ABSTRACT
Spontaneous renal rupture with diversion of blood into the subcapsular and/or perinephric spaces in a patient on chronic hemodialysis is a rare clinical entity. The underlying causes found by various authors were tumours, vascular diseases, inflammatory process and cysts. Rupture of renal cysts is another complication that can be life-threatening when it gives rise to subcapsular and/or perinephric hematomas. Screening has been recommended with ultrasound for hemodialysis patients of longer than 3years'duration. We are report a case of spontaneous renal rupture associated with right renal cyst in a patient receiving chronic hemodialysis.

Nowadays, the increasing use of antibiotics induces many complications including pseudomembranous colitis. Isolates of toxigenic Clostridium difficile, the most frequent cause of antibiotic-associated pseudomembranous colitis, are almost always highly susceptible to rifampicin. However, resistant isolates exist and have been associated with colitis in humans. We report a case of pseudomem- branous colitis associated with rifampicin administration.

Gastric cancer occurs with high frequency and is a significant cause of cancer motality in Korea. The most common metastatic sites of gastric cancer are liver, lung, bone and adrenal gland. Intramuscular metastasis from gastric cancer is an rare case. Skeletal muscle is one of the most unusual sites of metastasis from any malignancy. We report an elderly patient with gastric cancer developing multiple metastasis in skeletal musle.
