nephrectomy (PN) is the standard treatment for T1 renal cell carcinoma. PN is affected more by surgical variations and requires greater surgical experience than radical nephrectomy. Patient-specific simulations and navigation systems may help to reduce the surgical experience required for PN. Recent advances in three-dimensional (3D) virtual reality (VR) imaging and 3D printing technology have allowed accurate patient-specific simulations and navigation systems. We reviewed previous studies about patient-specific simulations and navigation systems for PN. Recently, image reconstruction technology has developed, and commercial software that converts two-dimensional images into 3D images has become available. Many urologists are now able to view 3DVR images when preparing for PN. Surgical simulations based on 3DVR images can change surgical plans and improve surgical outcomes, and are useful during patient consultations. Patient-specific simulators that are capable of simulating surgical procedures, the gold-standard form of patient-specific simulations, have also been reported. Besides VR, 3D printing is also useful for understanding patient-specific information. Some studies have reported simulation and navigation systems for PN based on solid 3D models. Patient-specific simulations are a form of preoperative preparation, whereas patient-specific navigation is used intraoperatively. Navigation-assisted PN procedures using 3DVR images have become increasingly common, especially in robotic surgery. Some studies found that these systems produced improvements in surgical outcomes. Once its accuracy has been confirmed, it is hoped that this technology will spread further and become more generalized.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the predictive factors for pentafecta achievement of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for intermediate highly complex renal tumors (RENAL score ≥ 7). METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the data of 247 patients with renal tumors with a RENAL score ≥ 7 who underwent RAPN. Baseline characteristics and perioperative outcomes were compared between the pentafecta achieved group and the unachieved group. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to identify the predictive factors for pentafecta achievement for cT1 renal tumors with a RENAL score ≥ 7. RESULTS: Of the 247 patients, 75 (30.3%) patients were in the achieved group and 172 (69.7%) patients were in the unachieved group. The median warm ischemia time and total operation time were 18 min versus 23 min (p < 0.001) and 179 min versus 201 min (p < 0.001) in the achieved and unachieved groups, respectively. In the unachieved group, six patients (3.4%) had major perioperative complications (Clavien-Dindo classification system ≥3). The median preservation rates of estimated GFR at the 1-year postoperative period were 96.5% versus 83.0% (p < 0.001) in the achieved and unachieved groups. Multivariable logistic regression models revealed that age and tumor size were independent predictive factors for pentafecta achievement for cT1 renal tumors with a RENAL score ≥ 7. There were no significant differences in cancer-free survival between the two groups (p = 0.456). CONCLUSION: Age and tumor size were independent predictive factors for pentafecta achievement, although there was no difference in oncological outcomes between the pentafecta achieved group and the unachieved group in RAPN for cT1 renal tumors with a RENAL score ≥ 7.

BACKGROUND: Our web-based training program called "Educating Medical Professionals about Reproductive Issues in Cancer Healthcare" aims to help healthcare professionals communicate promptly with patients and survivors who are adolescents and young adults, with information pertinent to reproductive health issues such as the risk of infertility and fertility preservation. METHODS: The study participants were professional healthcare providers, including physicians, nurses, pharmacists, social workers, midwives, psychologists, laboratory technicians, genetic counselors, and dieticians. Pre- and post- and 3-month follow-up tests consisting of 41 questions were administered to measure changes in knowledge and confidence. The participants also received a follow-up survey that covered confidence, communication techniques, and practice habits. A total of 820 healthcare providers participated in this program. RESULTS: The mean total score from the pre-test to the post-test grew significantly (p < 0.01), and participants' self-confidence increased. In addition, there was a change in the behavior of healthcare providers, who began asking about patients' marital status and parity. CONCLUSION: Our web-based fertility preservation training program improved knowledge and self-confidence regarding fertility preservation issues among healthcare providers caring for adolescents and young adult cancer patients and survivors.

BACKGROUND: Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD) syndrome, caused by germline alteration of folliculin (FLCN) gene, develops hybrid oncocytic/chromophobe tumour (HOCT) and chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (ChRCC), whereas sporadic ChRCC does not harbor FLCN alteration. To date, molecular characteristics of these similar histological types of tumours have been incompletely elucidated. METHODS: To elucidate renal tumourigenesis of BHD-associated renal tumours and sporadic renal tumours, we conducted whole genome sequencing (WGS) and RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) of sixteen BHD-associated renal tumours from nine unrelated BHD patients, twenty-one sporadic ChRCCs and seven sporadic oncocytomas. We then compared somatic mutation profiles with FLCN variants and RNA expression profiles between BHD-associated renal tumours and sporadic renal tumours. FINDINGS: RNA-seq analysis revealed that BHD-associated renal tumours and sporadic renal tumours have totally different expression profiles. Sporadic ChRCCs were clustered into two distinct clusters characterized by L1CAM and FOXI1 expressions, molecular markers for renal tubule subclasses. Increased mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number with fewer variants was observed in BHD-associated renal tumours compared to sporadic ChRCCs. Cell-of-origin analysis using WGS data demonstrated that BHD-associated renal tumours and sporadic ChRCCs may arise from different cells of origin and second hit FLCN alterations may occur in early third decade of life in BHD patients.

