Pheochromocytoma is a neuroendocrine tumor for which surgical resection is the main treatment.Malignant pheochromocytoma is very rare. Here,we present a case of adrenal pheochromocytoma invading the ureteral wall muscle layer, which resulted in left adrenal and left nephrectomy.

Pelvic floor disorders frequently occur as the result of excessive straining from chronic constipation or the trauma of vaginal childbirth, making them more common in women. We present a 62-year-old male with bladder prolapse through the anterior rectal wall in the setting of longstanding bladder holding behavior and excessive straining to void. We performed a novel robotic-assisted laparoscopic cystoprostosacropexy by anchoring the bladder and prostate to the sacrum to prevent bladder descent. Postoperatively, the bladder prolapse resolved with return of normal urinary function. This case underscores the potential of innovative surgical techniques in managing complex pelvic floor disorders in males.

Multicystic dysplastic kidney is a congenital anomaly typically diagnosed in infancy, rare in adults, in our case of a 25-year-old Sudanese female presented with left flank pain. Imaging showed the left kidney replaced by cysts, consistent with MCDK, and ovarian cyst. She underwent a successful open simple nephrectomy; and histopathology confirmed MCDK. Our case highlights diagnostic and management challenges of MCDK in adults. Conservative management is increasing, especially for asymptomatic patients with normal contralateral kidney function. Healthcare barriers in Sudan, including limited awareness and political unrest, complicate timely diagnosis and treatment. Multidisciplinary care and improved healthcare access are essential.

Renal Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is an exceptionally rare and aggressive form of RCC (renal cell carcinoma), comprising of 0.5–1% of all adult RCC. This disease constitutes a 5-year 25 % overall survival. We present a rare case of renal leiomyosarcoma in a 58 year-old Caucasian female with final pathologic staging of pT2 who underwent robotic-assisted right partial nephrectomy. Despite negative margins, given her aggressive histology, adjunctive treatment is discussed.

Urachal tumors are rare and comprise of both benign and malignant neoplasms. Epithelial origin tumors are more common than mesenchymal origin tumors. We report a case Urachal inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMFT) in a 12 year old boy who presented with symptoms of lower abdominal pain and burning micturition. Upon evaluation was found to have a soft tissue mass anterior to urinary bladder wall. A laparoscopic excision of tumor was done. Histopathological and immunohistochemical examination confirmed the diagnosis of IMFT. Next generation sequencing identified FN1-ALK gene fusion.

Ovarian vein syndrome is a rare condition involving the compression of the ureter by the ovarian vein. Since it was first described, very few cases have been reported in literature. We present a case of a 37-year-old female with typical symptoms and common right-side involvement. The imaging findings on ultrasound, CT, and nuclear medicine imaging are classic for her condition.

Testicular cancer found incidentally during gender-affirming orchiectomy is infrequently reported in the literature. This report details a 27-year-old transgender woman whose testicular cancer was discovered incidentally upon routine histopathologic examination of the orchiectomy specimen. The patient did not present with any clinical signs of malignancy. There was no evidence of metastases after further workup and the patient was able to resume hormone therapy after surgery. Transgender individuals must be screened according to their natal anatomy and even in absence of clinical signs excised tissue should be examined for possible malignancy.

Balanitis xerotica obliterans (BXO) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the male genitalia that is mostly underdiagnosed and undertreatment. We presented a 40-year-old man with meatal stenosis and an inability to urinate. Discoloration at the tip of the penis was found, and he said it got wider as he grew up. We conducted meatotomy and meatoplasty to release obstruction. Early diagnosis is essential to avoid complications.
