Bladder cancer represents the 6th most common for men and is classified into muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) and non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). NMIBC (T1, Ta, Tis), accounting for approximately 75% of new bladder cancer diagnoses, is limited to the mucosa, submucosa, and lamina propria. Studies have approximated the rate of recurrence in NMIBC between 50 - 70%, which sometimes progresses to muscle invasive disease. Management of NMIBC ranges from surveillance, intravesical chemotherapy to radical cystectomy (RC) and is dependent upon the TNM staging and grading of the tumor. Clinically, staging is determined via imaging, physical exam, and histology on transurethral …

Spinal Epidural Lipomatosis (SEL) an excess of normal adipose tissue in the epidural space of the spinal canal, typically becoming symptomatic when cord compression results. First described in 1975 by Lee et al (Lee M, 1975), it is a relatively rare disease. Unfortunately, it is often diagnosed once patients have developed marked symptoms and can have dire complications. Oftentimes SEL is completely asymptomatic, and symptoms on initial presentation are vague. Mostly commonly it presents as worsening chronic back pain (Daniel R. Fassett M.D. M.B.A., 2004) with progressive lower extremity weakness and occasional cauda equina syndrome (Wells AJ, 2014), but this …
