ABSTRACT
Spontaneous renal rupture is relatively uncommon entity. In Korean literature, 8 cases have been reported. We experienced 1 case of spontaneous renal rupture secondary to hydronephrosis caused by metastatic adenocarcinoma of undetermined origin invading upper ureter and presented it with a brief review of literature.

The metastasis of renal cell carcinoma to ureter, urinary bladder and uterus are not common, only a few cases were reported. A 63 years old female was admitted to department of urology, Korea university hospital with intractable hematuria, vaginal bleeding and severe frank pain on left is side with abdominal distension. Herein we are presenting a case of metastatic renal cell carcinoma with review and literature.

Prognosis of prostatic carcinoma can be cheefly influenced not by method of treatment, but histological differentiation and tumor stage. We reviewed histologic grade and survival of prostatic carcinoma retrospectively using the Gleason grade system based on gland differentiation and relation between gland and stroma in 25 patients from Jan, 1980 to Jan, 1987, Whom we had follow-up data about. The following results were obtained. 1. The average age of patients was 69 years with a range of 56 to 84 years. 2. We identified 1 patients as grade 2, 4 patients as grade 3, 9 patients as grade 4, 11 patients as grade 5 of total 25 patients. In 2 year survival, there were 100% for low combined Gleason(2-4), 90% for intermediate group(5-7), 80% for high grade. 3. There was close relationship between tumor grade and stage such that high grade is high stage, low grade is in low stage. 4. There were high mortality index(0.102) in high grade group, low mortality index(0.039 %) in low grade group in prostatic index combined Gleason grade with clinical tumor staging.

Giant hydronephrosis is a clinical entity in which errors of diagnosis are frequent due to the silent development of this pathologic state. We present a case which has been considered worthy of detailed report for various reasons. First, it was a 22 liter hydronephrosis which is, so far as can be discovered from available Korean literature, the largest that has been removed surgically. Secondly, despite of huge hydronephrosis, the patient experienced delivery.

We describe 6 case of ectopic ureteral orifice was on vaginal wall and the most frequent symptom of ectopic ureteral orifice was incontinence. Vagino-gram and indigo carmine test was very important in diagnosis of ectopic ureteral orifice and identification of ectopic ureteral orifice and then nephrectomy, partial nephrectomy with ureterectomy was rational in treating ectopic ureteral orifice combining loss renal function.

Stone in the enlarged prostatic utricle is relatively rare and usually secondary to cystic dilatation of the utricle. Irritative lower urinary tract symptoms are the most common presenting complaint. Recently we experienced a enlarged prostatic utricle containing multiple stone and reviewed literature briefly.

The Author's are presenting a case of hypoplastic ectopic kidney in pelvic cavity with short ureteral length and ectopic ureteral orifice in vaginal vestibulum. The size of ectopic kidney was unusually small, chest nut size, as dislocated kidney congenitally which made put more effort then usual diagnostic approach to locate it.
