Urinomas can occur after renal trauma or perforation of the collecting system during an endosurgical procedure. However, spontaneous urinomas are very rare. Here we report a case of a spontaneous perinephric urinoma following the removal of a Foley catheter in an 18-year-old girl with acute kidney injury caused by septic shock. The patient had been treated for septic shock, acute kidney injury, and acute respiratory distress syndrome, and had a Foley catheter in place for seven days. After Foley catheter removal, the patient complained of consistent voiding difficulty. An abdominal computed tomography scan showed a large amount of left perinephric fluid, and the aspirated fluid included urothelial cells, confirming the diagnosis of a urinoma. The urinoma was successfully treated by insertion of a double-J stent into the left ureter. This report discusses the available literature on urinomas, and their clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment.

Multilocular cystic renal neoplasm of low malignant potential (MCRNLMP) is a rare subtype of renal cell carcinoma that has a favorable outcome. Most cases of MCRNLMP usually present as distinct multilocular cystic lesions; however, they may appear as small complicated cysts with hemorrhagic components. Herein, we present a case of MCRNLMP and provide a review of the literature.

Marsupialization and decompression constitute a well-established procedure for treating cavitary bone lesions of the jaw. The technique can be a primary treatment option, especially for pediatric patients with large cysts or lesions involving vital anatomical structures, such as a developing tooth germ. In this procedure, a decompression stent, such as a customized acrylic obturator or space-maintaining appliance, silicone tube, or nasal cannula, is inserted to maintain the patency of the cyst. However, this may cause clinical problems, such as irritation or trauma to the adjacent tissues, as well as discomfort to the patient, or failure of the stent due to cyst shrinkage. It can also be a reason for patient noncompliance. In the cases described here, a minimally invasive marsupialization technique using a metal tube made from a 16-gauge needle was used for odontogenic cysts in pediatric patients associated with unerupted teeth. Through this method, the lesions were removed, with patient cooperation, and the cyst-associated teeth erupted spontaneously.

Sweat gland cancer is very rare with a reported incidence of less than 0.005% of all tumor specimens resected surgically. Diagnosis and management of these cancers are difficult, due to the limited reports in the literature. Here we present a case of an eccrine adenocarcinoma in the retroauricular area and report this case with a review of the literature.

Dermoid cysts are benign neoplasm that is derived from both ectoderm and mesoderm. They may be found at various sites of the body, but are extremely rare to occur in the lower neck. We present the case of a 22-year old woman with a midline cystic mass anterior to the cervical trachea. The mass was excised under local anesthesia. Histopathologically the diagnosis was confirmed as a dermoid cyst.

Renal cyst was detected in a mongrel dog aged 3 months old. The most prominent clinical abnormalities were vomiting, loss of appetite, depression, abdominal swelling and lethargy. Gross appearances included ascites and bilaterally irregular capsular surfaces of the kidneys. Characteristic microscopical findings were various sized cysts formation, shrunken glomeruli with hypercellularity, connective tissue porliferation in the interstitum, tubular dilatation and sligth leukocytic infiltration. The cause. of the renal disorder in a mongrel dog could not be determined.

A 6-year-old, intact male maltese was presented with hindlimb ataxia of 4 day duration. Physical and neurological examinations revealed a bright, alert, and responsive dog, with no evidence of cranial nerve deficits, conscious proprioceptive deficits. Spinal reflexes of the hind and forelimbs were normal. Patellar, cranial tibial, and withdrawal reflexes were normal. Pain could not be elicited on manipulation of the neck or palpation of the spinal column. Survey radiographs of the vertebral column were unremarkable. Computed tomography (CT) scans in the transverse plane were performed. The results of CT imaging were unremarkable. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in both sagittal and transverse planes was performed. The extent of the lesion was 25 mm in length by 4 mm in thickness. The spinal cord was deviated ventrally and appreared thinner. On T1-weighted and FLAIR images, a discrete hypointense lesion dorsal to the spinal cord was observed at L1-2 which was contiguous with the subarachnoid space. On T2-weighted images, this region was hyperintense, consistent with a fluid-filled structure. The signal intensity of the cysts was equivalent to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Surgical treatment involving dorsal laminectomy had successful outcomes.

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a genetic disorder that affects multiple organ systems and causes tumors. It is important that physicians are aware of the manifestations of TSC, and that they follow the recommendations for screening and evaluation. Several types of renal abnormalities may develop in individuals with TSC. Individuals with TSC may require ongoing treatment that can be adapted for each arising manifestation of renal disease. Herein, we report 4 patients with TSC who presented with a range of different renal manifestations, including angiomyolipoma, renal cell carcinoma, renal infarction, renal cyst, and nephrolithiasis.

It is well known that $^{99m}Tc-DISIDA$ hepatobilliary scan is a noninvasive and accurate method for detecting choledochal cyst. In the case we are reporting, $^{99m}Tc-DISIDA$ scan of a 17 year old female patient showed the characteristic pattern of a choledochal cyst, confirmed by surgery.

An urinoma(uriniferous pseudocyst, pararenal pseudocyst) denotes an encapsulated collection of urine in the perirenal or paraureteral space. It was usually reported in relation to trauma and acquired obstructive uropathy but rarely reported in renal infection including renal candidiasis. The mechanism is believed due to rupture of fornix through weakened portion of suppurated kidney and pyelosinus backflow by increased intrapelvic pressure in obstructive uropathy and fungus ball obstruction. We report a case of urinoma in a premature as the first case in Korea which developed as a complication of renal candidiasis.
