Urethral polyp-like lesions on prostatic urethra caused by Chlamydia trachomatis infection: a case report.
Urethral polyp is one of differential diagnoses for the male patients complain of gross-hematuria and/or hematospermia. However, there have been limited numbers of case reports including infectious etiology. Here we reported clinical course and pathological findings of one rare case who was diagnosed and treated as urethral polyp-like lesions on the prostatic urethra caused by Chlamydia trachomatis infection. A 25 year-old man who had a past history of frequent sexual intercourse with unspecified female sexual partner visited the clinic. His chief complaint was gross-hematuria and hematospermia. Endoscopic findings showed that non-specific hemorrhagic polyp-like lesions. To determine the pathological findings including malignant diseases and diagnosis, transurethral resection was performed. Because the pathological findings were similar to those of chlamydial proctitis, additional examination was done. As the results, nucleic acid amplification test of C. trachomatis in urine specimen was positive and immunohistochemical staining of specific chlamydia antigen in resected specimen was also positive. Treatment by orally minocyline 100 mg twice daily for 4 weeks was introduced. After the treatment, symptom was disappeared and nucleic acid amplification test of C. trachomatis in urine specimen turned to be negative. No recurrence was reported 2 years posttreatment.

[A case of pulmonary nocardiosis with a polypoid lesion in a bronchus].
A 62-year-old woman was admitted with fever and bloody sputum. A mass shadow in the left S3 and obstruction of the left B3 were seen on a chest radiograph and CT. Obstructive pneumonia was suspected, and cefotiam and imipenem/cilastatin were administered. However, this treatment did not show adequate efficacy. Bronchoscopy demonstrated a yellowish-white polypoid lesion in the left B3, but histopathological findings with HE staining yielded no definite diagnosis. Subsequently, Nocardia asteroides was detected in sputum test. A sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim combination and minocycline were administered, and the clinical findings improved. Gram-positive microfilaments were confirmed retrospectively in the pathologic specimen, and a diagnosis of pulmonary nocardiosis was made.