With advances in cancer treatment, such as cytotoxic chemotherapy and radiotherapy, grave new sequelae of treatment have emerged for young cancer survivors. One sequela that cannot be overlooked is male infertility, with reportedly 15% to 30% of cancer survivors losing their fertility potential. Cytotoxic therapy influences spermatogenesis at least temporarily, and in some cases, permanently. The degree of spermatogenesis impairment depends on the combination of drugs used, their cumulative dose, and the level of radiation. The American Society of Clinical Oncology has created an index to classify the risks to fertility based on treatment. Medical professionals currently use this risk classification in fertility preservation (FP) programs. FP programs are currently being promoted to prevent spermatogenesis failure resulting from cancer treatment. For patients who are able to ejaculate and whose semen contains sperm, the semen (sperm) is cryopreserved. Moreover, for patients who lack the ability to ejaculate, those with azoospermia or severe oligozoospermia, and those who have not attained puberty (i.e., spermatogenesis has not begun), testicular biopsy is performed to collect the sperm or germ cells and cryopreserve them. This method of culturing germ cells to differentiate the sperm has been successful in some animal models, but not in humans. FP has recently gained popularity; however, some oncologists and medical professionals involved in cancer treatment still lack adequate knowledge of these procedures. This hinders the dissemination of information to patients and the execution of FP. Information sharing and collaboration between reproductive medicine specialists and oncologists is extremely important for the development of FP. In Japan, the network of clinics and hospitals that support FP is expanding across prefectures.

(Objective) To compare the initial results of robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) and laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP) for uretero-pelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). (Methods) Between April 2008 to October 2021, we identified 104 cases of UPJO where LP was performed and 18 cases where RALP was performed at our hospital. We retrospectively analyzed their perioperative outcomes. Furthermore, we recorded the operative times for each cases of LP and RALP. (Results) The median operative time for RALP was 141 minutes, which was significantly shorter than that for LP (204 minutes). No patient in the RALP group demonstrated any Clavien-Dindo complications (≥grade 3). During the observation period, improvement of symptoms was observed in all cases. The median suturing time in RALP was 38 minutes. Compared with the last 20 cases of LP, the time to expose the uretero-pelvic junction, the time of renal pelvis incision, and suturing time were significantly shorter in RALP. In addition, the console and suturing times were stable since the initial stage. In cases with a high grade of hydronephrosis, there was a large variation in the time to expose the uretero-pelvic junction and suture the renal pelvis and ureter in LP; however, this variation was smaller in RALP. (Conclusion) At our hospital, RALP for UPJO is considered to be a safe procedure. In the future, it is necessary to consider the long-term results and effectiveness of RALP.

Introduction: Malignant bone and soft tissue tumors, commonly called sarcomas, predominantly originate in bone and soft tissues and typically affect individuals at a younger age. Following the resection of the primary tumor, treatment often necessitates radiation therapy and gonadotoxic chemotherapy, the specifics of which depend on the disease's stage Conversely, there is a notable concern regarding the potential loss of fertility due to these treatments. Consequently, it is recommended that men consider sperm cryopreservation before initiating treatment. This study aims to assess spermatogenesis in male patients diagnosed with malignant bone and soft tissue tumors before and after chemotherapy. Methods: This study involved 34 male patients diagnosed with malignant bone and soft tissue tumors and subsequently underwent sperm cryopreservation before initiating treatment. Medical records included details about the primary disease, age, marital status at presentation, semen analysis results, treatment regimen and number of courses, post-treatment semen analysis, renewal status and outcomes. Results: The mean age at the time of sperm cryopreservation was 22.8 years. The median semen volume was 2.5 mL, sperm concentration was 32.6 million/ml, and sperm motility was 38.5%. Following chemotherapy, semen analysis was conducted on 12 patients, with ifosfamide being the predominant drug used in all cases. Among these 12 patients, eight retained viable spermatozoa, and two successfully achieved spontaneous pregnancies resulting in live births. In one of the remaining four cases where no sperm were detected in ejaculate, a live birth was achieved through intracytoplasmic sperm injection using cryopreserved sperm. Discussion: While ifosfamide, the primary chemotherapy drug for patients with malignant bone and soft tissue tumors, was associated with severe impairments in spermatogenesis, recovery of spermatogenesis was observed in many cases. However, there were instances of prolonged azoospermia. Even in such cases, assisted reproduction using cryopreserved sperm remained viable for achieving parenthood. In light of these findings, offering patients the opportunity for fertility preservation is advisable.

