Retroperitoneal lipomas are a heterogeneous group of mesenchymal tumors. They are usually large and occur most frequently in the retroperitoneal, perineal and pelvic regions. Lipomas grow slowly surrounding the retroperitoneal and pelvic organs, with a displacement of bowel and vascular axis. A case of a 61-year-old male patient which referred urinary frequency, urgency and nocturia is presented. Urodynamics evidenced a detrusor instability in a low capacity bladder. CT scan demonstrated a bladder dome compression due to a huge retroperitoneal mass extending from the right hepatic lobe to the hypogastric region and the right thigh. Surgical complete resection was performed: histology demonstrated a lipoma with areas of well differentiated myxoid degeneration. After surgery the irritative urinary symptoms disappeared. This is the first case described in literature of detrusor instability due to bladder compression by retroperitoneal lipoma.

The small cell carcinoma is a neuroendocrine tumour characterised by an aggressive clinical course and a high mortality rate. It occurs most commonly in the lung. Small cell carcinomas originating in the genitourinary system have been diagnosed with increasing frequency in recent years, because of the use of immunohistochemistry. Prostatic small cell carcinomas present the same biological behavior and similar histological, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural features to small cell carcinomas of the lungs. We describe the clinico-pathological findings in a 65-year-old male patient with a diagnosis of prostatic small cell carcinoma, obtained by means of a tru-cut needle biopsy. We performed the immunohistochemical tests using neuron-specific enolase and chromogranin A antibodies, according to the literature. On the basis of our experience we stress the malignant features of small cell carcinoma and the difficulty in obtaining an early diagnosis and treatment because of the aggressive course of the lesion and the late symptomatology.

Carcinoma of the papilla is a rare cancer of the digestive tract; 5% of all gastrointestinal tract malignant neoplasms are periampullary. The authors report and discuss the case of one of their patients aged 79 years suffering from a tumour of the papilla. The case was characterized by the large size of the neoplasm (5.5 cm in diameter) and by the poor clinical conditions of the patient, who was suffering from Parkinson's disease and was at high operative risk. The surgical strategy chosen involved transduodenal excision of the tumour with duodenum-bile duct anastomosis and internal duodenum-Wirsung duct anastomosis. The authors first examine the hypothesis that carcinoma of the papilla may represent the evolution of an adenomatous lesion and then go on to assess the therapeutic strategy adopted in the treatment of these neoplasms: in patients at high operative risk a transduodenal excision of the tumour with duodenum-bile duct anastomosis and internal duodenum-Wirsung duct anastomosis may be a valid alternative to the conventional Whipple procedure.

We report a case of synchronous bilateral renal carcinoma treated by partial nephrectomy on the right and total nephrectomy on the left. Follow-up at 42 months after surgery showed no recurrence of the disease. The increasing use of diagnostic imaging techniques such as ultrasound tomography, computerised tomography and nuclear magnetic resonance now allows even small-sized renal formations to be identified. Synchronous bilateral renal tumour has a favourable prognosis, especially when compared with single or asynchronous renal tumours. The recommended intervention is total monolateral nephrectomy combined with partial nephrectomy. The treatment of neoplasms at a more advanced stage, of such a nature as to necessitate bilateral nephrectomy or chemotherapy, results in a significant increase in mortality. Recently, biological therapy has been proposed as a more promising short-term option using interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) and gamma.

Background: Surgical treatment of anal fistulas is still a challenge. The aims of this study were to evaluate the adoption and healing rates for the different surgical techniques used in Italy over the past 15 years. Methods: This was a multicenter retrospective observational study of patients affected by simple and complex anal fistulas of cryptoglandular origin who were surgically treated in the period 2003–2017. Surgical techniques were grouped as sphincter-cutting or sphincter-sparing and as technology-assisted or techno-free. All patients included in the study were followed for at least 12 months. Results: A total of 9,536 patients (5,520 simple; 4,016 complex fistulas) entered the study. For simple fistulas, fistulotomy was the most frequently used procedure, although its adoption significantly decreased over the years (P < .0005), with an increase in sphincter-sparing approaches; the overall healing rate in simple fistulas was 81.1%, with a significant difference between sphincter-cutting (91.9%) and sphincter-sparing (65.1%) techniques (P = .001). For complex fistulas, the adoption of sphincter-cutting approaches decreased, while sphincter-sparing techniques were mildly preferred (P < .0005). Moreover, there was a significant trend toward the use of technology-assisted procedures. The overall healing rate for complex fistulas was 69.0%, with a measurable difference between sphincter-cutting (81.1%) and sphincter-sparing (61.4%; P = .001) techniques and between techno-free and technology-assisted techniques (72.5% and 55.0%, respectively; P = .001). Conclusion: Surgical treatment of anal fistulas has changed, with a trend toward the use of sphincter-sparing techniques. The overall cure rate has remained stable, even if the most innovative procedures have achieved a lower success rate.
