Zinner syndrome, a rare congenital anomaly affecting males, is characterized by atresia of the ejaculatory duct, seminal vesicle cysts, and ipsilateral renal agenesis. This case report details a 2-year-old boy successfully treated with laparoscopic excision of a dilated vas deferens and seminal vesicle cyst. The rarity of Zinner syndrome in pediatric patients underscores the importance of understanding its diagnosis and minimally invasive surgical management.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the predominant solid lesion found in the kidney. Extra-renal RCC is a rare entity. We present the case of a 75-year-old male with an incidentally discovered mass in the right iliac fossa. The patient underwent active surveillance because a percutaneous biopsy revealed a mesenchymal neoplastic lesion of benign biological behavior. As the mass had high growth rates, a decision for open surgical exploration and excision was made. The pathology results indicated clear cell renal carcinoma, and negative results on F-FDG whole-body positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) established the diagnosis of extra-renal clear cell RCC. Similar types of neoplasms are extremely rare and are estimated to have developed primarily in mesodermal embryonic remnants. Clinicians should be aware of this rare entity as its diagnosis is challenging and is based on pathology.

Adenocarcinoma, HPV-independent, mesonephric type (hereafter referred to as "mesonephric carcinoma") arising from the cervix is rare, its treatment has not been established, and its sensitivity to chemotherapy has not been fully investigated. Here we report on a 30-year-old female patient who presented at our hospital with a chief complaint of abnormal genital bleeding. We suspected cervical cancer. Based on examination, biopsy, and imaging, she was diagnosed with stage IIA2 adenocarcinoma of the cervix and was scheduled for surgery. Because she had a SARS-COV-2 infection, she was given two courses of paclitaxel-carboplatin (TC) therapy, based on the then-current surgical risk assessment after SARS-COV-2 infection, with a waiting period of at least 8 weeks. The patient was deemed to have a partial response and was treated with paclitaxel and carboplatin, after which she was deemed to have a partial response and underwent total hysterectomy. A diagnosis of stage IIA2 mesonephric carcinoma, ypT1b2N0M0, was made after histopathologic examination of an excised specimen. The patient was treated with 4 additional courses of TC therapy after surgery, and has had no recurrence in 13 months. We report a first case of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy with TC regimen in a patient with mesonephric carcinoma of the cervix.