A 57-years-old woman was referred to our urological department due to a 7.2-cm tumor in the left kidney, detected on computed tomography (CT). Dynamic CT of the kidney confirmed the diagnosis of left renal cancer, with lung metastasis (cT2aN0M1). The patient had a poor prognosis (IMDC classification), given the following risk factors: Time from initial diagnosis to initiation of systemic therapy < 1year, hemoglobin of 8.4 g/dL, calcium of 10.7 mg/dL, and platelet of 74.2×104/mm3. Laparoscopic left radical nephrectomy was performed before systemic drug treatment because the solitary lung metastasis was relatively small (10 mm) and the patient had symptoms of hematuria and fever. The pathological diagnosis was a clear cell carcinoma with renal sinus invasion (pT3a). Four days postoperatively, the patient developed lymphatic leakage, and was unresponsive to diet and conservative treatment. Lymphatic embolization with iodized poppy oil fatty acid ethyl ester was performed 22 days postoperatively. Contrast material leakage from the left renal hilar lymph node was observed before embolization. Post-embolization CT confirmed no contrast leakage. The patient resumed oral feeding on the 28th postoperative day, and the drain was successfully removed the next day. She was discharged on the 35th postoperative day. On follow-up, increased lung metastases were observed on CT. She was treated with the combination of ipilimumab and nivolumab. After one course of treatment, a CT scan showed a further increased in lung metastases (RECIST: PD). Thus, she was initiated on cabozantinib monotherapy. Lymphatic embolization may be a safe and effective treatment for lymphatic leakage that does not improve with conservative treatment.

INTRODUCTION: We report a case series of six patients with a chief complaint of infertility who underwent microsurgical varicocelectomy for intratesticular varicocele (ITV) after undergoing orchiopexy for undescended testis in their childhood. CASE PRESENTATION: The patients' median age was 34 years. The median age at which orchiopexy was performed was 4.5 years. All the cases of ITV were accompanied by extratesticular varicocele (ETV). All the patients underwent a microsurgical subinguinal varicocelectomy. At 3 months after operation, the ITV and ETV had disappeared in all the cases. Sperm density and motility increased in five and four patients, respectively. CONCLUSION: ITV occurs at a relatively high frequency after orchiopexy for undescended testis. Disorder of the valvular function of the testicular vein in peeling the testicular vessels was thought to be a primary cause and is often found on the left side. Doppler ultrasonography of the testis is considered important for diagnosis.

Our understanding of how each hereditary kidney cancer adapts to its tissue microenvironment is incomplete. Here, we present single-cell transcriptomes of 108,342 cells from patient specimens including from six hereditary kidney cancers. The transcriptomes displayed distinct characteristics of the cell of origin and unique tissue microenvironment for each hereditary kidney cancer. Of note, hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma (HLRCC)-associated kidney cancer retained some characteristics of proximal tubules, which were completely lost in lymph node metastases and present as an avascular tumor with suppressed T cells and TREM2-high macrophages, leading to immune tolerance. Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD)-associated kidney cancer exhibited transcriptomic intratumor heterogeneity (tITH) with increased characteristics of intercalated cells of the collecting duct and upregulation of FOXI1-driven genes, a critical transcription factor for collecting duct differentiation. These findings facilitate our understanding of how hereditary kidney cancers adapt to their tissue microenvironment.

Klinefelter syndrome and monozygotic twins are both rare. The reports of monozygotic twins with Klinefelter syndrome to have undergone fertility treatment are uncommon. This case report describes a case of 30-year-old monozygotic adult twin brothers diagnosed with nonmosaic Klinefelter syndrome following the complaint of infertility. The result of semen analysis showed cryptozoospermia (very low sperm count) and azoospermia (zero sperm count) with physical findings and lifestyles being very similar. They both underwent microtesticular sperm extraction. One had successful sperm retrieval and achieved pregnancy through intracytoplasmic sperm injection, whereas the other did not. Testicular pathological findings showed Sertoli cell-only syndrome. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on monozygotic adult twins both of whom underwent microtesticular sperm extraction and resulted in different outcomes.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of keishibukuryogan, a traditional Kampo formula known to be an anti-Oketsu (impaired microcirculation and non-physiological blood congestion) drug, in combination with an anti-oxidant for the treatment of varicoceles. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 119 patients with palpable and subclinical varicoceles who were treated with 7.5 g/day of keishibukuryogan and 600 mg/day of tocopherol nicotinate. Their motile sperm concentrations at the start of medication and after 3 months were compared. As a subgroup analysis, a comparison test was carried out between patients with a high-grade varicocele and those with a low-grade varicocele. RESULTS: The mean age of the study patients was 35.6 years. Among them, 17, 41, 44 and 17 had subclinical, grade 1, grade 2 and grade 3 varicoceles, respectively. Overall, the differences in motile sperm concentration (millions/mL) before and after treatment were not significant (median 0.58, 95% confidence interval -0.12 to 1.56; P = 0.115). The results of the subgroup analysis showed that the motile sperm concentration in patients with a low-grade varicocele significantly increased (median 1.21, 95% confidence interval 0.45-2.47; P = 0.024); however, no significant improvements were seen in patients with a high-grade varicocele. CONCLUSIONS: The results of the present study showed that the combination of keishibukuryogan and an anti-oxidant had a limited effect on varicoceles, but they suggest that it is effective for the treatment of low-grade varicoceles.

