In a female patient who presented with the complaint of dysuria, angiography was required to distinguish a vascular impression on the renal pelvis from a possible tumor or calculus. Neither intravenous urography nor retrograde pyelogram clarified the smooth filling defect sufficiently to rule out the possibility of a urothelial tumor.

A neurinoma of the terminal ileum was discussed. It was as large as an infants head and had descended to the lesser pelvis where it became lodged. An intestinal loop became clamped by this mass causing ileus. The mass also compressed theurinary bladder producing dysuria. Even though the neurinoma is quite a rare phenomenon in clinical practice, it deserves attention because of the difficulty with which it can be diagnosed, and because of the complications it can cause; Among them ileus, and hemorrhaging are the most common. Acute peritonitis due to perforation of the infected pseudocysts in the center of the tumor is a significantly rarer phenomenon, and malignant alterations are the rarest complications. As only a few cases of neurinomas of the small intestine have been described in world literature, the authors hope to contribute to a better understanding of this problem.

The records of 141 consecutive patients who underwent simple or radical cystectomy between 1955 and 1971 were reviewed. Symptoms, interval before diagnosis, and stage and grade of lesion were analyzed and correlated with survival rates. Although stage was the most critical determinant of survival, grade, presence or absence of dysuria and delay in diagnosis were also important. Preoperative radiotherapy caused downstaging in 41.2 per cent of patients, with complete disappearance of tumor in some. Postoperative complications from cystectomy and from various forms of urinary diversion were correlated with the type of diversion, type of ureteral anastomosis, radiotherapy and stents. Improved operative techniques, method of fluid balance, and preoperative and postoperative care have led to a progressively decreased operative mortality in patients with carcinoma of the bladder.

Vesico-intestinal fistulae were observed in 14 patients within a period of 10 years (vesico-colonic: ten; vesico-rectal: two; vesico-ileal and vesico-rectal-ileal: one each). The causes were diverticulitis in five, carcinoma of the sigmoid in two, radiation damage after prostatic or cervical carcinoma in two, and Crohn's disease, abscess of Douglas's pouch after perforated appendicitis, ileal carcinoma, sarcoma of the pelvis, and ovarian carcinoma, one each. Pneumaturia, faecaluria and dysuria were the most frequent symptoms, treatment-resistant cystitis was present in three. Cystoscopy, intravenous pyelogram, retrograde cystogram, barium meal, barium swallow with follow-through, and rectosigmoidoscopy proved to be the best methods of diagnosis. Four patients had multiple operations, three one operation, with a cure in all. In the neoplastic fistulae the underlying carcinoma could not be radically operated on: colostomy or colostomy with palliative resection was performed. In four of these the fistulae then closed, once it remained open. One woman with a vesicorectal fistula due to ovarian carcinoma died of tumor cachexia 16 days after a colostomy had been made.

1. Among all tissue examinations, 8.6% were on male urogenital organs, of which 2.9% were for carcinoma of the prostate. Biopsies of the prostate comprised a large percentage of all male urogenital biopsies. Since the specimens examined by various pathological laboratories in Tehran were received from all over the country, comparison of these statistics is significant. 2. Male urogenital tumors comprised 6.7% of male biopsies, of which 2.7% were for tumors of the prostate. 3. Male urogenital cancers comprised 2.3% of biopsies examined, of which only four were prostatic carconomas. Carcinoma of the prostate was the rarest cancer of the male urogenital organs in Iran. 4. We found 933 cases of cancer of male urogenital organs in 31 years. This comprised 6% of all male cancers, of which only 0.33% were carcinoma of the prostate. 5. Bladder carcinomas were the commonest and prostate carcinomas the rarest among males. 6. We found that 97% of prostate tumors were benign and 3% were malignant. Prostatic carcinoma was four times more prevalent among high income patients than among low income patients. 7. Benign tumors were most common in the 40 to 70 age groups, whereas the peak incidence for carcinoma of this organ was 50 to 70 years of age. 8. No particular clinical symptoms were found. Most patients reported pollakiuria, dysuria or urinary retention. 9. The initial growth site of tumors in the few cases that we were able to study was in the cortex region, especially from the posterior lobe. 10. Histological types of tumor found did not differ from other figures reported. We found no sarcomas. 11. No systematic study of asymptomatic nodules of carcinoma of the prostate has been made and we have never found any signs of such solitary nodules. This may be due to the low average age and the rarity of malignancy of the prostate in Iran. 12. The frequency of death in Iran due to carcinoma of the prostate is impossible to state since death certificates, in the majority of cases, specify secondary symptoms of the disease and not the original disease. 13. The incidence of prostatic carcinoma in the provice of Fars was five times greater and in Isfahan four times greater than in the province of Tehran. However, the figures for Tehran were compiled over the last 31 years, whereas the figures for Isfahan and Shiraz are only for the last ten years, and comparison of these three sets of figures may not be accurate. 14. Carcinoma of the prostate is not as common in Iran as it is in Europe and America. It is rather rare in Iran and compares favorably with figures for the Near Eastern and Far Eastern countries. The Middle Eastern countries of Lebanon, Israel and Afghanistan are very similar in incidence to Iran. In other countries in our region, the incidence is 1.8%.

