Clear cell adenocarcinoma of the female urethra is extremely rare. We herein describe the 33rd case of clear cell adenocarcinoma of the female urethra in Japan. A 54-year-old female who presented with pollakisuria was referred to our department. Transvaginal examination showed a walnut-sized firm mass on the anterior vaginal wall. Computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), cystourethroscopy and the histopathological findings of the biopsied specimen revealed adenocarcinoma of the urethra. Anterior pelvic exenteration and ileal conduit urinary diversion were performed and the final pathological diagnosis was clear cell adenocarcinoma of the urethra, pT3, pN2. No further adjuvant therapy was conducted. She remains alive 6 months after surgery in spite of paraaortic and inguinal lymph node metastases.

A retrospective analysis was performed to evaluate the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors in the patients with clear cell carcinoma (CCC) of the ovary. After central pathological review and scanning of the medical records of nine Japanese institutions between 1992 and 2003, a total of 254 patients with CCC of the ovary were enrolled in the present study. Mean age was 52.4 years (range 23-73 years). Tumours were 13% (33/254) stage Ia, 36% (92/254) stage Ic, 13% (33/254) stage II, 30% (80/254) stage III, and 6% (16/254) stage IV. Five-year progression-free survival and overall survival was 84 and 88% in stage I, 57 and 70% in stage II, 25 and 33% in stage III and 0 and 0% in stage IV, respectively. Retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis was observed in 9% in pT1a tumours, 7% in pT1c tumours, 13% in pT2 tumours, and 58% in pT3 tumours, respectively. There was no survival benefit according to chemotherapeutic differences in the patients who received complete surgical staging procedures and conventional chemotherapy. Peritoneal cytological status was an independent prognostic factor in stage Ic patients (P=0.03) and only residual tumour diameter was an independent prognostic factor in stage III, IV patients (P=0.02). Our results suggest that cytoreductive surgery resulting in no residual tumour only could improve the prognosis of advanced CCC patients.

A 50-year-old man underwent thorough examination for a chief complaint of melena. Gastric cancer and right kidney cancer were diagnosed. The gastric cancer was in the antrum, and poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma was diagnosed by biopsy. The right kidney cancer was diagnosed as clear cell carcinoma by computed tomography-guided biopsy. We performed right nephrectomy and distal gastrectomy. The final diagnosis of the gastric cancer was por2, pT3( ss), pN3b( 46/ 61), M0, pStage IIIB, R0, and that of the kidney cancer was clear cell carcinoma, pT3a, pN0, pM0. The patient reported lower back pain approximately 2 months after surgery. Several examinations revealed that the patient had multiple bone metastases, disseminated carcinomatosis of the bone marrow, and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).We treated the bone metastasis with denosumab and palliative radiation therapy and the gastric cancer with weekly paclitaxel (PTX). The DIC subsided during the first course but recurred during the discontinuation period. We attempted additional trastuzumab treatment but did not achieve a curative effect, and the patient died. It is necessary to provide appropriate medical care while taking into consideration the possibility of disseminated carcinomatosis of the bone marrow in cases with a high likelihood of lymph node metastasis.

We present a case of renal cell carcinoma growing into the renal pelvis with a fibrin cap in the ureter and bladder. A 66-year-old man presented to our hospital with anemia and gross hematuria. Computed tomography showed a large left renal tumor and space-occupying lesions in the left renal pelvis and ureter. Cystoscopy showed a 2 cm-restiform mass protruding from the left ureteral orifice. We performed open left nephroureterectomy, and there was a 3 cm white mass with a smooth surface in the bladder. Pathological examination of the resected mass revealed clear cell carcinoma with urinary collecting system invasion and fibrin cap in the ureter and bladder. As a result, it would have been difficult to make the diagnossis of renal cell carcinoma preoperatively if we had performed biopsy of the mass in the bladder or ureter. The patient was diagnosed as having lung metastases 5 months after surgery. Urinary collecting system invasion has been considered an independent prognostic factor in pT3 renal cell carcinoma.
