Progressive, Subacute Penile Swelling After Recent Trauma
Case: A 62 yr old man with past medical history of hypertension and well-controlled HIV presented with 1 week of severe worsening penile pain and swelling.

The Challenges of Urological Research in COVID-19 Era: Lessons Learned for Immediate Response to the Pandemic
After being declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) in March 2020, the “Coronavirus Disease 2019” (COVID-19) has had a significant impact on healthcare services in entire medical fields, including urology1,2. Despite development and widespread vaccine availability, COVID-19 and its emerging variants are still an evolving situation with more than 800,000 new cases per day in the United States at the time of this writing3. As part of the safety protocols, elective surgeries and in-person visits were restricted to decrease the chance of virus transmission and complication, and adapted guidelines released to minimize the risks for both patients and healthcare professionals delivering urological service 4.

Aggressive Multimodality Therapy for a Urachal Rhabdomyosarcoma
Urachal rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare entity with a remarkably poor prognosis. Here we report on a 2-year-old male who presented with abdominal pain, fatigue, and urinary frequency. Imaging and subsequent surgical pathology confirmed urachal primary embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. Our patient underwent upfront surgical resection with adjuvant chemoradiation per Children's Oncology Group (COG) protocol D9803. He is doing well 15 months after diagnosis.
