RESUMEN
There has been a controversy for almost 80 years about the usefulness of vasectomy in the prevention of acute epididymo-orchitis (EO) after prostatic adenomectomy (PA). In the last few years, improved surgical equipment and new more effective antibiotics have drastically diminished the incidence of this complication. The purpose of this report is to show that because of the devastating effect of the disease, and in spite of its low incidence there is still a clear indication for vasectomy, and also that infected urine, a preoperative indwelling urethral catheter, duration of postoperative catheterization and postoperative complications do not affect the incidence of post-PA acute EO.

We report a case of an inverted papilloma of the ureter. The clinical presentation, biological behaviour and management of this extremely rare lesion are reviewed. Although behaving benignly, their malignant potential remains to be established. These tumors should be part of the differential diagnosis in ureteral tumors.

We report 2 cases of adenocarcinoma of the prostate with concomitant non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Only 9 cases of this rare combination have been reported. Both cases are responding well to treatment. The 1st case is 17 years since the diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of prostate and 6 years since the appearance of the lymphoma. The 2nd case is 1 year after being operated on for a gastric lymphoma and 7 months since the diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of prostate was made.

Between 1964 and 1980 we reviewed 103 patients with benign renal cysts. Their treatment ranged from nephrectomy to observation and follow-up only. It was concluded that the best form of therapy for this condition is regular follow-up.
