Bilateral renal oncocytomatosis in a patient with renal failure.

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.

Adenoma, Oxyphilic↗

Histoplasmosis of the penis.

Histoplasmosis is a common cause of systemic mycosis in endemic areas of the United States. Genitourinary and cutaneous involvement with this dimorphous fungus is rare. We report a case of disseminated histoplasmosis associated with nonpainful ulcerative lesions of the glans and shaft of the penis.

Right-sided pneumothorax as a result of a left-sided chest tube.

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.
