Parameatal urethral cyst is very rare. Although 15 cases have been reported in Japan, no case of parameatal urethral cyst with calculi has previously been reported. We report the first case of parameatal urethral cyst with calculi in a 22-year-old female patient.

In women, urethral condyloma rarely leads to a bladder outlet obstruction. A 39-year-old woman who presented with frequency, urgency, and residual urine sensation was found to have a condyloma in her urethral meatus. Urodynamic study indicated bladder outlet obstruction. After condyloma excision, she returned to normal voiding, and the free maximum flow rate improved. In women, excision of uret...

Extrauterine leiomyomas are encountered occasionally, which can pose a diagnostic dilemma and challenge to the gynaecologist. We report a rare case of urethral leiomyoma. A 31-year-old woman with history of primary subfertility presented with mass at her urethral meatus and lower urinary tract symptoms. She underwent examination under anaesthesia and excision of the urethral mass. Histopatholog...

Rhinosporidiosis, first described by Gulleimaro Seeberi from Buenos Aires in 1900 [1], is a rare chronic granulomatous condition usually affecting the anterior nares, caused by a fungus Rhinosporidiosisseeberi [1,2]. Ashworth in 1923 described the lifecycle of this fungus and established the name [1]. Though it is globally distributed but 90% cases are from Asia mainly from South India, Srilank...

Towards the end, the doctor was making suprapubic pressure to expel last portions of urine, and, on relievingthe pressure, to his utter amazement the catheter seemed to have been " sucked into" the bladder. An attempt at removing i...

PURPOSE We examined the effect of the Monarc suburethral sling on urethral mobility. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively studied the records of 54 consecutive women who received a Monarc suburethral sling between July 2005 and November 2008. All patients were examined by volume ultrasound preoperatively and at followup (average 0.7 years). Volume data sets were analyzed using post-proces...

Though it is not extremely frequent [1], every urologist should have detailled knowledge about the treatment for all these cases. The damage of the pelvic organs is often associated with the disturbance of integrity of the p...

This tumor is mainly composed of the ceruminous gland cells (modified apocrine sweat glands). These glands are localized deep in the skin mostly in the cartilaginous part of the external auditory meatus. The most often symptom of the ceruminous adenoma of external auditory meatus is...

Intermittent catheterisation is the preferred method of managing the neurogenic bladder in patients with spinal cord injury. However, spinal cord physicians experienced problems when trying to implement an intermittent catheterisation regime in some spinal cord injury patients in the northwest of England. We present illustrative cases to describe practical difficulties encountered by patients w...
