    Leiomyomas are benign tumors originating from smooth muscles. Uterus is the common site they are originated. However, genitourinary leiomyomas are the least common type of non-uterine types. We are reporting a case of right-side scrotal spermatic cord leiomyoma in a 26-year-old man presenting as a painless mass. According to the ultrasonography report as an extratesticular mass, he underwent trans-inguinal tumor resection surgery. A well-defined creamy-white ovoid mass with whorling cut surface which was tightened to the posterior of the cord was resected and then sent to pathology service where histologically the diagnosis of leiomyoma was made. Leiomyoma, having concerned its rarity, can be a possible differential diagnosis of extratesticular masses

    Mild pericardial effusion is common in severe form of hypothyroidism but massive pericardial effusion with or without cardiac tamponade is rare. A 49 year-old male with a short stature, large head and facial puffiness, was brought to the emergency department because of progressive altered mental status and severe dyspnea. Cardiac tamponade and hypothyroidism were diagnosed in work ups. Lack of thyroid tissue in his imagines, confirmed the diagnosis of thyroid agenesis. With pericardiocenthesis, hydration and starting levothyroxine his clinical symptoms were resolved dramatically. Our case was presented with full-blown clinical manifestations and irreversible consequences of congenital hypothyroidism. This shows us the important role of newborn screening tests.

The overall mortality rate has been reported to be between19%to 43% and few cases in kidney allograft have been reported. All of the documented cases of emphysematous pyelonephritis have occurred in adults Juvenile diabetic patients do not appear to be at risk. Female are affected more often than male.we report A 66-year-old diabetic man with ESRD (end stage renal disease) received deceased renal transplant two mounts after transplantation admitted in hospital , with complain of reduced urine out-put an increase in serum creatinine (Cr) level,fever and abdominal pain..
