This report deals with a case of malakoplakia of urinary bladder in a 68 year old female. The lesion of malakoplakia has been misdiagnosed as a neoplasm on several occasions in other institutes. This disease has been reported seldomly, and many urologists and pathologists alike have been unfamiliar to the lesion. An emphasis on the clinicopathologic features is made in order to prevent the serious misdiagnosis. The pertinent literatures are reviewed.

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.

Unilateral renal agenesis is uncommon congenital condition with important implication when operation is performed. We report on two cases of unilateral renal agenesis but blind loop of ureter in a 2 year male child with vesical diverticulum and a 8 year old girl with contralateral hydronephrosis. An excretory urogram of the former revealed nonvisualization of left kidney and normal right kidney, it of the latter showed marked hydronephrosis of right kidney and nonvisualization of left kidney. These cases were finally confirmed by exploratory surgery with transvesical retrograde pyelography and histopathological findings of resected surgical specimen.

A series of 57 infants and children presenting with palpable abdominal masses which performed surgery from Jan. 1. 1972 to Dec. 31. 1978 has been reviewed. Masses such as distended bladder, abdominal distension, intussusception, intestinal obstruction, abscess, hematoma, as well as hepatospleaomegaly which not performed a surgical operation, were not included. There were 29 children with non-urological conditions, and 28 with urological lesions. The study was limited to the latter group. The groupings by age at presentation and type of urologic lesion enable us to make certain genera statements. About one-half of surgical abdominal masses were of urologic origin, and about one-third were renal origin. Since legions of renal origin are the predominant cause of abdominal masses in infants and children, an I. V. P. and other urological examination should be obtained as soon as possible on all children patients with abdominal masses.

Experience with retropubic prostatectomy in 12 cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia is presented. The operation was technically successful in all cases, even though there were no special instruments available. Operative blood transfusions were given to 2 patients (16.7 per cent). The weight of adenomatous tissue enucleated ranged from 30 to 100 gm., with an average of 46.2 gm. Hospitalization ranged from 9 to 16 days, with a meat of 11 days, The average operating time in this series, including vasectomy, was 79.2 minutes with a range of 55 to 110 minutes. Postoperative complications consisted of one patient with wound infection and patient with severe bleeding due to inadvertent dislodgement of the catheter. The authors believe that there would be broader indication of this approach on Korean patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

A clinical observation was made on 38 patients with the suspicion of prostatic cancer in the department of urology, St. Mary's Hospital during the period from January, 1969 to December, 1978. The results are as follows. 1. The most prevalent age was from 60 to 69 (44.7%) 2. Among 38 cases of the transrectal needle biopsy, the adequate tissues for the histologic diagnosis were obtained in 34 cases. 3. Of 34 cases whose tissue were obtained adequately by the needle biopsy, 22 cases were diagnosed the malignancy of prostate. 4. Among 38 cases of the transrectal needle biopsy, the fever were developed in 4 cases and the rectal bleeding in one case.

In 12 cases of bladder tumor, 30cc of 2% methylene blue was introduced into the bladder, one hour previous to the transurethral biopsy, T.U.R. or segmental resection of the bladder, for the purpose of the staining of tumor tissue, and the following results were obtained. 1. This method was especially useful for the difference of tumor tissue in the cases of cystitis with tumor. 2. Most of the tumor tissue which was not covered with bladder mucosa stained in the deep blue so that one can easily identify tumor tissues from normal mucosa. 3. On operation, tumor masses could be resected easily because of obvious demarkation between the tumor mass and normal mucosa of the bladder. 4. In conclusion, this method was helpful to identify tumor tissues and useful for the removal of tumor remnants.
