There is no single characteristic clinical or radiological feature to diagnose xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis, so it makes accurate preoperative diagnosis difficult. In our case, the renal parenchyme of affected kidney was well preserved on excretory urogram. The abnormal finding was only a filling defect within the right upper pelvocalyceal system. Herein we report a case of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis in a 18 years old girl which was confused with renal pelvic tumor.

Most renal cell carcinomas are solid but contain small cystic areas. Sometimes the cystic component predominates and such lesions are called cystic renal cell carcinomas. The radiographic and pathologic findings of cystic renal cell carcinoma are often more confusing and less specific than the findings of solid renal cell carcinoma. Multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma is one form of cystic renal cell carcinoma variants and results from intrinsic multiloculated growth. A presumptive diagnosis of multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma was made preoperatively in a 38-year-old woman and it was treated with radical nephrectomy, so we report this case with brief review of the literatures.

Since continent urinary diversion and bladder substitution after cystoprostatectomy have been offered as alternative to standard urinary diversion, increasing numbers of patients seek to avoid a wet stoma. So since 1988 we have used a pouch constructed from a combination of large and small bowel(Mainz pouch), which offers a low pressure reservoir of adequate capacity, antirefluxing ureteral reimplantation and continent reservoir. Initial applications of the Mainz pouch were for bladder augmentation after subtotal cystectomy and for continent urinary diversion. Current indications have been extended to complete bladder substitution after radical cystectomy with anastomosis of the pouch to the membranous urethra. A total or 15 patients underwent a Mainz pouch procedure ;6 for bladder augmentation, 8 for continent urinary diversion and 1 for total bladder substitution after radical cystectomy. All bladder augmentation cases, 4 of 8 diversion cases and substitution case are completely dry day and night. There are no significant perioperative morbidity and mortality.

We evaluated the urologic complications of extravesical ureteroneocystostomy in 60 renal transplantation performed in the Department of Urology, Kosin Medical College during the period from December 1984 to August 1987. The results were as follows 1. Of 60 cases of recipient 39 cases were male and 21 cases were female. In donor and recipient`s relationship, 53 cases related and 7 cases were unrelated. 2. Our incidence of postoperative urologic complications of extravesical ureteroneocystostomy in 60 renal transplantation was 5 cases(8.3%). 3. The details of complications were as follow : 4 cases(6.7%) were ureteral obstruction due to perirenal hematoma and 1 case(1.6%) was ureteral fistula. 4. Treatment of complications were immediate perirenal hematoma removal in ureteral obstruction(4) and silastic drain in ureteral fistula(1). 5. Results and prognosis in complicated cases were good.

Percutaneous nephrostomy was done on 101 cases with advanced malignancy and benign conditions in the Department of Urology, Kosin Medical College during the period of March, 1985 to August 1988. We were successful in using percutaneous nephrostomy as urinary diversion to ureteral obstruction or urinary leakage in 96 cases(95.1%). In four fives of patients obstruction was due to neoplasm, with the cervical cancer the leading cause. The post-nephrostomy complications were renocolon fistula in 1 case, perinephric abecess in 2 cases, severe bleeding in 3 cases. percutaneous nephrotomy proved to be ideally suited in azotemic patients and urine leakage. Its use can obviate surgical nephrostomy and prolonged ureteral catheter drainage. We also are encouraged by our early experience with extensions of percutaneous nephrostomy, including percutaneous ureteral, renal stone dissolution.
