ABSTRACT
Total cystectomy was performed to the 40 patients with urinary bladder tumor who were found perivesical fat infiltration by computerized tomography. 25 patients were previously untreated, and 15 patients had undergone transurethral resection or biopsy of the tumor before computerized tomography. The histopathological stage was compared to the preoperative computerized tomography stage. In pathologic specimen, perivesical fat infiltration was found in 62.5% of the cases, whereas perivesical fat infiltration was not found in 37.5% of the cases. In untouched tumors or after transurethral resection computerized tomography accuracy demonstrated no significant difference.

Iliac artery aneurysm is rare disease. We report a 60-year-old man who was referred to our hospital because of right hydronephrosis and pelvic mass. A intravenous pyelogram, a computerized tomography scan and a magnetic resonance imaging revealed a pelvic sarcoma. We experienced a case of right internal iliac artery aneurysm masquerading as pelvic sarcoma.

The synchronous presentation of two separate neoplasms is extremely unusual. In 1921, Graves and Temleton first discovered synchronous two neoplasms in the same kidney. However, almost all reported synchronous tumors arising in a same kidney have been renal cell carcinoma and transitional cell carcinoma. We report a case report of a synchronous renal cell carcinoma and adult Wilms' tumor in a same kidney in a 41-year-old woman which was managed by radical nephrectomy and combination chemotherapy.

Although genitourinary leiomyoma may arise in any anatomic structure containing smooth muscle, primary leiomyoma of the bladder is rare. This tumor is usually asymptomatic unless urinary tract function is affected. We experienced a case of leiomyoma of the bladder with back pain in a 42 year old woman.
