The congenital ball-and-socket ankle joint is a rare condition and is associated with congenital shortening of the lower extrimity and various skeletal abnormalities of the foot. This disease entity was reported in the German literature by Politzer in 1931 and in the English literature by Lamb in 1958. Several series have been reported since, suggesting that the condition may not be as rare as generally thought. This case is, to our knowledge, the first reported in this country.

Total cystectomy was performed to the 40 patients with urinary bladder tumor who were found perivesical fat infiltration by computerized tomography. 25 patients were previously untreated, and 15 patients had undergone transurethral resection or biopsy of the tumor before computerized tomography. The histopathological stage was compared to the preoperative computerized tomography stage. In pathologic specimen, perivesical fat infiltration was found in 62.5% of the cases, whereas perivesical fat infiltration was not found in 37.5% of the cases. In untouched tumors or after transurethral resection computerized tomography accuracy demonstrated no significant difference.

A clinical observation was made on the 236 patients who had undergone transurethral resection of bladder tumor(TUR) between Jan. 1990. and Feb. 1996. in the Department of Urology, Korea Cancer Center focusing on complications. The mean operating time was 59.0 minutes(n=400). The most common immediate complication was bleeding(1.8%), and the remainder was nonurologic fever(0.8%). The delayed complication was urethral stricture(1.0%) requiting visual urethrotomy. The immediate postoperative morbidity was 2.5% and risk factors for immediate morbidity after TUR were operating time longer than 60 minutes and tumor, invading the muscle or more deeply(p<0.05, by Chi-square test). The delayed morbidity was 1. 0% and the only risk factor for delayed morbidity after TUR was the number of ~IJR more than 2(p<0.05, by Chi-square test). Careful attention to surgical details and indications is needed to reduce the amount and significance of the postoperative morbidity.

We measured serum CA19-9 from March 1990 to June 1992 in 63 cases of normal controls, 56 cases or bladder cancer, 32 cases of renal cell carcinoma, 8 cases of prostatic carcinoma, 4 cases of penile cancer. 2 cases of testicular cancer and 3 cases of carcinoma of gastrointestinal tract with metastasis to the retroperitoneum. The results of this study were that serum levels of CA19-9 in urinary bladder cancer, renal cell carcinoma and prostatic carcinoma were statistically significant. However, sensitivity was low, 14. 29% for urinary bladder cancer, 18.75% for renal cell carcinoma. 12.5 % for prostatic carcinoma and specificity was 95.2%. In renal cell carcinoma, there was no change in serum level between stages. However there was a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) between low stage(A, B) and high stage(C, D) urinary cancers. We suggest that serum CA19-9 levels cannot be used as a screening test or prognosis indicator in tumors of the genitourinary tract ; however it can be helpful in differentiating between low and high stage urinary bladder cancers.
