Twenty-one cases of inverted papilloma of the renal pelvis have been described in the literature. A 71-year-old man was admitted to our hospital to examine a right renal mass. We diagnosed a right renal tumor on the basis of the findings from excretory urogram (IVP), computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Surgical material revealed an inverted papilloma in the renal pelvis. We report on the first case of an invested papilloma of the renal pelvis associated with renal cell carcinoma.

A 71-year-old man was admitted because of right cervical lymph node swelling in February 1986. Lymph node biopsy revealed that he suffered from diffuse, large cell malignant lymphoma. Immunological staining showed lymphoma characterized by B cell markers, IgG, kappa type. Bone marrow aspiration, revealed no evidence of lymphoma and 0.2% plasma cells. The clinical stage was IIA. The patient was treated with the CHOP regimen (doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine and prednisolone), which achieved complete remission. In October 1988, he was re-admitted because of a subcutaneous abscess, and biopsy of the inguinal lymph node showed reactive lymphadenitis. Although he improved with antibiotic therapy, laboratory date on admission showed monoclonal gammopathy. Serum immunoelectrophoresis demonstrated a monoclonal bow of IgA kappa type, and bone marrow aspiration revealed hypercellularity with an increased number of plasma cells (76.8%). The patient was diagnosed as having multiple myeloma, and combination chemotherapy was begun. He now attends the out-patient department at our hospital. The development of multiple myeloma has not been reported previously during a course of malignant lymphoma. Although the association of these two B cell neoplasias was unknown, in this case both showed the characteristic of kappa type light chains. This case may provide information concerning tumor cell origin.

A 71-year-old woman with a remote history of esophagogastric resection for malignancy developed abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. She died of shock 15 days after admission, during which time clinical investigation failed to reveal recurrent tumor or an ulcer. The autopsy revealed massive exsanguination secondary to a peptic-ulcer-induced aortoenteric fistula (AEF). The ulcer involved the third portion of the duodenum, was chronic, and complicated by growth of fungus. We review the literature on peptic-ulcer-related AEF.

A 71-year-old male patient was referred to our department for further examination for right retroperitoneal tumor. Exploration was done through a flank approach and the tumor with right adrenal gland was removed. A pleomorphic lipoma was diagnosed histopathologically. There have been 8 reported cases of pleomorphic lipoma including our present case in Japan and we discuss the pathogenesis and treatment of this rare disease.

A 71-year-old female was evaluated for a sudden loss of consciousness. Initial computed tomography and cerebral angiography revealed a severe subarachnoid hemorrhage, a large cystic lesion in the left occipital region, and an aneurysm at the bifurcation of the internal carotid and the posterior communicating artery on the right side. As the subarachnoid hemorrhage was thought to be due to rupture of the aneurysm, we attempted to clip the aneurysmal neck at first, and 2 weeks later the cystic tumor was removed for the purpose of internal decompression. The extirpated specimen proved to be an epidermoid tumor. Association of a brain tumor and an cerebral aneurysm is very rare, especially a combination of an epidermoid tumor and a cerebral aneurysm, and until now only 2 cases have been reported to the best of our knowledge. Moreover, the epidermoid tumor of our case was located intracerebrally. The phenomenon that the internal carotid aneurysm was on the left side and the tumor on the right side may suggest that these 2 lesions originated quite coincidentally. It is controversial to decide which lesion and when to treat first in a case of association of a tumor and an aneurysm, and we discussed as to the surgical therapy reviewing literature.

Myxedema causes functional derangement of various organs. However, it is rarely presented by pleural effusion. A 71-year-old man who had received radiotherapy for his nasal malignancy and left mandibular tumor developed bilateral, massive, refractory pleural effusions and respiratory embarrassment with several episodes of apnea in spite of treatment with diuretics, antibiotics, antituberculous agents, adrenal corticosteroid hormone and therapeutic thoracenteses. Definitive diagnosis was delayed until 6 months after admission. Replacement of the thyroid hormone resulted in the disappearance of the pleural effusion and the dramatic improvement of his long-time hearing impairment. Myxedema should be considered in the differential diagnosis of an unexplained pleural effusion no matter whether it is a transudate or an exudate.

A 71-year-old woman had the sudden onset of a neurogenic bladder and a stepwise increase in paraparesis that left her unable to stand or walk. Magnetic resonance imaging showed what appeared to be a tumor in the conus medullaris. After laminectomy, the lesion was localized by ultrasound examination, and a biopsy was performed. The deficits remained unchanged postoperatively. Microscopic examination of the biopsy specimen showed necrosis and pathologic changes consistent with infarction of the conus medullaris. An anomalous arterial supply of the conus medullaris is the most likely cause of this unusual problem. The patient gradually regained her ability to walk, but the neurogenic bladder persists.

A 71-year-old Japanese man with basaloid-squamous carcinoma of the esophagus is reported. The carcinoma contained basaloid cells, a few small cornified foci, and a large amount of eosinophilic hyaline substance, which reacted positively upon periodic acid-Schiff, type IV collagen, and laminin staining. Ultrastructural examination revealed markedly replicated basement membranes (BM). The morphological findings suggested that this tumor secreted abundant BM substance. Small nests of cancer cells were attached to the dysplastic esophageal epithelium. The tumor cells exhibited negative staining for mucin, secretory component, lactoferrin, and carcinoembryonic antigen. These findings, as well as the observed keratinization and attachment between the carcinoma nests and mucosal epithelium, indicate that the tumor originated in the mucosal epithelium of the esophagus.

A case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is reported. A 71-year-old man presented with complaint of dysuria and urinary frequency. Rectal examination and CT scan revealed a bulky mass in the rectovesical space. Transperineal needle biopsy of the tumor revealed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, large cell type, diffuse. The patient received combination chemotherapy of adriamycin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, prednisolone and pepleomycin. After two days the tumor was marvelously reduced in size, and partial response (PR) by CT was achieved after two months. PR was sustained for two months with cyclophosphamide, vincristine and prednisolone. However, the tumor progressed gradually, and he died five months after the first treatment and two additional courses of chemotherapy. Autopsy showed a 1,700 g bulky mass in the rectovesical space. The mass was covered with peritoneum and had a fistula from rectum to central necrosis of the tumor. Nine cases of the non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with complaint of dysuria have been reported in Japan before our case, which seemed to arise from the submucosal tissue of anterior rectal wall, prostate or lymphatic tissue of rectovesical space.

A 71-year-old male underwent therapeutic pneumothorax for left pulmonary tuberculosis 42 years ago. He visited our hospital in February 1988 with a complaint of hemosputum. In October, cytology of sputum revealed malignant cells, and the patient was admitted to our hospital for further examination. Because malignant cells were found by the left bronchial lavage, pan-pleuropneumonectomy was performed on January 12, 1989 under the diagnosis of left lung cancer. The tumor was partially left unremoved. Histological diagnosis was diffuse large cell type, B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Postoperatively, 2 courses of cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, vincristine, prednisone, etoposide (CHOP and VP-16) therapy were performed. However, the patient died of respiratory insufficiency on the 125th postoperative day. Recently, cases of malignant lymphoma involving the pleura after the old tuberculous empyema and therapeutic pneumothorax have been increased. Therefore, prompt diagnosis and treatment are recommended when tumor shadow is suspected as a result of imaging examination.