BACKGROUND: Newly emerging serious post-treatment complications among young male cancer survivors involve fertility and sexual function, preventing them from pursuing a normal family life. METHODS: We studied and summarized published studies that assess the relationship between cancer treatments and reduced spermatogenesis or sexual dysfunction. MAIN FINDINGS: Infertility often occurs because of anticancer therapies that impair spermatogenesis. While some patients postremission functionally recover fertility, others experience a decreased sperm count and azoospermia. Fertility-preserving modalities are currently being promoted worldwide to preserve spermatogenesis following cancer therapy. Patients who can ejaculate and have sperm in their semen should cryopreserve semen. However, for patients who have never ejaculated before puberty or in whom spermatogenesis has not been established, testis biopsy is performed to collect and preserve sperm or germ cells. Fertility preservation is gaining popularity and requires continuous information dissemination to oncologists and cancer treatment professionals. Furthermore, male sexual dysfunction predominantly involves erectile dysfunction and ejaculation disorder. CONCLUSION: Although preventive and therapeutic methods for these disorders have been established within urology, patients and medical professionals in other fields remain uninformed of these advances. Therefore, dissemination of information regarding fertility preservation techniques should be accelerated.

Cancer therapy has priority over fertility preservation. The time available for fertility preservation in patients with cancer is often very limited and depends on the condition of the underlying disease. This case report presents the results of two rounds of controlled ovarian stimulations (COSs) performed after an induced abortion. The patient had mixed phenotype acute leukemia diagnosed during early pregnancy and underwent a surgical abortion, followed by ovarian stimulation using urinary follicle-stimulating hormone (uFSH) and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists. Oocyte retrieval was subsequently performed for oocyte cryopreservation. Despite good hormonal and ultrasonic follicular growth, no oocytes were obtained. During a second COS performed at a low human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) level (less than 100 IU/L), several mature oocytes were obtained, suggesting that higher hCG levels during COS induce the absence of mature oocytes during normal follicular growth. It is recommended to start COS post-abortion after confirming a low hCG level while considering the timing of cancer treatment.

PURPOSE: To assess the effect of our new classification on surgical outcomes after flexible ureteroscopy (fURS) for kidney stones. METHODS: We retrospectively examined 128 patients after single renal fURS procedures performed using ureteral access sheaths (UASs) with the fragmentation technique. Based on the gap (calculated by subtracting the ureteroscope diameter from the UAS diameter), enrolled patients were divided into three groups: small (< 0.6 mm), medium (0.6 to < 1.2 mm), and large space groups (≥ 1.2 mm). Stone-free (SF) status was defined as either complete absence of stones (SF) or the presence of stones < 4 mm in diameter on non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT). RESULTS: The SF rate was significantly lower in the small space group (50% in small, 97.9% in medium, 89.2% in large; p = 0.001). Perioperative complications over Clavien-Dindo Grade I were observed in 16.7%, 4.2%, and 8.1% of patients, respectively (p = 0.452). The ratio of stone volume and operative time (efficiency of stone removal) was significantly higher in the large space group compared to the small and medium space groups (0.009 ± 0.003 ml/min, 0.013 ± 0.005 ml/min, 0.027 ± 0.012 ml/min, respectively; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Our findings that gaps > 0.6 mm (1.8 Fr), including the combination of a 9.5-Fr UAS and a small caliber ureteroscope, improve SF rates, and larger gaps facilitate stone removal efficiency providing the basis for future development of clinical protocols aimed at improving outcomes.

