Experience of screening for carcinoma-in-situ of the testis among young men with surgically corrected maldescended testes.

One hundred and twelve young men with maldescended testes which had been surgically corrected were examined for premalignant/malignant changes in the testes. Bilateral testicular biopsies were made in ninety-four patients. Three had carcinoma-in-situ of the testis in the biopsy. Invasive tumour of seminomatous type was found in two of these testes after orchidectomy had been performed. No correlation was found with testicular localization pre- or postoperatively, with testicular volume or with tumour markers.

Large rhabdomyosarcoma of the urinary bladder in an adult. Case report.

A 56-year-old woman presented with frequency of micturition, haematuria and cardiac decompensation. Intravenous urography showed a large bladder tumour and an expansive lesion in the left kidney. The bladder tumour, removed by TUR, was found to be a rhabdomyosarcoma, and the resected tissue weighed about 310 g. Bilateral, selective renal angiography revealed a large arteriovenous aneurysm in the right kidney and a solid malignant tumour in the left. The aneurysmal vessels were ligated and cystourethrectomy and left nephrectomy were performed 2, 3 and 10 months, respectively, after the TUR. The excised urinary bladder contained no resicual tumour. A renal cell carcinoma was found in the excised left kidney. The patient recovered well, and three and a half years after TUR of the rhabdomyosarcoma she is fully active, with normal renal function and no evidence of disease.

Seminoma after orchiopexy. A case report.

A 29-year-old man had been operated on for bilateral cryptorchism at the age of 11. The right testis was not found and was considered to be aplastic. The left testis was placed surgically in the scrotum. When he entered a follow-up study for early detection of testicular cancer, the right testis was found intraperitoneally and was removed. A left testicular biopsy showed carcinoma in situ and orchiectomy was performed. This testis contained an invasive seminoma.
