ABSTRACT
Primary localized amyloidosis is a rare disease. A 75-year-old woman with a history of intermittent right-sided renal colic and hematuria had a stricture of lower ureter which was suspected to be caused by tumor or fibrosis. Intraoperative frozen biopsy of the ureter showed no evidence of malignancy. So we report a case of primary amyloidosis of the ureter which was treated successfully with segmental resection and end to end anastomosis.

Traumatic dislocation of the testis is an unusual disorder and is characterized by an ectopically displaced testis as the result of closed injury. We report on 2 patients inguinal dislocation of the testis that was treated by orchiopexy, with brief of literatures.

We analysed 3,130 patients with simple renal cyst who were discovered in 27,216 men receiving routine ultrasound examination in our hospital. Incidence of simple renal cyst was 11.5% in all populations and ratio of male to female was 1.8: 1. Patients age ranged from 14 to 91 years (average age 63.8 years) and number of renal cysts were increased after fifth decade in both sexes. Size of cysts were increasing along with age. And 201 cases visiting Urology Department were examined on symptoms. Symptoms associated with simple renal cysts were : none( 77.6% ), pain ( 11.4% ), gross hematuria( 4.0% ) and epigastric discomfort( 3.0% ). Benign renal cysts were treated with percutaneous aspiration in 9 cases, percutaneous aspiration with sclerosing agent in 13 cases and only follow-up in asymptomatic 29 cases. All were followed by ultrasound from 6 to 38 months(average 27 months). Overall efficacy were 44.4% with aspiration and 92.2 % with combined therapy. Sclerosing therapy using 99% ethanol seems to be a safe and effective way to prevent reaccumulation of cystic fluid in symptomatic cases. But routine follow-up is sufficient in asymptomatic cases, since simple renal cysts increase slowly in size.

Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome is inherited as an autcsonal dominant trait with a high degree of penetrane and variable expressivity. The mair features are basal cell carcinoma. jaw cysts, skeletal anornalies, ectopic calcifications and palmoplantar pits. We report varous clinical ma.nifestations in brother and sister, wnich are jaw cyst,, bifid rib, shortened fourth metacarpals, ectopie calcification, palrnoplanar pits and basal cell carcinoma, Microscopically, histologic patterns of basal cell cacinomas are superficial, nodulocystic, keratotic, pigmented, adenoid and follicullar nevoid. Lange numbers of basal cell carcinomas were electrodessicated and curetted under general,nesthesia.