PURPOSE: To identify risk factors by developing and internally validating a nomogram for preventing perioperative complications in overnight ureteral catheterization cases after fURS for kidney stones. METHODS: We retrospectively examined 309 patients with overnight ureteral catheterization after single fURS procedures for renal stones. fURS procedures were performed based on the fragmentation technique. The ureteral catheter was removed on postoperative day 1. Within this group, patients who experienced perioperative complications (complication group) were compared with those who did not experience complications (non-complication group). The complication group included 77 patients whose Clavien-Dindo classification score was I, II, III, or IV and/or those whose body temperature during hospitalization was over 37.5 °C. RESULTS: The overall stone volume, stone-free rate, incidence of perioperative complications, and procedure duration were 1.39 mL, 94.8%, 24.9%, and 62 min, respectively. Severe complications of a Clavien-Dindo level III or IV were observed in only four cases (1.3%). Multivariate assessment revealed five independent predictors of perioperative complications after fURS with overnight catheterization: age (p = 0.11), sex (p = 0.067), stone volume (p = 0.33), Hounsfield units (p = 0.16), and narrow ureter (p = 0.018). We developed a nomogram to predict perioperative complications after fURS using these parameters. CONCLUSIONS: We developed a predictive model for perioperative complications of patients with overnight catheterization after fURS for renal stones. This model could select patients who were at a low risk of complications.

PURPOSE: The effect of combining miniaturization with endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery (ECIRS) is unclear. Thus, we compared the treatment outcomes between minimally invasive ECIRS (mini-ECIRS) using 16.5 Fr percutaneous access sheath and standard ECIRS using 24 Fr access sheath for renal stones MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed consecutive patients who underwent single session mini or standard-ECIRS in the modified Valdivia position for renal stones between April 2009 and May 2016. To adjust for patient characteristics, 77 pairs were matched using preoperative parameters including age, sex, history of febrile urinary tract infection (UTI), stone surface area, number of involved calyces, and staghorn calculi. RESULTS: The stone free rate (SFR) was similar between mini and standard ECIRS according to non-contrast computed tomography (61.1% vs. 52.0%, p = 0.388). The rate of perioperative complications exceeding grade 2 based on the Clavien-Dindo classification was similar in both groups (19.5% vs. 26.0%, p = 0.442). Severe complications exceeding grade 3 were also similar in both groups (2.6% vs. 3.9%, p > 0.99). Two cases of septic shock were noted in each group. Although there was no difference regarding bleeding-related complications (2.6% vs. 6.5%, p = 0.442), pseudoaneurysm or blood transfusion was not observed in the mini-ECIRS group. Pain visual analog scale values in the perioperative period were lower in the mini-ECIRS group (1.34 ± 1.08 vs. 1.69 ± 1.23, p = 0.062). CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that, compared to standard ECIRS, mini-ECIRS maintained SFR without increasing perioperative complications, tended to reduce postoperative pain and had a potential to reduce bleeding-related complications. This report suggests the advantages of ECIRS miniaturization for renal stones.

Most kidney cells are continuously exposed to fluid shear stress (FSS) from either blood flow or urine flow. Recent studies suggest that changes in FSS could contribute to the function and injury of these kidney cells. However, it is unclear whether FSS influences kidney development when urinary flow starts in the embryonic kidneys. In this study, we evaluated the influence of FSS on in vitro cultured ureteric bud (UB) cells by using a pumpless microfluidic device, which offers the convenience of conducting parallel cell culture experiments while also eliminating the need for cumbersome electronic driven equipment and intricate techniques. We first validated the function of the device by both mathematical model and experimental measurements. UB cells dissected from E15.5 mouse embryonic kidneys were cultured in the pumpless microfluidic device and subjected to FSS in the range of 0.4-0.6 dyn mm-2 for 48 h (dynamic). Control UB cells were similarly cultured in the device and maintained under a no-flow condition (static). We found from our present study that the exposure to FSS for up to 48 h led to an increase in mRNA expression levels of UB tip cell marker genes (Wnt11, Ret, Etv4) with a decrease in stalk cell marker genes (Wnt7b, Tacstd2). In further support of the enrichment of UB tip cell population in response to FSS, we also found that exposure to FSS led to a remarkable reduction in the binding of lectin Dolichos Biflorus Agglutinin. In conclusion, results of our present study show that exposure to FSS led to an enrichment in UB tip cell populations, which could contribute to the development and function of the embryonic kidney when urine flow starts at around embryonic age E15.5 in mouse. Since UB tip cells are known to be the proliferative progenitor cells that contribute to the branching morphogenesis of the collecting system in the kidney, our finding could imply an important link between the FSS from the initiation of urine flow and the development and function of the kidney.

A 43-year-old man underwent extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) for a left ureteral stone and implantation of a loop stent for the treatment of stone pain in February 2011. However, he was lost to follow-up before the complete removal of the stones and stent. He presented to our hospital with left back pain in March 2015. An abdominal radiograph and a noncontrast computed tomography showed extensive stone formation throughout the stent. A single cystolithotripsy and a double endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery (ECIRS)were performed. All the stones and the encrusted ureteral stent were successfully removed.

