We report on 3 patients who presented with an acute onset of abdominal pain, a palpable abdominal mass and a rapid decrease in hemoglobin. In 2 patients a spontaneously ruptured hypernephroma was found and the other patient had a squamous cell carcinoma of the ureter with bleeding into the tumor. Although in all 3 cases the tumors were at an advanced stage of development, the patients had been entirely free of urological symptoms until shortly before hospitalization. The importance of considering the possibility of spontaneous rupture of such a tumor in the evaluation of cases of an acute abdomen is stressed.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis is a relatively rare disease. Recently, we observed a case of squamous cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis with vesicoureteral reflux in a 49-year-old female patient. Her main symptom was abdominal pain on the left side. The complete duplications of uretero-pelvis on both sides, and vesicoureteral reflux in the upper left part of the kidney were recognized by means of various examinations. During the operation, a tumor was found in the upper left renal pelvis, and in the ureter belonging to the upper left renal pelvis. Pathologically, it was diagnosed as a squamous cell carcinoma. After the extraction of the left uretero-pelvis, 50 Gy of radiotherapy was administered to the patient. However, she died four months after the operation.

The case of a 60-year-old woman with a five-year history of abdominal pain, jaundice, and weight loss is presented. On physical examination a hard mass on her right flank was evident. She died under unknown circumstances while she was waiting to be examined. At post-mortem examination the gallbladder was replaced by a neoplasm and there were gallstones within its lumen. Histologically, the tumour was constituted by a mixture of adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and undifferentiated sarcoma. The diagnosis of carcinosarcoma of the gallbladder was established. A review of previously reported cases is presented too.

A 46-year-old woman with a past history of esophageal carcinoma was hospitalized with the chief complaint of right abdominal pain. Enhanced computed tomography (CT) and selective renal angiography suggested a metastatic renal tumor. Right nephrectomy was performed. Histological examination revealed a renal tumor originated from esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Metastatic renal tumors are frequently observed at autopsy, but clinically they are extremely uncommon. Thirty-four clinical cases of metastatic renal tumors reported in the Japanese literature during these 20 years are discussed including the present case.

One case of squamous cell carcinoma of the ascending colon is reported. The patient, a sixty two year old woman, was admitted because of right abdominal pain for three months. A mass, 6 X 5 cm in size, was palpated. 13 cm colonic mucosa destruction was shown by barium enema. Right hemicolectomy was done. A squamous cell carcinoma of the ascending colon was diagnosed by light and electron microscope. Squamous cell carcinoma of the colon is rare. Squamous cell carcinoma and adenoacanthoma, occurring in the colon and upper rectum, comprise 0.5% of all colonic malignancies. 18 cases have been collected in the literature and this case is the first one reported in China. Etiology of squamous cell carcinoma of the large bowel is reviewed.

A 56-year-old white male with abdominal pain, vomiting, and jaundice was found on exploration to have squamous cell carcinoma of the hepatic ducts with metastasis to the liver. He was treated with palliative procedure consisting of dilation of tumor and placement of T-tube past the lesion. After recovering from surgery, patient was begun on radiation therapy to the liver and hilum, but his postoperative course was of progressive liver failure. This first necessitated cessation of radiation therapy and finally ended with the death of the patient three months after diagnosis.

A 69-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital complaining of general fatigue and lower abdominal pain. She had undergone total cystectomy because of invasive recurrent bladder carcinoma three months ago. Histopathological diagnosis was transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) grade 3 and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), pT3a. A goose egg-sized painful mass was noticed at the lower abdominal region. A CT scan revealed an intrapelvic fist-sized mass and suggested tumor recurrence with ileus caused by intestinal invasion. The laboratory examination showed remarkable leukocytosis of 79,700/mm3 in the peripheral blood and serum analysis revealed high value of granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), 240 pg/ml (normal: less than 30 pg/ml). In spite of active treatment, the patient died of cachexia about a month after detection of the leukocytosis. The autopsy showed that the recurrent tumor had positive immunohistochemical staining for G-CSF, and the bone marrow had reactive proliferation mainly by granulocytes. From these findings, this case was diagnosed as bladder carcinoma producting G-CSF. G-CSF producting tumor of the bladder is very rare. This was the 8th case in Japanese literatures. The previous reports were reviewed and discussed.

A case of squamous cell carcinoma of ureter is presented. A 64-year-old male suffering from right lower abdominal pain and gross hematuria visited our hospital. Right hydronephrosis was found by ultrasound examination. Intravenous pyelography revealed a right non-functioning kidney. Abdominal computed tomographic scanning showed right hydroureteronephrosis and a soft-tissue density mass in the right lower ureter. Retrograde pyelography demonstrated a filling defect in the right lower ureter. Squamous cell carcinoma was suspected by cytological examination. On the basis of the above findings, right nephroureterectomy with partial cystectomy was performed. Pathohistological diagnosis was squamous cell carcinoma of the ureter, G3, INF gamma, pT3, pR0, pL1, pV1, pN1. No evidence of either tumor recurrence or metastasis was found for 6 months after the operation. Sixty-one cases of primary ureteral squamous cell carcinoma, including our case, were collected from the Japanese literature and characteristic clinical features of the tumor are discussed.

A 68-year-old woman presented a one-month history of lower abdominal pain and weight loss, and was admitted to our hospital. On physical examination, a large hard mass was palpated in her right lower abdomen. An ultrasonograph and computed tomographic (CT) scan revealed a right ovarian tumor that measured 6.9 x 4.9 cm in size. A total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy were performed. The postoperative diagnosis of the tumor was squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the ovary. She died of infection and disseminated intravascular coagulation 5 months after surgery. The clinical and autopsy examinations did not show the primary lesions of SCC except in the right ovary. Mature cystic teratoma, Brenner tumor and endometriosis, which are ordinary regarded as the histogenesis of ovarian SCC, were not found, but a few surface epithelial inclusion cysts with squamous metaplasia were observed in non-cancerous area of the right ovary, and the contiguous transition from the metaplastic cyst wall to SCC was confirmed by stepwise serial sections. The present case suggests that the surface epithelium of ovary could be the fourth possibility in the histogenesis of the ovarian SCC.

A 79-year-old woman with a rare form of pancreatic carcinoma with massive invasion of the retroperitoneum presented with upper abdominal pain and vomiting. Although examination (computed tomography, barium enema, upper gastrointestinal series) suggested peritonitis carcinomatosa due to pancreatic cancer, a primary lesion of the pancreas was not confirmed by endoscopic retrograde pancreatography. Autopsy ultimately revealed a small tumor (5 x 8 mm) of the uncinate process of the pancreas near the duodenum with peritonitis carcinomatosa. Microscopically, the tumor and its metastasis consisted of poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma without adenocarcinomatous change, a rare form of pancreatic tumor.
