The incidence of giant condyloma acuminata of the penis is extremely rare. Although they are considered clinically malignant, the real possibility of malignant changes from them are controversial even among the investigators but cannot be entirely overlooked. Therefore, attention must be focused on this fact, in our conclusion. Two cases of malignancy of the penis which have apparently been transformed from giant condyloma acuminata of the penis are herein presented with review of related literatures. Case I: Sixty nine year old male patient complained of a fungating mass on the sulcus coronaris of the penis with ulceration and bleeding from the mass. Biopsy confirmed giant condyloma acuminata and subsequently circumcision and electrocoagulation were performed. Pathological specimen taken after 4 months because of the recurrence of the mass on the same region showed squamous cell carcinoma of the penis and amputation of penis was performed. Case II: Sixty eight old male patient complained of a growing mass and pain on glans penis. This patient also underwent circumcision and electrocoagulation according to the biopsy finding of giant condyloma acuminata. But 1 year later with recurrence of the mass on the same region, the pathological finding revealed squamous cell carcinoma of penis.

We report a case of pseudosarcomatous variant of transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis which showed grossly and microscopically the distinct biphasic growth patterns. Grossly, most part of the tumor showed solid growth protruding into the renal pelvic cavity as well as infiltrating into the parenchyma of lower pole. The overlying pelvic mucosa was replaced by a diffuse, papillary transitional cell carcinoma, and the solid mass was composed of pleomorphic spindle cell sarcomatoid component with frequent myxoid change and a few foci of osteoid deposit. Ultrastructural study of the spindle cells revealed epithelial differentiation featured with rich cytoplasmic organelles, basal lamina and basement membrane-like structures, although immunohistochemistry failed to detect epithelial differentiation.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this research was to provide baseline data by utilizing solutions to health problems caused by work-related stress and to examine a way of treatment by comparing and analyzing how the stresses link to fatigue and quality of researchers' life. METHODS: A survey was conducted with 50 researchers working for in H research institute in Daejeon Metropolitan City from April 10th to May 10th, 2012 to examine the correlation of work stress, fatigue and quality of life. The data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test to look into examine the difference in work stress, fatigue, and quality of life. Also, the correlation of work stress, fatigue and quality of life was measured through by the Pearson correlation coefficient. The data collected through the questionnaires was were analyzed by SPSS 21.0 based on the significant level with a p-value, 0.05. RESULTS: The results showed that fatigue was caused by work stresses in researchers and quality of life was ranked in a relatively low level. Correlation of work stresses, quality of life and fatigue and work stresses against mental health index was negative and fatigue against physical index was also negative. CONCLUSION: It is necessary to maintain more detailed provisions in order to improve mental health and stress level of researchers. Moreover, systematic, in-depth evaluation should be done to reduce researcher's work-related stress and fatigue. In addition, stress management and prevention program should be implemented for these researchers.
