The urological treatment and analysis of 23 patients with urological disorders after gynecological operation during the past three years were studied. Primary trauma of ureter, bladder and other urological organs that was caused by gynecological operation occurred in 6 cases (26%) consisting of 3 malignant tumor cases, and 3 benign tumor cases. Injured organs were 4 cases of ureter and 2 cases of bladder. Reconstruction of ureter and ureterovesical implantation were performed to all those patients except one who suffered from schizophrenia, and these operations brought favorable results. Secondary trauma that caused urological disorder after gynecological operation was found in 17 cases (74%), all of which were induced by radical operation against malignant tumors. The symptoms were uremia, abdominal pain, vesicovaginal fistula, severe bladder bleeding with poor general condition. In most cases, uretero-cutaneostomy was performed as emergency measures, and recontruction of ureter was possible in 3 cases. It is presumed that urological operation for secondary damage is favorable, since only one patient died of uremia.

Two case reports of hepatic angiomyolipoma, both originating in the caudate lobe, are reported with a review of the literature. The liver is the second most common site of angiomyolipoma, an uncommon benign tumor of mixed mesenchymal origin. It is commonly diagnosed following abdominal pain or as an asymptomatic mass discovered on abdominal ultrasound or computed tomography scan. Of 74 cases reported, the lesions ranged from 0.3 to 36 cm in diameter and are noted between the first and eighth decade, with predominant female predilection. The right lobe is the most common site, with lesions arising in the caudate lobe comprising only five cases. The natural history of the hepatic lesion is unknown. Malignant invasion or metastatic disease has not been documented. Hepatic and renal angiomyolipoma can occur concurrently (13 of 60 cases), although the majority are not biopsy proven. Multicentric hepatic disease occurs. The correlation between tuberous sclerosis and hepatic angiomyolipoma is not confirmed histologically and occurs rarely. These lesions have a characteristic radiographic appearance due to high fat content. Histologically, angiomyolipoma are characterized by an admixture of adipose tissue, blood vessels, and smooth muscle cells. These lesions cannot reliably be differentiated from a malignant lesion based on clinical history, radiologic examination, and/or pathologic interpretation. If clinical suspicion for malignancy is low, then careful observation with serial radiologic follow-up is performed. The treatment for a symptomatic or suspicious lesion is resection, if feasible. Liver transplantation may be considered for large or centrally located lesions not amenable to resection.

Brunner's gland adenoma is a benign tumor of the duodenum. We report a 58-year-old man who presented with abdominal pain, vomiting and weight loss. The patient underwent Whipple resection along with lymph node clearance. The resected tumor, 4 cm long, showed hypertrophied Brunner's glands.

Myelolipoma is a relatively rare benign tumor composed of fatty tissue and bone marrow elements. It is frequently associated with the adrenal glands but may exist as a solitary mass elsewhere. Adrenal myelolipomas are typically nonfunctioning and asymptomatic. They may be associated with an endocrine disorder such as Cushing's disease, Addison's disease, or hyperaldosteronism; however they are most often discovered incidentally. Their size is usually less than 5 cm and they are managed nonoperatively. We report a case of bilateral giant adrenal myelolipoma producing abdominal pain in a 54-year-old man, who presented to his primary care physician with complaints of right shoulder pain with vague abdominal discomfort. Imaging studies identified bilateral suprarenal masses measuring 12 x 14 cm on the right and 8 x 10 cm on the left. These masses were consistent with fatty tissue radiographically. In addition a focal 5 x 4-cm mass was identified in the transverse colon. Because the patient was symptomatic and a diagnosis of liposarcoma could not be excluded he was taken to the operating room for exploratory laparotomy with excision of the masses and a transverse colectomy. Final histologic analysis identified bilateral adrenal myelolipomas and a solitary lipoma of the transverse colon. His postoperative course was uneventful with relief of the pain. Despite its benign nature and rare growth beyond 5 cm myelolipoma of the adrenal gland is best managed with excision in the symptomatic patient. Preservation of adrenal tissue is vital so as not to commit patients to a lifetime of steroid replacement.

