RESUMEN
Endometriosis denotes the abnormal growth of tissue resembling endometrium in ectopic sites and has largely been studied in women of reproductive age. It is an extremely rare phenomenon in men. We came across an exceptional clinical scenario of histologically proven bladder endometriosis in a 66-year-old man in relook bladder biopsy following completion of adjuvant intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guerin induction course for G3pTa bladder cancer. We have pencilled down pathophysiology and commonly seen predisposing factors for "endometriosis in male patients" from available case reports and applied those findings to hypothesise the disease profile of our patient in this case report.
RESUMEN
Abstract Despite its increasing use in the management of symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia, the long-term complications after potassium-titanyl-phosphate photoselective vaporization of the prostate are poorly reported. We describe a rare complication of this technology-calculi formation in the prostatic urethra. All patients presented with visible hematuria and variable lower urinary tract symptoms up to 5 years after the original surgery. In all cases, the calculi were successfully removed endoscopically. Possible causes for this unusual complication are discussed, and the importance of warning patients about this potential long-term complication are highlighted.

A man in his late 20s presented with a painless swelling in his left axilla accompanied with nocturnal sweating. On examination, there was a well circumscribed, pulsatile lump within the axilla. Subsequent imaging revealed an axillary artery aneurysm with thrombus within. Subsequent surgical repair was undertaken. Subsequent histological examination of the vessel revealed features characteristic of angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia.

Primary localized genitourinary amyloid deposition is a rare disease that can be confused with cancer. Amyloid tumours of the urethra are exceptionally rare, with only 40 cases having been reported in the literature since 1909. A case is presented herein, with a full review of the presenting features, coexisting conditions and pathology and recommendations for treatment, based on the findings in previously reported cases.
