A 40-year-old man with asymptomatic gross hematuria visited our hospital. He had been followed up on the horseshoe kidney and left ureteral stone. Cystoscopy revealed a flow of gross hematuria from the left orifice. Drip infusion pyelography, retrograde pyelography, abdominal computerized tomography, magnetic resonance imaging revealed a renal pelvic mass in the upper pole of left kidney. Left ...

The clinical features of 17 patients with benign urachal masses and 30 patients with urachal carcinoma treated at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center were analyzed retrospectively. Univariate analysis indicated that seven parameters differed significantly between the two groups. Binary logistic regression analyses showed that the rate of gross hematuria was significantly higher (P = 0.042, Exp...

INTRODUCTION Ureteroiliac fistulas are rare but potentially life-threatening. Risk factors to develop a fistula are chronic indwelling ureteral stents, previous pelvic surgery and radiotherapy. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of a patient with intermittent gross hematuria after previous abdominal surgery, radiotherapy and indwelling ureteric stents. After several diagnostic and therapeutic...

Renal hemangioma is an uncommon benign tumor which usually causes painless or painful gross hematuria. Its preoperative diagnosis is extremely difficult or even impossible. We experienced three cases of renal hemangioma, located mainly at the pelvocalyceal junction or in the inner medulla. US demonstrated variable echogenecity, and CT revealed a lack of significant enhancement. Where there is g...

OBJECTIVE To describe the case of a patient with gross hematuria. The pathological study revealed a subepithelial hematoma of the renal pelvis (Antopol-Goldman lesion). METHODS/RESULTS An 86 year-old woman presented with gross hematuria through the right ureteral orifice. A filling defect is visualized in the right renal pelvis on CT and right nephroureterectomy was carried out after the di...

AIM To describe an unusual symptom of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). METHODS A patient presented to our urology clinic having experienced post-coital gross hematuria for 2 years. He had not experienced lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). A series of examinations were performed to determine the source of bleeding. RESULTS The prostate was defined as the active bleeding source responsib...

We report a case of multiple hemangiomas involving the urinary bladder in a 4-year-old boy who presented with recurrent episodes of gross hematuria. On ultrasonography, compared with the bladder wall, the lesions presented as multiple isoechoic polypoid intraluminal masses with mildly increased vascularity on color Doppler exam. Cavernous hemangioma was confirmed by cold-cup biopsy, and the all...

OBJECTIVE To identify patients who could safely avoid unnecessary radiation and instrumentation after the detection of microscopic hematuria. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a prospective cohort study of patients who were referred to urologists and underwent a full evaluation for asymptomatic microscopic hematuria during a 2-year period in an integrated care organization in 3 regions along ...
