Conservative management of non-traumatic subcapsular renal hematoma: a case report.

The case of a 78-year-old woman with a non-traumatic subcapsular renal hematoma is described. She complained of right flank pain and fever and the findings following abdominal echography, computerized tomography (CT) scan and renal angiography agreed with a diagnosis of subcapsular renal hematoma without renal tumor. Percutaneous drainage of the hematoma improved her clinical symptoms and the lesion was seen on CT scan. Ten months later, no change in the right kidney could be seen on CT scan and echography. We conclude that conservative management is the first choice for subcapsular renal hematoma without a definite etiology, especially in an elderly patient.

[Spindle cell carcinoma of the penis--a case report].

Over a 2-month period, a 34-year old man with phimosis developed a pedunculated tumor, measuring 4 X 2.5 X 2 cm in his glans penis. Microscopically the bulk of the tumor was composed of spindle-shaped cells, however, at some parts of the tumor, squamous cell cysts or nests, consistent with well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, were noted. Atypical epithelial cells merged imperceptibly with the underlying spindle-shaped cells. The histological diagnosis of spindle cell carcinoma, an uncommon variant of squamous cell carcinoma, was made. Spindle cell carcinoma arising from the penis is very rare and only two reports are available at present.