Twenty years ago, the transplantation of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) from a mouse to other recipient mice was shown to be feasible, which clearly demonstrated the functional identity of SSCs. Since then, several important new findings and other technical developments have followed, which included a new hypothesis on their cell kinetics and spermatogonial hierarchy in the testis, a culture method allowing their self-renewal and proliferation, a testis tissue organ culture method, which induced their complete differentiation up to sperm, and the in vitro induction of germ cells from embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells. These advancements reinforced or advanced our understanding of this unique cell. Nonetheless, there are many unresolved questions in the study of spermatogonial stem cells and a long road remains until these cells can be used clinically in reproductive medicine.

A 81-year-old male was referred to our emergency outpatient unit due to acute renal failure. The level of serum creatinine was 276 μmol/l. A CT scan showed bilateral hydronephroureter, large bladder stone (7 cm × 6 cm × 6 cm) and bladder wall thickness. He was diagnosed as post renal failure due to bilateral hydronephroureter. Large bladder stone is thought to be the cause of bilateral hydronephroureter and renal failure. To improve renal failure, we performed open cystolithotomy and urethral catheterization. Three days after the surgery, the level of serum creatinine decreased to 224 μmol/l. He was discharged from our hospital with uneventful course. Bladder calculus is thought to be a rare cause of renal failure. We summarize the characteristics of bladder calculus causing renal failure. We should keep that long-term pyuria and urinary symptom, and repeated urinary tract infection can cause huge bladder calculus and renal failure in mind.

A 70-year-old man presented with a left scrotal swelling. A computed tomography scan showed an 8-cm left scrotal mass and no metastasis. Radical orchiectomy with high ligation of the spermatic cord was performed. The tumor was classified as a high-grade leiomyosarcoma of the left testis. An intensive follow-up including repeated computed tomography scans was performed. A computed tomography scan 34 months after the surgery showed a retroperitoneal mass in front of the left kidney. Resection of the mass was performed. Microscopically, the mass was metastatic leiomyosarcoma. Intratesticular leiomyosarcoma is rare; only 18 cases have been reported. This is the first case in which leiomyosarcoma metastasized to the retroperitoneal space postoperatively. We herein review the literature and discuss how intratesticular leiomyosarcoma metastasized to the retroperitoneal space in this patient.

A 47-year-old man presented with dysuria. The prostate-specific antigen level was 65.5 ng/mL. Retropubic radical prostatectomy and regional lymphadenectomy revealed moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma (Gleason score 3 + 4 = 7, pT2N0). Postoperative adjuvant hormonal therapy was started immediately. Three years later, hormonal therapy was changed to anti-androgen monotherapy. Monotherapy was continued for eight years and then discontinued because the PSA level was maintained at <0.04 ng/mL. However, biochemical recurrence occurred 12 months after adjuvant hormonal therapy was discontinued. A computed tomography scan showed left inguinal lymphadenopathy. Biopsy of the swollen inguinal lymph node revealed metastatic prostate cancer. We report a rare case of metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma only to the inguinal lymph nodes.

A 64-year-old man presented with gross hematuria. Physical examination showed a mass under the phimotic foreskin. Circumcision revealed a 2cm polypoid tumor on the inner layer of prepuce. Tumor resection was performed and pathological diagnosis was carcinosarcoma which was composed of squamous cell carcinoma and spindle cell sarcoma. Biopsy of the scar lesions revealed residual squamous cell carcinoma and computed tomographic scan revealed swollen inguinal lymph nodes. Partial penectomy and lymph node biopsy were performed. Pathological examination revealed residual squamous cell carcinoma and no lymph node metastasis. There was no recurrence for one year. We report this very rare case of carcinosarcoma of the penis.

A 67-year-old man received left radical nephrectomy for left renal cell carcinoma (RCC) (clear cell carcinoma, G2, pT3bN0M0). After 9 months, he presented with an acute onset of left extremity edema. A computed tomographic (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging reveal recurrent renal cell carcinoma in the inferior vena cava (IVC) and the left renal fossa, thrombus in the left external vein and acute pulmonary embolism. We performed treatment with sunitinib for 5 months after anticoagulant therapy for 3 weeks. A new CT scan showed disappearance of RCC in the IVC and reduction in the size of RCC in the renal fossa. Only 11 cases are reported as recurrent RCC in the IVC. We report the first case of recurrent intracaval RCC in which sunitinib treatment was effective.

A 39-year-old woman, who was followed because of a 4 cm asymptomatic angiomyolipoma (AML) in the left kidney, presented with an acute onset of lower left back pain in the 38th week of her first pregnancy. An ultrasound revealed an 8 cm mass suggestive of AML rupture and retroperitoneal hemorrhage. An emergency caesarean delivery was performed. A post-delivery computed tomographic scan confirmed the AML rupture and selective embolization was performed. This was a case in which the AML grew rapidly during the pregnancy ; therefore, we discuss the relationship between AML and pregnancy.

