Renal cell carcinoma constitutes approximately 2% of all new malignancies and accounts for majority of all primary renal malignant tumors. Because of its bizarre clinical and biologic behaviors, renal cell carcinoma is one of the most interesting malignant tumors. Many paraneoplastic syndromes associated with renal cell carcinoma are known to return to normal following removal of primary lesion. We report a case of renal cell carcinoma with hyperglycemia corrected after radical nephrectomy.

Leiomyoma of the urethra is a rate entity. We experienced a case of leiomyoma in the female urethra recently. A 45 year old multiparous woman was admitted to the Department of Urology, National Police Hospital with the chief complaints of painless mass on the anterior lip of the external urethral meatus and contact bleeding. The mass was enucleated surgically and confirmed to be a leiomyoma pathologically.
