Review Case Reports
[Two Cases of Urinary Retention with Prostatic Abscess Drained by Transurethral Resection].
A 58-year-old male with alcoholic liver cirrhosis and a 58-year-old male with diabetes mellitus presented with high fever and urinary retention. Prostatic abscess was diagnosed by a computed tomography scan, which showed fluid collection in the prostate in both patients. ⋯ They underwent prostatic abscess drainage by transurethral resection (TUR). Urinary retention was released, and the recurrence of prostatic abscess has not been observed after TUR.

Review Case Reports
[A case of chronic expanding hematoma with xanthogranuloma in retroperitoneal space].
Chronic expanding hematoma (CEH), which is defined as persistent hematoma manifesting as enlarging space-occupying mass, rarely occurs in the retroperitoneal space. Here, we report a case of retroperitoneal CEH with xanthogranulama. A 72-year-old man with a history of genuine polycythemia was admitted for idiopathic renal subcapsular hematoma 3 years ago. ⋯ Microscopic findings showed that the hematoma capsule consisted of collagenous tissue with chronic inflammatory infiltrate and foreign-body granuloma with foam cells and giant cells. The final diagnosis was CEH with xanthogranuloma. Our case suggests that early resection for retroperitoneal CEH may be desirable to avoid severe adhesion and invasion around the capsule.

Review Case Reports
[A case of empysematous cystitis which was found incidentally].
A 49-year-old female visited our hospital with a complaint of pelvic pain. She was under treatment for diabetes mellitus and dilated cardiomyopathy. Radiography revealed a radiolucent area in the bladder. ⋯ These findings were consistent with a diagnosis of emphysematous cystitis. The urine culture yielded Escherichia coli. After urinary drainage and antibiotic therapy, she was cured of emphysematous cystitis.

Review Case Reports
[A case of metachronous testicular tumor developing seven years after complete remission of retroperitoneal extragonadal germ cell tumor].
A 26-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a chief complaint of left cervical lymphadenopathy. He was diagnosed as having seminoma by needle biopsy. Computed tomography revealed an aorto-caval retroperitoneal tumor. ⋯ Neither distant metastasis nor lymph node metastasis was detected by computed tomography. Right radical orchiectomy was performed and histology revealed seminoma with yolk sac tumor components. No recurrence has been seen after 10 months.

Review Case Reports
[Localized Fournier's gangrene of the penis: a case report].
Fournier's gangrene is a rare disease with rapidly progressive necrotising fasciitis of the genital, perineal and perianal regions and leads to sepsis and death. We reported a case of localized Fournier's gangrene of the penis. A 23-year-old man suffered an abrasion of the penis during oral sex with a commercial sex worker. ⋯ According to the clinical symptoms and diagnostic imaging by using magnetic resonance imaging, we diagnosed Fournier's gangrene. Immediately, we started broad-spectrum antibacterial chemotherapy and performed debridement. The postoperative course was good and then the open wound was closed with artificial corium and full thickness skin graft to avoid erectile disturbance.
