Repeated penile girth enhancement with biodegradable scaffolds: Microscopic ultrastructural analysis and surgical benefits.
Abstract
Autologous tissue engineering using biodegradable scaffolds as a carrier is a well-known procedure for penile girth enhancement. We evaluated a group of previously treated patients with the aim to analyze histomorphometric changes after tissue remodeling and to estimate the benefits of repeated procedure. Between February 2012 and December 2016, a group of 21 patients, aged 22-37 (mean 28.0) years, underwent a repeated penile girth enhancement procedure with biodegradable scaffolds. Procedure included insertion of two poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid scaffolds seeded with laboratory-prepared fibroblas...

The Value of Ga-68 PSMA PET /CT in Primary Staging of Prostate Cancer
Conclusion: The overall results suggest clinical utility of Ga68-PSMA scan in prostate cancer. The Ga68-PSMA scan had high sensitivity with histopathological diagnosis. The scan was able to detect distant metastasis even with low Gleason scores. Ga68 PSMA is a valuable tool for prostate cancer staging . (Source: Journal of Nuclear Medicine)

Genitogluteal porokeratosis: a clinical review.
Authors: Joshi R, Minni K
Abstract
Porokeratosis is an uncommon disorder of keratinization that presents with keratotic papules or annular plaques that expand centrifugally with a thread-like elevated border. A distinctive histologic structure, the cornoid lamella, is diagnostic of this disorder and consists of a column of parakeratosis with the absence of the granular layer and dyskeratotic cells in the upper spinous zone. Porokeratosis confined to the genitogluteal region is rare and may be subclassified into three types, namely, classical porokeratosis on the genital region, ptychotropic porokeratosis m...

Penile metastasis secondary to nasal-type extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma: A case report and review of the literature.
Authors: Li Y, Fu X, Wu J, Yu C, Li Z, Sun Z, Yan J, Nan F, Zhang X, Li L, Li X, Zhang L, Li W, Wang G, Zhang M
Abstract
Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (NKTL), nasal-type is one of the most aggressive lymphoid malignancies and is characterized by an extremely poor survival outcome. The present study reports the case of a 39-year-old Chinese male with history of extranodal NKTL who presented with a painless indurated mass in the glans penis. The results of an incisional biopsy revealed atypical cells that were positive for CD3, CD56, T-cell-restricted intracellular antigen-1, granzyme B and Epste...

An 80 year old hermaphroditic with Hugh Brenner tumor: A rare case report and review of literature
Conclusion The morphological expression of a true hermaphroditism is an “ovotestis” which can be classified into three different categories and require a tissue biopsy for confirmation. The association of a Brenner tumour in a hermaphroditic patient makes this report a significant contribution to human sexual differentiation literature. (Source: African Journal of Urology)
