[A case of posterior urethral polyp in a child].
A case of posterior urethral polyp in a child is reported. A 14-year-old boy presented to our hospital with the chief complaint of a sense of residual urine. Ultrasound sonography and cystoscopy showed a posterior urethral tumor (1.5 cm x 1.8 cm). Transurethral resection was performed, and the pathological diagnosis was a fibrous polyp. One year after transurethral resection, the patient showed no signs of recurrence. Only 8 cases of posterior urethral polyp in children have been previously reported in the Japanese literature.
Abstract Background The objective of this study was to identify the prognostic impact of parameters in peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal cancer. Methods We collected data from patients treated by cytoreductive surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy for peritoneal carcinomatosis secondary to colorectal cancer. Results Ninety-one procedures were performed. In univariate analysis, an increased peritoneal cancer index was associated with decreased survival ( P P P = .01). The presence of a mucinous component was associated with a decreased of survival from 51.9 to 35.1 months ( P = .02). Conclusions Clinical factors were affecting the survival of patients. The absence of signet ring cells and mucinous component and the presence of microsatellite sequences instability may be favorable prognostic factors.
