Bilateral multifocal renal oncocytomas are very rare disorders with only 6 previously reported cases in the world literature, of which only 3 have had pathologic confirmation. We present the first reported case of diffuse, bilateral, multifocal renal oncocytomatosis in a patient with end-stage renal disease requiring hemodialysis. Our patient was found to have hundreds of nodular tumors in both kidneys on exploration, representing the second such reported finding.
Early ischemic bowel disease may be apparent on In-111 WBC scan before endoscopic changes of the mucosa. This may indicate a subacute process. The case in point did have angiographic findings of ileocolitis despite repeated colonoscopy.

Chest tubes are inserted for a variety of reasons, and a number of complications have been associated with their use. We report a case of traumatic hemopneumothorax in which the chest tube crossed the mediastinum into the contralateral lung causing a pneumothorax. Its position was not apparent on portable chest radiographs.
