[VM-26 salvage therapy for refractory or recurrent germinal testicular cancers].

Four patients with refractory or recurrent germinal testicular cancers were treated with the combination of VM-26 and cis-platinum, and two of them also in combination with radiation therapy. Two complete responses and two partial responses were observed. One partial response was rendered no evidence of disease by sequential radiation therapy. Three of the patients remained to have no evidence of disease from 16, 21 and 22 months. Toxicity was tolerable. VM-26 is an active drug in germinal testicular cancers and plays an important role in salvage therapy, for refractory or recurrent cases.

[A case of vesical malacoplakia].

A 44-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital, complaining of terminal hematuria. On cystoscopy four yellow and soft nodular masses were observed in the bladder, one of which had central ulceration. TUR was performed for these masses. Histological examination revealed that they were vesical malacoplakia. The masses consisted of aggregates of macrophages with abundant cytoplasma in which typical Michaelis-Gutmann bodies were demonstrated by light and electron microscopies.

Thyroid carcinoma and acute lymphoblastic leukemia in childhood.

A 12-year-old boy with T-cell ALL was found to have occult papillary thyroid carcinoma at autopsy. This patient was treated with chemotherapy but no radiotherapy was utilized. Family history was not contributory. Because of short latent period (14 months) and no history of radiotherapy, an intrinsic factor might have played a major role in developing this second malignancy. Currently 11 solid tumors have been reported as second malignant neoplasms after ALL in childhood. Four (including this case) of 11 were thyroid carcinoma. Two of them did not receive any radiotherapy. Special interrelation between ALL and thyroid carcinoma may be considered. And this interrelation should be taken into account in following the patients with ALL in the future.

[Experience with transabdominal and scrotal ultrasonographic examination in urology].

To evaluate its diagnostic availability in urology, transabdominal and scrotal ultrasonographic examination was made on 87 patients who had been admitted to our hospital for space occupying lesions. In retroperitoneal lesions, adrenal tumors and renal tumors greater than 2.5 cm could be detected by this examination. In pelvic lesions, bladder tumors greater than 0.5 cm were demonstrated and prostatic carcinoma with heterogeneous echotexture and irregular margin was discriminated from BPH. Not only could fluid-filled scrotal lesions larger than 1.0 cm be distinguished from solid mass lesions, but the intrascrotal anatomy could also be demonstrated in detail. Because of its safety, flexibility, and accuracy in detecting space occupying lesions, this examination could be a useful screening test in urology. Representative cases we experienced are presented.
