Acquired cystic disease of kidney associated with renal cell carcinoma in chronic dialysis patients.

We describe 2 cases of acquired cystic disease of the kidney (ACDK) associated with renal cell carcinoma in patients treated with long-term hemodialysis. Both patients have had dialysis for five and eight years, respectively. Renal cell carcinomas of these patients are small, averaging 2 cm in diameter. They are clear cell type. Atypical epithelial hyperplasia arising from cystic areas can be seen intermingling with carcinoma. This confirms that atypical epithelial hyperplasia is a precursor of renal cell carcinoma. Although the incidence of renal cell carcinoma arising in ACDK is on the rise, the issue of how to manage patients with ACDK remained unsettled and required further study.

Aged

Gastric infarction.

We have described a patient with an acute condition of the abdomen who had infarction of the stomach and the small intestine due to atheromatous thrombus of celiac and superior mesenteric arteries. We believe this unusual simultaneous occurrence of gastric and small intestinal infarction is coincidental. The outcome of gastric infarction is frequently fatal.

Aged

Cholesterol granuloma of right testis.

A case of cholesterol granuloma of the testis is presented. This lesion might be caused by trauma and inflammation. The difference between cholesterol granuloma and lipogranuloma of the external genitalia is emphasized.

Aged

Budd-Chiari syndrome caused by undifferentiated small round cell tumor of the liver in an adult.

An undifferentiated small round cell tumor of the liver in a 60 year old black male is described. Although the light microscopic findings in this tumor were strongly suggestive of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, the ultrastructural study disclosed no myofibrils or other specific characteristics. Thus, we classify this tumor as an embryonic tumor or primitive mesenchymal tumor of the liver.

Budd-Chiari Syndrome

Malacoplakia of the vagina.

Malacoplakia of the vagina was incidentally discovered in a 47-year-old white woman with a history of chronic active hepatitis and steroid hormone therapy. The relation between malacoplakia, liver disease, and steroid therapy is discussed.

Chronic Disease

Coexisting malignant lymphoma and adenocarcinoma of the stomach.

The fourth case of malignant lymphoma coexisting with an adenocarcinoma in the stomach is presented. Although an increased incidence of systemic malignant lymphoma in association with gastrointestinal tumors has recently been emphasized, primary gastric lymphoma and adenocarcinoma coexisting in the same stomach is still rare.

Adenocarcinoma

Basal cell adenoma of prostate.

A case of basal cell adenoma originating in the prostate is presented. This lesion might develop from proliferation of basal epithelial cells of the prostate gland under unknown mechanism.

Aged

Cushing's syndrome and functioning adrenal black adenoma.

A case of functioning adrenal black adenoma with Cushing's syndrome is briefly presented. This is the fourth reported case of this particular functioning tumor. The other three cases were also associated with Cushing's syndrome. The angiographic feature of adrenal venography in our case is identical to ordinary adrenal neoplasm and is the first documented roentgenologic study.

Adenoma

Peutz-Jeghers polyposis with metastasizing duodenal carcinoma.

A case of Peutz-Jeghers polyposis associated with duodenal carcinoma but without cutaneous pigmentation was presented. Duodenal carcinoma is the most commonly associated neoplasm. The presence of vitiligo in this patient is coincidental. Of 14 reported cases of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome associated with intestinal carcinoma, in only two was the tumor shown to originate in the polyp. In our case, too, we believe the carcinoma developed independently.
