[Matrix stone: a case report].

Here, we report a case of matrix stone in a 32-year-old man with diabetes, gout, and chronic renal failure. The patient complained of pain in the left flank. He had undergone an operation for bilateral vesicoureteral reflex at the age of 17 and matrix stone discharge was repeated. Computed tomography revealed a soft tissue mass in the right hydroureter. Percutaneous ureteral lithotripsy was performed successfully. Analysis of the stone components revealed the stone to be composed entirely of protein. Radiological imaging of matrix stones may be difficult to separate from urothelial cancers.

[A case of primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenocarcinoma].

A 41-year-old Japanese woman was admitted to our hospital for right abdominal mass. Various examinations revealed a retroperitoneal lymphangioma. Tumor resection was performed and pathological diagnosis was a mucinous cystadenocarcinoma. It seems that screening with the tumor markers will be helpful for the diagnosis, because it is very difficult to diagnose a retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenocarcinoma before the operation.
