Cystic lesions of adrenal gland are rare and usually asymptomatic in children. Cysts usually have been found incidentally by imaging studies during an investigation of other abdominal causes. Differential diagnosis of adrenal cysts from other cystic disease may not be possible by imaging studies. Although the management of adrenal cysts is a controversial subject, surgical treatment is still important for both diagnosis and treatment. In this case report, we will discuss the surgical approach of a case with adrenal cyst detected incidentally.

Bladder calculi are rare in children; they are typically associated with congenital abnormalities of the bladder, foreign bodies, intestinal mucosa, or infection. There is a high risk of bladder calculi with bladder exstrophy, a rare congenital condition. Primary bladder closure is usually performed in the first days of life, but subsequent bladder calculi are associated with about 15% of bladder exstrophy repairs. We report a case of hair-bearing epithelium serving as a nidus for intravesical stone formation in a 24-year-old male who underwent exstrophy repair as an infant. Our case emphasizes need for close and continued follow-up in patients who receive bladder exstrophy repair as infants. This is the first report in the literature of hair-bearing epithelium serving as the nidus for bladder stones in this unique patient population.

Ureterocele is the dilatation of the submucosal ureter as a result of a defect in the Chwalla membrane absorption. The many types and clinical presentations of ureters present a significant challenge to clinicians. Although stone formation in the ureterocele is common in adults, it is much less common in pediatric patients. Here, we present a case report of a two-year-old boy with single-system ureteroceles containing multiple small stones.