18 patients were admitted from 1969 to 1973 to the Surgical and Urological University Clinic in Mainz with ruptured infrarenal aortic aneurysms. Three patients died immediately following the operation and three during surgery from internal hemorrhage. Eight patients died later following prolonged shock. Four patients survived surgery. The classical symptoms of shock, abdominal pain and pulsating tumor was only present in three patients. The diagnosis was only made in seven patients at admission, from the clinical findings. Urological symptoms were also prominent such as unilateral flank pain, colic, dysuria, anuria and tenderness over the kidney. There is no typical clinical picture of ruptured aortic aneurysm. Acute urological symptomatology in cases of acute abdomen with unclear etiology and in connection with shock could indicate a ruptured aortic aneurysm. There is absolute indication for immediate operative intervention. The aneurysm is removed and replaced by a vascular prosthesis. Early diagnosis is important since prolonged shock and anuria will result in a poor postoperative prognosis. Abdominal exploration is therefore also indicated when a ruptured aortic aneurysm is only suspected.

A case of primary adenocarcinoma of the male urethra with high CA125 level is reported. A 66-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with dysuria and perineal discomfort. The urethrocystogram revealed an irregular urethral margin in the bulbo-membranous urethra. Computer-tomographic (CT) scan and transrectal ultrasonography revealed an irregular mass between the urethra and rectum. Cytologic examination of the urine was negative for malignancy. Endoscopy revealed an irregular bulbo-membranous urethra with a small papillary lesion. Transurethral biopsy was performed and histological diagnosis was adenocarcinoma. The patient rejected surgical treatment and radiotherapy was performed. However, the disease progressed and the patient died from liver metastasis six months later. We considered that CA125 was valuable as a tumor maker in this patient.

A 38-year-old man visited our hospital because of swelling of left scrotal content. He had no history of trauma of scrotum, fever, pain or dysuria. Physical examination revealed a tumor larger than a fist in the left scrotum. Ultrasonography revealed an echogenic mass with echolucent area in the scrotum. Surgical extirpation of the left scrotal tumor was performed under the diagnosis of left testicular tumor. The mass was encapsulated by a white fibrous membrane and was 700 g in weight. The tumor contained 200 ml of dark brown pus-like material. Histological examination revealed deposition of cholesterine crista and infiltration of lymphocyte in tunica vaginalis with extremely atrophic testis, destructive spermatogenesis and atrophic epididymis. Twenty one cases of chronic scrotal hematocele have been reported in the Japanese literature. The age of the patients reported was 38 to 77 years old with a mean age of 65 years. Orchiectomy was done under the diagnosis of testicular tumor in 20 of the 21 cases. Our case was thought to be of an idiopathic chronic scrotal hematocele. The disease should be considered even in the absence of a particular cause such as injury and inflammation of scrotal content.

The authors present a case of intramedullary neurinoma. A 44 years old patient was admitted for lumbar pain and bilateral sciatica. Neurological examination was normal except for dysuria and diminution of Achilles tendon reflexes. Lumbar spine X-rays and spinal cord angiogram were normal, but myelogram and myelo-scan revealed a fusiform enlargement of the conus medullaris. MRI confirmed this aspect. Total removal of an intramedullary tumor was done, using ultrasonography, operating microscope and ultrasonic aspiration. The post-operative course was uneventful, with, as sequelae a perineal hypoesthesia. Histological examination of the excised tumor revealed a neurinoma. The epidemiology, clinical features, radiology, and surgical treatment of such rare intramedullary tumors are discussed.
