Liposarcoma of the spermatic cord is very rare and preoperative diagnosis is difficult. Well differentiated liposarcoma is in general less aggressive than other type of liposarcoma and seldom metastasizes. Radical orchiectomy with wide local excision appear to be adequate treatment modality and offer better prognosis. We report a case of well differentiated liposarcoma in 51-year-old male with brief review of the literatures.

Renal cell carcinoma is an uncommon tumor in children and only 3-5 percent of the renal cell carcinoma occur under age of twenty. Interestingly, some of the patients had a history of trauma occurring shortly before the onset of symptom calling attention to the tumor. In histology of renal cell carcinoma, clear cell type is most common and papillary type is 10-15 percent. The papillary type of renal cell carcinoma is characterized by better prognosis than non-papillary types. We report a case of papillary type of renal cell carcinoma which was detected incidentally after trauma in 13-year-old male patient.

A clinical observation was made on patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia who had been admitted to the department of urology, Kyungpook National University Hospital during 10 years period from January, 1973 to December, 1982.The results were as follows:1. Out of 2252 total hospital admission, 184 were due to benign prostatic hyperplasia, giving rate of 8.1% to total and 31.8% male patients 50 years old or above, The most commonly involved age group was the 8th decade(47.8%) and mean age of total was 71.8 years old.2. The most frequent presenting symptom was acute urinary retention(37.5%), followed by dysuria(43.3%) and frequency(13.0%).3. The most common amount of residual urine was 200 to 300 ml group in 59 cases(32.1%), and 1000 ml or more was checked in 11(6.0%) and mean amount of total residual urine was 380 ml.4. In urinalysis, pyuria was checked in 71 cases(38.6%) and hematuria in 95(51.6%). In blood chemistry, BUN was elevated above normal levels in 21 cases and creatinine in 9. In urine culture, 30patients revealed positive bacterial culture.5. In IVP findings performed in 114 cases, the common finding was the indentation of bladder margin(81.6%), followed in frequency by elevated bladder base(58.3%). In endoscopic findings performed in 111 cases, the most common finding was trabeculation(93.7%), followed in order offrequency by inflammation(82.9%) and kissing signs of lateral lobes(68.5%).6. The another disease was associated with BHP in 101 cases (non-urologic disease in 61 and another disease in 40). The most common associated disease out of 101 cases with associated diseases was pulmonary tuberculosis in 22 and by next order hypertension in 10.7. Treatment modality was conservative indwelling catheterization in 115 cases(62.5%) and operation in 69(37.5%). In operative management, the most common approach was retropubic prostatectomy in 34 cases followed by suprapubic prostatectomy in 23 and TUR in 6.

PURPOSE: This study was designed to investigate that men with prostatodynia have petechiae in the bladder and improvement of symptoms after hydrodistension. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 14 men with the diagnosis of prostatodynia underwent cystoscopy and hydrodistension under a general or regional anesthetic. Their charts were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS: Of the 14 men 5(36%) had moderate to severe petechiae similar in appearance to women with interstitial cystitis after hydrodistension. Men with moderate to severe bladder petechiae had fewer leukocytes in expressed prostatic secretions and smaller bladder capacities than men with more normal appearing bladders after hydrodistension. Symptomatic improvement 2 to 6 weeks after hydrodistension was more common in men with moderate to severe petechiae than in those with fewer petechiae. CONCLUSIONS: We suggest that bladder petechiae after hydrodistension may be a diagnostic finding in men with prostatodynia as well as women with interstitial cystitis. Therefore, the diagnosis of interstitial cystitis should be considered in patients with prostatodynia.

Palliative endourologic treatment was done in 94 cases for ureteral obstruction secondary to advanced malignancy The average survival was 4.2 months. The obstruction were caused by metastases or invasion of cancer in all patients. First we tried to insert a double J stent(STENT), when it failed percutaneous nephrostomy(PCN) was performed. Initially 16 patients were treated by STENT and 8 patients by PCN. The SIENT was changed 2.2 times on the average in all patients. 75% of the patients who had been treated by STENT experienced only one or two times of STENT changes before dying. Patency period of the STENT was 57.6 days on the average. The patency period was shorter in the patients who showed gross hematuria at the time of STENT insertion. Although survival was not so long, 60.6% patients were able to return to their homes. The endourologic management of the upper urinary tract obstruction will play a more important role and offer a better quality of life for end stage cancer patients.
