The 22 adenosquamous carcinoma cases were studied clinicopathologically. The tumor provides many difficulties such as: rapid spreading properties, delayed detection as advanced carcinoma because of the presence of endophytic growth, frequent prevalence of vessel permeation, and radioresistance. Adenosquamous carcinoma was categorized histochemically and histomorphologically into two types--adenosquamous carcinoma (AC) and mucoepidermoid carcinoma, with a comparison being given. As a result, adenosquamous carcinoma (AC) was found inferior to mucoepidermoid carcinoma in radiosensitivity and prognosis, so that categorization into the two types has been considered to be clinically meaningful.

[Treatment of tumors of the urinary bladder with so-called immunopotentiators].

Eighty-eight cases of urinary bladder tumor were treated in our Department from 1976 to 1978. The effect of so-called immunopotentiators (OK-432, Levamisole and PSK) was studied in 23 patients. The following results were obtained. Pretreatment intracutaneous response to PHA was significantly lower in the high stage and high grade group than in the low stage and low grade group (P less than 0.025). However, there was no correlation between the effect of immunotherapy and PHA skin reaction. Of the immunoglobulins, only IgM was significantly lower in the high grade group than in the low grade group (P less than 0.025). The one-year survival rate for the patients in the high stage group was higher receiving immunotherapy than those not treated. This suggests that immunotherapy may be useful for prolonging the survival time of patients with advanced bladder carcinoma.

[A case of retroperitoneal malakoplakia].

A case of retroperitoneal malakoplakia is reported. A 50-year-old female was admitted with the chief complaint of right flank pain. Intravenous pyelography, computed tomography, selective iliac arteriography and abdominal echography revealed right pararenal abscess and the right renal tumor suspected. About one liter of yellowish fluid was drained from the retroperitoneal space, but no right renal tumor was found. Pathological diagnosis was retroperitoneal malakoplakia postoperatively. This is assumed to be the second case of retroperitoneal malakoplakia in Japan.
