The oncogenic potential of (+/-)-4-diethylamino-1,1-dimethylbut-2-yn-1-yl 2-cyclohexyl-2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetate monohydrochloride monohydrate (NS-21), a new drug for the treatment of urinary frequency and incontinence, was assessed when it was administered in the diet of Charles River Fischer-344 rats for 2 years in dosages of 0, 10, 30 and 100 mg/kg/day. No drug-related effects occurred on survival, appearance or behavior, or occurrence, location or number of palpable masses. Food efficiency and hematologic values also were apparently unaffected. Statistically significantly low mean weekly body weights and average food consumption values were observed in the all dose groups. The plasma concentrations of NS-21 and its active metabolite, RCC-36, in the treated groups were increased in a dose-dependent manner. Histopathological examinations disclosed test article-related increases in the incidence of periportal hypertrophy and midzonal hepatocellular vacuolization in the livers of the 100 mg/kg/day animals. There were no test article-related effects on the incidence or type of neoplastic lesions. In conclusion, under the conditions of this study, no oncogenic effects were evident in Fischer-344 rats when NS-21 was administered in the diet in concentrations to produce an intake of up to 100 mg/kg/day for 2 years.

Leiomyosarcomas are rare malignant tumors of the kidney. They may arise from the renal capsule, renal vein, renal pelvic musculature or renal parenchyma. Renal pelvis is an uncommon site of occurrence, with around 10 cases reported in the literature so far. Here we present a 60-year-old male who presented with increased urinary frequency, lower limb weakness, anorexia and weight loss. Imaging showed a right renal mass. A renal cell carcinoma was suspected clinically. A right nephrectomy was performed, which showed a large circumscribed mass in the hilar region. Histology revealed a tumor mass arising from the renal pelvis. The tumor was composed of spindle cells arranged in fascicles. Immunohistochemistry showed tumor cells to be positive for smooth muscle actin (SMA) and desmin (Des) and negative for cytokeratin (CK), HMB 45, CD117 (C-kit), and CD34. That confirmed the diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma.

A 54-year-old man presented to the office with gross painless hematuria, dysuria, and urinary frequency. He was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma of the kidney and transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. The article reviews the presentation, radiology, pathology, and intervention of an uncommon case of synchronous primary carcinomas, and aims to show the importance of continued clinical suspicion for multiple genitourinary primary neoplasms.