We report a case of colorectal cancer with metastasis to the upper urinary tract. A 56-year-old man had left flank pain. Ultrasonography and computed tomographic (CT) examination demonstrated left hydronephroureter and a soft-tissue structure within the left ureter. Urinary cytology of the left ureter showed class IIIb. We diagnosed him with ureteral cancer and performed left nephroureterectomy. Microscopic examination demonstrated adenocarcinoma located in ureteral and pelvic wall, especially in blood vessels, with intact mucosa and similar to adenocarcinoma of colon cancer. Therefore metastatic upper urinary tract tumor was suspected. Barium enema and positron emission tomography-CT demonstrated sigmoid colon cancer. Biopsy specimen of colon cancer demonstrated adenocarcinoma, which was consistent with the ureteral tumor. Finally we diagnosed him with metastatic upper urinary tract tumor of sigmoid colon cancer.

We report a case of segmental testicular infarction that is a rare and usually idiopathic. The patient is a 36-year-old man who presented with acute right scrotal pain and swelling. Scrotal ultrasound demonstrated a round hypoechoic lesion and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings could not rule out intratesticular hemorrhage or necrotic tissue associated with malignant neoplasm. Therefore right high orchiectomy was performed. The histopathological examination revealed segmental infarction of the testis at the upper and middle pole with coagulation necrosis.

In this study, we visualized and analyzed the trajectory of kidney stones using both experimental simulations and a stone expulsion prediction simulator by altering the rotational direction in a motion simulating a cartwheel. The results indicated that leftward rotation led to stone expulsion in all cases, suggesting that cartwheeling is an effective exercise for the natural expulsion of kidney stones. Furthermore, the rotational direction relative to the kidneys' position is important for natural stone expulsion. The stone expulsion prediction simulator showed qualitative and quantitative agreement with the experimental results, suggesting it can sufficiently replicate the phenomenon. In the future, we plan to investigate simpler and easier exercises for anyone to perform.

Urolithiasis is a disease in which calcium oxalate crystallizes in the urinary tract, and has a high recurrence rate. It is necessary to consider the burden on the body by surgical treatment, therefore, treatment methods that effectively promote spontaneous stone passage are required. In this study, we investigated the effects of angular velocity on spontaneous stone passage and established the parameters needed to develop a working accelerated renal pelvis and calyx simulator. According to analysis from experiments, it was confirmed that the simulator using our established parameters is able to reproduce spontaneous stone passage similar to our experiment results. By establishing a spontaneous stone passage prediction simulator, it will be possible to devise a method to effectively promote spontaneous stone passage in patients. By reducing the morbidity of urinary lithiasis that requires surgery, it is expected to reduce the burden on patients and medical sites.

It is necessary to consider the burden on the body by surgical treatment, therefore, treatment methods that effectively promote spontaneous stone passage are required. In this study, to develop a working accelerated renal pelvis and calyx simulator, we visualized the orbit of a renal callus model by using a physiological 3D renal pelvis and calyx model and an acceleration motion experiment system. According to analysis from experiments, it was confirmed that the simulator is able to reproduce spontaneous stone passage similar to our experiment results. By establishing a spontaneous stone passage prediction simulator, it will be possible to devise a method to effectively promote spontaneous stone passage in patients. By reducing the morbidity of urinary lithiasis that requires surgery, it is expected to reduce the burden on patients and medical sites.

20 mm以上の腎結石に対し, EAUおよびAUAガイドラインではPNLが第一選択として推奨されており, 幅広く行われるようになってきている. さらに最近ではmini-perc PNLやtubeless PNLといった低侵襲なPNLも行われるようになっている. その一方で, ECIRS (Endoscopic Combined Intra renal Surgery) もPNLと同じく大きな腎結石に対する有効な治療法として報告されている. ECIRSではf-TULを併用にすることにより, PNL単独ではアクセスが難しい尿管やtract脇の結石等へのアクセスが可能となるため, multi tractの頻度を減らすことができ, 穿刺部位を直視下に確認できるため, PNL単独治療よりも安全に腎杯穿刺を行うことができる. 当院ではstone free rateの向上および合併症率の低減を目的として2009年4月よりECIRSを第一選択として施行している. 今回, 実際の手術手順を提示し, 注意すべき点などに言及していきたい.

Urinary stones are calcium oxalate stones in the urinary tract. According to the 2005 national survey, the lifetime prevalence of urinary stones is 15.1% for Japanese men and 6.8% for women. In addition, 96% of the whole are upper urinary tract stones such as kidney stones. Small stones are excreted in the urine without feeling great pain in the process of excreting, but when they become large, natural excretory becomes difficult and it causes severe pain when it descends into a narrow ureter. Therefore, it is desirable to establish a treatment that can be discharged before growing. However, the mechanism of the flow around kidney stones from the upper urinary tract has not been fully investigated, and confirmation by follow-up observation is also difficult. Furthermore, the natural excretion can be difficult from the lower kidney calix because of the gravity. We analyzed flows around a stone by numerical simulation using immersed boundary method. First, the numerical results and the actual experiment were compared with the free fall sphere. As a result, accuracy of the numerical simulation was confirmed. Furthermore, the lower kidney calix model was created based on medical computed tomography images, and the flow of stones was analyzed by numerical simulation.

