  ABSTRACT: To describe the clinical case of a patient presenting a squamous cell carcinoma in a duplicated renal pelvis, after percutaneous nephrolithotomy. 60-year-old male patient who was diagnosed of a squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis in the pathological study of a lower pole nephrectomy after percutaneous nephrolithotomy for staghorn calculi in the left lower pole renal moiety. The patient suffered a bladder recurrence one year and a half later. A radical cystoprostatectomy was performed, but the patient died in a few months due to metastasis. Squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis is a rare tumor with poor prognosis, associated with stone disease and chronic infection. Taking biopsies from suspicious lesions during percutaneous nephrolithotomy may help early diagnosis and improve survival.

  ABSTRACT: Our purpose is to report a case of renal hydatidosis and its treatment. The characteristics of the case are presented and discussed. The hydotic disease is a parasitic infestation caused by the larvae from echinococcosis granulosus. The kidney ranks third among all visceral localitations, compromising only 2% to 4% of all cases. Most of patients are asymptomatic for years and the correct preoperative diagnosis is difficult.

  ABSTRACT: We report the case of a male patient who had undergone radical cystectomy and orthotopic neobladder for bladder cancer presenting with local recurrence eight months later. Diagnostic tests included CT scan and ultrasound guided transrectal biopsy With the diagnosis of local recurrence he underwent chemotherapy and radiotherapy The pelvic recurrence of transitional cell carcinoma after radical cystectomy is rare and prognosis is poor. It is frequently associated with advanced tumor stage. It should be treated by a multidisciplinary approach.
