Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is an uncommon entity of chronic renal infection and often misdiagnosed with renal tumor clinically. The characteristic examination are foamy histiocyte containing lipid material and foreign body giant cell forming granulomas, Macroscopically yellow nodules are present at the area of necrotic tissue. We have experienced a case of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis in 38 years old woman and reported with review of some literatures.

A Clinical study was made on 36 cases of varicocele during the period from January 1979 to June 1981. The results obtained were as follows: 1. During this period, the total number of in-patients was 449 among which 36 cases had varicocele, giving a rate of 8% of total in-patients. 2. The age distribution was between 18 and 45 year, showing the highest incidence in 21 to 23 year (44.4%). 3. Site of lesion showed 86.1% in left, 11.1% in both, 2.8% in right. 4. The clinical symptoms of varicocele showed inguinal dragging pain in 83.3%, testicular pain in 22.2% walking disturbance in 5.6% and symptomless in 5.6%. 5. In all the cases, semen analysis was performed pre-operatively, among which 36.1% showed poor semen quality. 6. Effort was made to detect the relationship with duration of symptom and semen quality. Of the 7 cases who had symptom over 2 years, 5 cases (71.4%) showed poor semen quality. Of the 20 cases who had symptom less than 1 year, 4 cases (20%) showed poor semen quality. 7. In all the cases, operation was undertaken by Palomo`s method. Recurrence of the varicocele occurred in 2 cases (5.6%). 8. Bilateral testicular biopsies were undertaken in 4 cases, revealed similar findings in both testicles.

The cystoscopic manipulation was applied in 38 cases of lower one third ureteral stone who visited the Department of Urology National Police Hospital during the period from January 1979 to August 1981. 1. The age distribution was between 17 and 57 years, showing the highest incidence in 21 to 30 years (36.8%). 2. In 38 cases of stones in the lower one third of ureter in which the woven loop stone dislodger was used, the stone was removed successfully in 29 cases, a success rate of 76.3%. 3. Among 29 cases, 20 ureteral stones were extracted immediately and 9 ureteral stones were delivered spontaneously after cystoscopic manipulation. 4. In 7 cases (18.4%) ureterolithotomy was necessary. 5. The commonest size of stone extracted by woven loop stone dislodger was from 5 mm to 7 mm in size. 6. No specific complication were found during or after cystoscopic manipulations.

Chordoma arising from the notochordal remnants is a rare primary bone tumor in the cervicosacral region and is even more unusual in the thoracic region. The authors experienced a case of thoracic chordoma and report its CT and MR findings.

Neurofibrosarcoma is the most common malignant change in patients with neurofibromatosis. But the incidence of neurofibrosarcoma arising from cutaneous neurofibroma is very low. We report two cases of neurofibrosarcoma arising from cutaneous neurofibroma in patients with neurofibromatosis showing typical clinical manifestations.
