This study aimed to present a comprehensive literature review of the efforts of a spinal cord injury workgroup in Taiwan regarding urologic surgery for neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) in patients with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI). Surgical procedures should be viewed as a final option for managing patients with SCI who have persistent symptoms and complications that cannot be resolved by other means. Surgeries can be grouped according to their purpose: reducing bladder pressures, reducing urethra resistance, increasing urethra resistance, and urinary diversion. The choice of surgery depends on the type of LUTD based on urodynamic tests. Additionally, cognitive function, hand motility, comorbidities, efficacy of surgery, and related complications should be considered.
Cellular angiofibroma is a rare benign tumor which is found in the vulvovaginal or inguinoscrotal region. To the best of our knowledge, there have been no reports that describe two cellular angiofibromas on the same side of the scrotum. Here, we report the case of an 89-year-old male patient with two scrotal tumors which were proven to be cellular angiofibromas after the biopsy specimen was examined. The tumor markers were CD34 (+), focally positive for S-100, actin (−), desmin (−), estrogen receptor (−), progesterone receptor (−), beta-catenin (−), CD99 (−), and B-cell lymphoma 2 (−)
