Two cases of adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder with clinical and pathological features, and brief review of the literatureare presented. Case 1: The patient, a 52 year-old man, was admitted to this hospital because of intermittent painless total gross hematuria for 15 years. Cystoscopy was done, and showing a cauliflower mass with broad based diffuse infiltrating lesion at the right anten or portion of bladder. TUR-B was performed. Microscopically, the lesion consisted of colonic metaplastic epithelium with atypical glands and cystic dilatation and adenocarcinoma. Case 2: The patient, a 52-year-old woman, was admitted to this hospital because of total painless gorss hematuria for 1 year. Cystoscopy was done showing a sessile diffuse mass with ulceration on the dome area. Total cystectomy was performed. Grossly, the tumor showed an ulcerative tumor mass with elevated nodular margin at the dome of the bladder. Microscopically, the lesion consisted of anaplastic glands with back to back arrangement and branching glands through the entire thickness of the bladder wall.

Two cases of epidermal nevi treated with systemic etretinate are presented. Case 1, a 21-year-old female, had been suffered from brownish verrucous papules and plaques on the left inguinal area, thigh, lower leg and dorsum of the foot since her first month of life; and case 2, a 4-year-old boy, had been suffered from brownish verrucous papular plaques on the left chest, axilla and back since birth. In both cases, there was no family history of similar disease. On histopathological examination, case 1 showed the findings of epidermolytic. hyperkeratosis but case 2 did not, with the exception of clumping of keratohyaline granules. In the treatment with systemic etretinate, we observed marked clinical improvement in case 1, but not in case 2. Any particular side effects of etretinate were not observed during treatment. We consider that etretinate therapy is useful in treating epidermal nevus with epidermolytic hyperkeratosis histopathologically.

A 73-year-old female patient, who had been treated with antituberculous drugs for 4 months, was referred to our department because of generalized macules and papules present for 15 days. Clinical examination revealed polygonal, flat papules of erythematous to violaceous hue on the entire skin. Histopathologic findings were similar to those of lichen planus. In a provocation test with ethambutol, the skin lesions were aggravated and the new lesions developed. We considered this case to be a lichenoid drug eruption due to ethambutol. The skin lesions gradually cleared after ethambutol was eliminated from the patient's tuberculosis therapy.
