Humanitarian surgical caravans for urogenital fistula cures are a godsend for patients with limited financial resources. Some patients with urogenital conditions other than fistulas sometimes take advantage of this opportunity to have their condition optimally managed.
We report the case of a 21-year-old woman. She had a history of genital mutilation in childhood.
Since childhood she had had an involuntary flow of urine through the vulval orifice.
She became one of the patients selected for the caravan of humanitarian surgery. Clinical examination revealed infibulation of the external genital organs. A labioplasty was successfully performed.

We report a case of prostate cancer metastasis from gastric cancer. Prostate metastasis of gastric cancer as the primary tumor is very rare, and it is difficult to distinguish using hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining alone. Because immunohistochemistry is also necessary, it is important to accurately share patient information with pathologists.

Cystic dysplasia of the rete testis is a rare congenital condition, commonly affecting children, and often presents as a painless scrotal swelling or testicular mass resembling malignancy. Frequently linked with genitourinary anomalies like ipsilateral renal agenesis or dysplasia. We report 14-year-old boy with progressive left scrotal swelling since early childhood. Imaging studies revealed cystic loculations displacing the testicular parenchyma, with normal tumor markers. A left orchidectomy was performed due to extensive lesion and complete parenchymal displacement, with histopathology confirming CDT. This case highlights the role of advanced imaging in accurate diagnosis and the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in management.

Paraganglioma originates from chromaffin cells of the sympathetic nervous system. Paraganglioma of urinary bladder are very rare tumors that arise from the ganglion cells and usually mistakenly have been diagnosed and treated because of its rarity and diverse symptoms. Here, we present our patient with incidental finding of non-functional paraganglioma of urinary bladder who showed no lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Timely diagnosis, treatment, and postoperative reviews are in effect for management of these patients.

Renal oncocytomas are relatively benign renal tumours, accounting for approximately 5 % of primary adult epithelial kidney neoplasms that are surgically removed.
The Bosniak classification is used to assist in estimating the probability of cancer and make recommendations for therapy or subsequent studies. We report a 52-year-old male who presented with a left renal cyst with an enhancing nodular component which showed interval increase in the size after one year (Bosniak IV). Given the diagnosis of Bosniak IV, a radical nephrectomy was performed. The diagnosis of renal oncocytoma was confirmed post-operatively through histopathological examination.

Sarcomatoid carcinoma is a malignant tumor of epithelial origin, some of the cells of which are differentiated in a sarcomatoid direction and are highly invasive. Sarcomatoid renal pelvis carcinoma (SRPC) is very rare. This article reports on an elderly woman with SRPC and discusses the clinical and pathological features and prognosis of SRPC in the hope of providing a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.

This case study explores massive tubular ectasia of the rete testes in a patient with Marfan syndrome. Marfan syndrome is a connective tissue disorder and has no known association with tubular ectasia in published research. Despite the unclear pathophysiology of tubular ectasia, potential causes include mechanical obstruction and congenital deformity. The patient, a male in his 40s, presented with bilateral testicular pain and swelling up to a volume of 200 cc over two years. Tubular ectasia was diagnosed on ultrasound and MRI, no obstructive aetiology was identified. Initial conservative management was chosen, but further enlargement led to reconsideration of treatment options.

Ureterocele is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the dilation of the distal ureter and its protrusion into the bladder, often related with duplex collecting renal system, leading to urinary obstruction.
While it commonly occurs in females, this case report presents the rare presentation of a massive ureterocele in a 2-day-old male neonate, causing urinary retention. A diagnostic workup revealed bilateral hydronephrosis and a massive ureterocele. Surgical intervention with endoscopic decompression of the ureterocele successfully alleviated the obstruction.
At one year follow-up, patient was completely asymptomatic and serial follow-up ultrasonography demonstrated resolution of hydronephrosis, highlighting the successful management.

Renal teratoma is a rare malignant tumour originating from pluripotent cells. A five-month-old female presented with a painless abdominal mass initially suspected to be a Wilms tumor. A CT scan showed a large tumor in the left abdomen, leading to a left open nephrectomy. Histopathology confirmed an immature Grade III teratoma, showing ectodermal, mesodermal, and endodermal components with neuroepithelial structures. Post-operatively, the patient was stable with a good surgical wound. Diagnosis of renal teratoma relies on histology, as pre-operative imaging may mimic other tumors. Surgical removal is the primary treatment, with chemotherapy for recurrence if necessary.

ANCA-associated vasculitis is a rare autoimmune disorder affecting small to medium-sized vessels, often targeting the respiratory tract and kidneys. Testicular involvement is rare and can resemble malignancy, leading to unnecessary surgery. A 36-year-old male presented with painful fingers, oral and nasal ulcers, and knee arthritis. Elevated proteinase 3 (PR3) antibodies confirmed PR3 ANCA-associated vasculitis. During hospitalization, patient developed testicular pain, and an ultrasound raised suspicion of malignancy. An inguinal orchidectomy was performed, revealing inflammation consistent with vasculitis, but no malignancy. Testicular involvement in ANCA vasculitis can mimic cancer, and increased awareness may help prevent unnecessary surgical procedures.