41歳男。4年前に左腎結石症で、ESWL(extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy)施行後、stone streetによる疼痛のため、左尿管ステント留置していたが、自己中断していた。この時点では結石分析は不明であった。今回、左背部痛を主訴に受診した。腹部単純CTにて、左尿管ステントに沿って腎臓側に最大36mm、膀胱側に最大47mmの結石形成、左水腎症、腎周囲脂肪織濃度の上昇を認めた。以上の所見より、尿管ステントの石灰化による水腎症を伴った腎盂腎炎と診断した。腎瘻造設を施行し、その後、経尿道的膀胱結石砕石術とpercutaneous nephrolithotomyとtransurethal lithotripsyの併用療法であるECIRS(endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery)を施行した。2回目のECIRSですべて抽石し、新しい尿管ステントを挿入した。術後2週間後にステント抜去を行い、その後は再発なく経過した。

A 67-year-old man received left radical nephrectomy for left renal cell carcinoma (RCC) (clear cell carcinoma, G2, pT3bN0M0). After 9 months, he presented with an acute onset of left extremity edema. A computed tomographic (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging reveal recurrent renal cell carcinoma in the inferior vena cava (IVC) and the left renal fossa, thrombus in the left external vein and acute pulmonary embolism. We performed treatment with sunitinib for 5 months after anticoagulant therapy for 3 weeks. A new CT scan showed disappearance of RCC in the IVC and reduction in the size of RCC in the renal fossa. Only 11 cases are reported as recurrent RCC in the IVC. We report the first case of recurrent intracaval RCC in which sunitinib treatment was effective.

A 39-year-old woman, who was followed because of a 4 cm asymptomatic angiomyolipoma (AML) in the left kidney, presented with an acute onset of lower left back pain in the 38th week of her first pregnancy. An ultrasound revealed an 8 cm mass suggestive of AML rupture and retroperitoneal hemorrhage. An emergency caesarean delivery was performed. A post-delivery computed tomographic scan confirmed the AML rupture and selective embolization was performed. This was a case in which the AML grew rapidly during the pregnancy ; therefore, we discuss the relationship between AML and pregnancy.

We report a case of colorectal cancer with metastasis to the upper urinary tract. A 56-year-old man had left flankpain. Ultrasonography and computed tomographic (CT) examination demonstrated left hydronephroureter and a soft-tissue structure within the left ureter. Urinary cytology of the left ureter showed class IIIb. We diagnosed him with ureteral cancer and performed left nephroureterectomy. Microscopic examination demonstrated adenocarcinoma located in ureteral and pelvic wall, especially in blood vessels, with intact mucosa and similar to adenocarcinoma of colon cancer. Therefore metastatic upper urinary tract tumor was suspected. Barium enema and positron emission tomography-CT demonstrated sigmoid colon cancer. Biopsy specimen of colon cancer demonstrated adenocarcinoma, which was consistent with the ureteral tumor. Finally we diagnosed him with metastatic upper urinary tract tumor of sigmoid colon cancer.

A 66-year-old woman, who developed pulmonary tuberculosis at 17 years old, had a high fever in December, 2006. Computed tomographic (CT) scan showed a tumor in the left chalked kidney, which measured 7 cm in diameter with very low enhancement. Laboratory data showed the rise of acute phase reactants (erythrocyte sedimentation rate and c-reactive protein) and severe anemia. The cultures of sputum and urine revealed no Mycobacterium tuberculosis. With the diagnosis of left renal cell carcinoma in the chalked kidney, we performed left radical nephrectomy. Histopathological diagnosis was sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma. Although sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma is highly malignant and its prognosis is poor, her post-operative condition has been good without any adjuvant treatments and there have been no recurrent or metastatic lesions for 9 months. The supervention of renal cell carcinoma on renal tuberculosis is rare. The possible effects of tuberculous lesions on the development and progression of renal cell carcinoma are discussed.

We report a case of segmental testicular infarction that is a rare and usually idiopathic. The patient is a 36-year-old man who presented with acute right scrotal pain and swelling. Scrotal ultrasound demonstrated a round hypoechoic lesion and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings could not rule out intratesticular hemorrhage or necrotic tissue associated with malignant neoplasm. Therefore right high orchiectomy was performed. The histopathological examination revealed segmental infarction of the testis at the upper and middle pole with coagulation necrosis.
