Dermal graft repair of Peyronie's disease: survey of 50 patients.

Peyronie's disease is characterized by localized fibrosis in the tunica albuginea of the corpus cavernosum. This inelastic segment causes bending of the erect penis and sexual incapacity in advanced cases. We reviewed 52 cases in which excision of the Peyronie's plaque and replacement of the defect with a dermal graft have been done. An operation is an acceptable method to treat patients who are anatomic and sexual cripples. More than 70 per cent of our postoperative patients have been satisfied with sexual performance. Specific aspects of the postoperative course and surgical results are reviewed.

Primary mucus-secreting adenocarcinoma of the renal pelvis.

Mucus-secreting adenocarcinoma of the renal pelvis is an extremely rare tumor. It arises from multipotential transitional epithelium which is capable of undergoing metaplastic transformation when subjected to chronic irritation from calculi, hydronephrosis, or pyelonephritis. Women are affected slightly more often than men. Tumor invasion implies a poor prognosis. Long-term survival occurs but is infrequent. In the case reported, preoperative angiography yielded useful diagnostic information.
