Abstract
Prostatic hyperplasia is very common in elderly men and is a typical disease that reduces quality of life. Histologically, hyperplasia of the prostate gland causes obstruction at the bladder outlet, resulting in symptoms such as a weak urine stream. Various factors have been considered to cause histological enlargement of the prostate, but the underlying cause is still unknown. The factors that cause prostate hyperplasia can be broadly classified into intrinsic and extrinsic ones. Extrinsic factors include things that we directly come into contact with such as bacteria and food. On the other hand, intrinsic factors are those that cause changes in functions originally provided in the body due to some cause, including extrinsic factors, such as chronic inflammation and an imbalance of sex hormones. A large number of reports have been made to date regarding the etiology of prostatic hyperplasia, although they have not yet clarified the fundamental cause(s). The various factors currently known should be outlined for future research. Should it be possible to prevent this highly prevalent prostatic hyperplasia which is mainly cause of dcreasing quality of life, there is no doubt that it would be a huge contribution to humanity.

Abstract
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in the pediatric and adolescent population, with 350 new cases diagnosed each year. While they can develop anywhere in the body, the genitourinary tract is the second most common primary location for an RMS to develop. Overall survival has improved through the increased use of protocols and multidisciplinary approaches. However, the guidelines for management continue to change as systemic and radiation therapeutics advance. Given the relative rarity of this disease compared to other non-solid childhood malignancies, healthcare providers not directly managing RMS may not be familiar with their presentation and updated management. This review aims to provide foundational knowledge of the management of RMSs with an emphasis on specific management paradigms for those arising from the genitourinary tract. The genitourinary tract is the second most common location for an RMS to develop but varies greatly in symptomology and survival depending on the organ of origin. As the clinical understanding of these tumors advances, treatment paradigms have evolved. Herein, we describe the breadth of presentations for genitourinary RMSs with diagnostic and treatment management considerations, incorporating the most recently available guidelines and societal consensus recommendations.

Surgical resection of a massive residual retroperitoneal mass after chemotherapy for a paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma: a case report. J Med Case Rep 2022; 16:476. [PMID: 36550579 PMCID: PMC9783374 DOI: 10.1186/s13256-022-03707-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2022] [Accepted: 12/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare and aggressive mesenchymal tumor, accounting for only 7% of all rhabdomyosarcomas. It is mainly encountered in children and adolescents. The standard treatment consists of radical orchidectomy with negative surgical margins. However, chemotherapy is recommended to control retroperitoneal micrometastasis. The place of surgery for progressive retroperitoneal lymph node metastases remains controversial. We present a case of paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma with progressive retroperitoneal lymph node metastases treated with surgery. CASE REPORT We report a case of a 17-year-old North African male with no particular medical history who presented with a left scrotal mass that had been evolving for several months. Beta-human chorionic gonadotropin, alpha-fetoprotein, and lactate dehydrogenase were normal. Scrotal ultrasonography revealed the presence of a 6 cm heterogeneous hypoechogenic tissular mass with cystic areas adherent to the left scrotal wall, which was thickened in some places and vascularized by color Doppler. It exerted a mass effect on the homolateral testicle, which was of average volume. The thoracic-abdominal-pelvic computed tomography scan showed the presence of suspicious paraaortic lymph nodes. The most voluminous one measured 16 × 23 mm2. A left orchidectomy was performed. The final pathology report revealed an 8 cm paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma of the embryonic type that displaced the testicle without invading it. Without going beyond it, it infiltrated the epididymis, the rete testis, and the albuginea. The surgical margin at the level of the spermatic cord was free. The patient had adjuvant chemotherapy (ifosfamide, vincristine, and dactinomycin). The patient had a challenging paraaortic lymph node dissection since the mass enlaced the left ureter and renal vessels. On histological examination, the paraaortic lymph nodes were metastatic. CONCLUSION Rhabdomyosarcoma is an aggressive malignancy with high metastatic potential. Therefore, only an accurate diagnosis and early treatment can ensure better survival. Surgery in expert hands seems to be a good option for progressive retroperitoneal nodes. However, further studies are needed to determine the place of surgery in this setting.

A Web-Based Prognostic Model for Pediatric Genitourinary Rhabdomyosarcoma: Analysis of Population-Based Cohort With External Validation. Front Public Health 2022; 10:870187. [PMID: 35619827 PMCID: PMC9127601 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2022.870187] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2022] [Accepted: 03/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background We conduct an analysis of data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, intending to identify prognostic factors of pediatric genitourinary rhabdomyosarcoma (PGU–RMS). Prognostic nomogram and web-based calculator were developed for potential clinical use. Methods Data of PGU–RMS patients were extracted from the SEER database as training and internal validation cohort, patients diagnosed as PGU–RMS from 2001 to 2015 in Beijing Children's Hospital were collected as an external validation cohort. We used log-rank tests to seek risk factors on the overall survival (OS) in the overall SEER cohort, tumor site subgroups, radiation subgroups, and metastasis subgroups. The univariable and multivariate Cox regression analyses were applied to establish the prognosis model. Results A total of 372 PGU-RMS patients in SEER and 84 patients from our center were included. 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS of the overall SEER cohort were 95.8, 82.1, and 78.8%. Subgroup analysis indicated that tumors located in the prostate/bladder were associated with a worse prognosis than the paratesticular, female genital system, and other sites (P < 0.001). Tumors of the T1/T2 stage, without regional lymph node, involvement or metastasis, can benefit from radiotherapy (P < 0.05). For patients without metastasis, younger age, T1/T2 stage, and undergoing radiation were associated with better prognosis (P < 0.05). The prognosis nomogram was well-calibrated, the concordance index (C-index) for the OS prediction was 0.823, 0.803, and 0.768 in training, internal and external validation cohort, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for 3-, and 5-year OS were 0.84, 0.84 in the training cohort, 0.90, 0.84 in internal validation cohort and 0.75, 0.80 in the external validation cohort. Decision curve analysis showed good clinical utility. The predictive performance of the nomogram was higher than the Intergroup Rhabdomyosarcoma Study Group (IRSG) pretreatment stage system based on the comparison of overtime C-index, net reclassification index, and integrated discriminatory index (P < 0.001). Conclusion A comprehensive analysis of OS for PGU–RMS patients was conducted based on population cohort. The established prognosis nomogram has been fully validated and evaluated, exhibits better performance than the IRSG pretreatment stage system. Furthermore, a web-based risk calculator was developed to optimize clinical decisions.
