ABSTRACT
Augmentation ileocystoplasty is the most available method of enlargement of capacity for the contracted bladder by using the intestinal segment. Contracture of bladder is the result of chronic vesical infections such as tuberculosis, interstitial cystitis, radiation cystitis, or neurogenic bladder, among them tuberculosis is the most common cause of bladder contracture in Korea. Contracted bladder usually demands active correction, while it may lead to considerable vesicoureteral reflux and deterioration of renal function. Herein we describe a clinical observation and follow-up study for more than 2 years on the 5 cases of augmentation ileocystoplasty, which we experienced during the periods from December 1978 to November 1980.

A histopathologic observation was made on 24 patients with cryptorchism admitted to the Department of Urology, Seoul Adventist Hospital during the periods from November 1981 to April 1983. The following results were obtained. 1. The age distribution was ranged from 2 to 28 years and 6 to 10 years of age group was the most commonly affected (9 cases, 37.5%). 2. The most common type of cryptorchidism was the inguinal type (14 cases, 58.3%). The bilateral cryptorchismswere observed in 6 cases and unilateral 18 cases, among them right in 12 cases, left in 6 Cases. 3. On the histopathologic findings of testicular biopsy in 24 cryptorchid testes; per{tubular fibrosis which began before puberty was noted the earliest finding and basement membrane of seminiferous tubules were significantly thickening during puberty. Leydig cells were increased during puberty and they became normal level after puberty but spermatogenesis were not completely observed through all the age group.

We experienced a case of spontaneous rupture of renal angiomyolipoma appeared unilateral and solitary tumor without stigma of tuberous sclerosis in 49 years old women. Renal angiomyolipoma which are not associated with tuberous sclerosis appear at an average of 48 years and are more common in women with a ratio of 6:1 and is a benign tumor. Angiography may be helpful in the differentiation of an angiomyolipoma from renal cell carcinoma. The first symptoms are often due to sudden spontaneous perineal hemorrhage. The patient was managed by left total nephrectomy with good result.

An unusual case of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the bladder in a 77 year old man, who presented with difficult urination, gross hematuria and vague lower abdominal pain. Herein, we report a case of rhabdomyosarcoma. which revealed early recurrence and rapid growing up after partial cystectomy.
