[Malacoplakia in the ureter and bladder].

We report a case of malacoplakia in the ureter and bladder. A 78-year-old woman was admitted to our department for detailed examination of hydronephrosis. A small-fingertip-sized tumorous yellowish white lesion was detected by cytoscopy at a site that appeared to be the right side of the ureteral orifice. Transurethral resection was performed on the same site. Flat yellowish white protruding lesions were seen at two sites on the right ureter. Michaelis-Gutmann bodies were observed in biopsy specimens from both the bladder and ureter, and a diagnosis of malacoplakia was made. Ascorbic acid and bethanechol chloride were administered postoperatively. Endoscopy performed three months after the operation showed that the protruding lesions in the bladder and ureter had disappeared. Narrowing of the ureter or vesicoureteral reflux has not been seen to date.

[Nephrogenic adenoma of the bladder treated with cystectomy to control severe irritative symptoms: a case report].

A 68-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for treatment of a recurrent bladder tumor. Histological examination performed after transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TUR-BT) revealed a nephrogenic adenoma without any evidence of malignancy. After TUR-BT, total cystectomy was performed to control severe irritative symptoms. Prolonged cystitis and intravesical pirarubicin therapy after TUR-BT may have played an etiological role. Our case is the 25th case of nephrogenic adenoma of the bladder reported in the Japanese literature.

[Questionnaire survey on sexual behavior of Japanese males infected with sexually transmitted diseases].

In Japan, there has been a rapid increase in recent years in the incidence of sexually transmitted diseases (STD), particularly in teenagers and people in their twenties. To determine the factors causing this increase in STD, we carried out a questionnaire survey on the sexual behavior of Japanese males. The subjects were 248 male patients who were treated at our outpatient clinic. The results of the survey showed that 1) about 70% of the male patients were infected through sexual intercourse with partners who were not paid for such services; 2) the average number of partners in the past year was 5.8, and the average number of partners was highest for the teenage group and decreased with age; 3) only 29 (12.4%) of the 234 males used condoms; and 4) 192 (82.0%) of the 234 males received oral sex. The results of the survey suggest that a large "sexual network" has been formed among young Japanese people and that a large percentage of young Japanese people are engaged in unprotected sex.