Renal angiomyolipoma (AML) is a benign tumor, they are generally asymptomatic or can manifested by abdominal pain, palpable mass or hematuria. We report an uncommoun case of 65 years old women who consulted for retroperitoneal hemorrhage by spontaneous rupture of renal AML with palpable mass. The ultrasound and CT abdominopelvic scan were performed in the preoperative diagnosis and showed a typical right renal AML with retroperitoneal hematoma. The right nephrectomy by transperitoneal approach was performed with a good follow-up. The histological examination confirmed the diagnosis for renal AML. About this case, the authors discuses the diagnosis and the management for AML with retroperitoneal hemorrhage.

Myxoma/fibromyxoma of extragnathic bone is a rare, benign tumor. We report the case of a 19-year-old man with a myxoma/fibromyxoma of the pelvic bone, who presented with abdominal pain in the right lower quadrant. Radiographs demonstrated a tumor with central scattered calcifications and ossification in the left ilium. CT scans disclosed a solitary ellipsoid tumor with sclerotic borders and no evidence of cortical disruption. MRI showed homogeneous signal enhancement of the bone marrow with slight thinning of the medial iliac cortex. Final diagnosis by radiological characteristics was not conclusive and histopathological examination suggested the diagnosis of a myxoma/fibromyxoma.

Metanephric adenoma of the kidney is rare. We report 2 cases of metanephric adenoma with massive hemorrhage and necrosis. Case 1, a 42-year-old Japanese woman, complained of abdominal pain. Case 2, a 41-year-old Japanese woman, complained of fever and lumbago. They underwent nephrectomy. The cut surface was solid and yellow with massive hemorrhage and necrosis. These tumors showed packed tubular and glomeruloid patterns. The tumor cells were uniform and small, with uniform, oval, and hyperchromatic nuclei and scant cytoplasm, and showed reactivity for cytokeratin, vimentin, and CD 57. The MIB-1 indexes were up to 0.63%. The DNA ploidy pattern was diploid. The tumor cells formed small tubular structures with lumina and microvilli. These features suggested that metanephric adenoma is a benign tumor of an immature epithelial nature.

Mesenteric lipoma is a rare benign tumor of mature fat cells. Although generally asymptomatic, it occasionally causes abdominal pain, ileus, and small bowel volvulus, depending on its location and size. A definitive diagnosis can be made by pathological examination. Ultrasonography and abdominal computed tomography show this lesion as a well-defined, homogeneous mass with fat density surrounded by a thin capsule. Because of its rare etiologic origin, we report the case of a 7-year-old girl with a mass in the abdomen and ileus, found to be caused by a mesenteric lipoma.

Renal Angiomyolipoma (AML) is a rare benign tumor As it is usually asymptomatic and small, AML sometimes may cause acute abdomen by spontaneous rupture and hemorrhage that may be life threatening in some cases for which surgical management is necessary. A 58-year-old female patient was admitted for right side and right upper abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Right upper abdominal and right side sensitivity were remarkable on physical examination. Whole blood count revealed the ongoing with steady remarkable decrement in hematocrite and hemoglobin. Radiological examination showed right kidney mass with retroperitoneal hematoma. Patient underwent a right nephrectomy with mass excision. Her postoperative period was uneventful. On this case report we conclude that; angiomyolipoma may cause serious complications by the spontaneous rupture and life threatening hemorrhage. In case of massive hemorrhage and/or whole renal involvement, nephrectomy is the most feasible surgical treatment of all the other treatment methods.

Splenic hamartoma is a rare benign tumor of the spleen. It is usually found incidentally at autopsy or splenectomy. We report a case of splenic hamartoma that was discovered during medical workup for vague upper abdominal pain. Abdominal sonography demonstrated a well-demarcated, slightly hypoechoic splenic solid mass; the mass was markedly enhanced on color Doppler sonography after injection of microbubble contrast agent. This finding may help to distinguish splenic hamartomas from other relatively common splenic tumors, such as hemangiomas or metastases.
