The paper deals with the data on 1,248 autopsied cases of renal cancer. Metastases were detected in 87.1% (lung--48.2, lymph nodes--43.6, bones and joints--29.1 and liver--28.7%). 90 out of 139 cases of brain metastases died of the lesion. Metastases into the operative scar (most likely, implantation ones) were registered in 8 out of 224 (3.6%) previously nephrectomized cases. In some patients, nephrectomy produced an inhibitory effect on metastatic spread; 13% of the nephrectomized patients survived 5-20 years after surgery.

[Unique papillary cystadenocarcinoma of the prostate with endocrine cells].

Histological examination of prostatic tumour of a man who died at the age of 71, revealed dark-cell small-acinar carcinoma with scattered papillary cystadenocarcinomatous structures. The latter, apart from two types of epithelial cells (dark granular and clear cells) contained argyrophilic endocrine cells detected by Grimelius' staining. These cells were absent in the dark-cell small-acinar areas. It is suggested that acinar and cystadenopapillary structures differ in their histogenesis.

[Invasiveness and metastases of bladder cancer].

An analysis of post-mortem data on 918 cases of bladder cancer established tumor invasion into adjacent tissues in 50.2 +/- 1.61 and metastases--in 36.9 +/- 1.59% of cases. Paravesical fat tissue, the prostate and ureter were the most frequent sites of invasion: 34.7 +/- 1.57, 15.6 +/- 1.20 and 7.5 +/- 0,87%, respectively. Invasion proved to be among the basic risk factors of recurrence development and vesical fistula formation. Tumors were mostly disseminated into lymph nodes (21.6 +/- 1.36), liver (14.9 +/- 1.17) and lung (10.7 +/- 1.02%). A relationship between histologic pattern of tumor and frequency of metastatic spread was found. Bladder cancer extension into the small pelvis and dissemination were frequently the source of diagnostic errors.

[Pulmonary pneumocystosis in an adult patient].

A 34-year-old male with no diseases in the past developed, after a 7-day alcoholic abuse, an acute pancreatitis and ulcerative necrotic colitis. At the autopsy, apart from the underlying disease, the pulmonary pneumocystosis was found which is considered by the authors as a complication of a severe pathology of the alimentary tract organs followed by immune system dysfunction.

[Multiple primary tumors complicating prostatic cancer].

Postmortem examination of 600 cases of prostatic cancer established concomitant malignancies at other sites in 3.5%, the latter being mostly gastrointestinal carcinomas. Most tumors were synchronous, whereas only 4 out of 21 were metachronous ones. Among the 17 cases of synchronous tumors, prostatic carcinoma was the main pathology in 11, competing-2 and a concomitant one in 4 cases. Out of 17 cases, both tumors were diagnosed intravitally only in 4, one tumor-8 and none-in 5 cases. Among 32 (5.3%) cases of concomitant benign lesions, there was one in which bleeding from an ulcerated glomus tumor of the stomach was the immediate cause of death.
