ABSTRACT
20 cases of study group whose follow-up period is over 6 months among 22 cases of bladder tumors treated with doxorubicin instillation following TUR during the period from December, 1981 through December, 1983 were compared with 30 cases of controlled group whose follow-up period is over 6 months among 32 cases of bladder tumors treated with thio-tepa instillation following TUR during the period from January, 1978 through June, 1981. Following result were obtained. 1. Recurrence rate In TUR + doxorubicin, 25%, In TUR+thio-tepa,30% 2. Interval between TUR & the first recurrence: In TUR + doxorubicin, average 9 months, In TUR + thio-tepa, average 8.1 months 3. Complication: In TUR + doxorubicin, painful urination in 2 cases(10%), In TUR + thio-tepa, hematuria, dysuria, painful urination, and urethral stricture in 8 cases(26.7%).

Between Jan, 1971 and July, 1977, 28 consecutive patients underwent total cystectomy and ureteroileocutaneostomy for carcinoma of the bladder in the Department of Urology. Keimyung University Medical College and Hospital, and survival was valuated in 25 patients who had been followed for at least 5 years. 1. Patients ranged in age from 31 years to 72 years, with an average of 53.6 years with peak incidence in the 6th decade and the male to female ratio was 3:1. 2. Preoperative irradiation and pelvic lymphadenectomy were not performed. 3. Operative mortality was 7.1 percent. 4. Early complications included wound infection. wound dehiscence, ileus, intestinal obstruction, pulmonary embolism, rectal injury, spontaneously pneumothorax, hydropneumothroax, renal failure, and hepatic coma. Late complications included parastromal dermatitis, stromal ulceration, recurrent stromal bleeding, fecal fistula, intestinal obstruction and hydronephrosis. 5. The over all 5-year survival rate was 32 percent. The over all 5-year survival rate for patients with transitional cell carcinoma wag 33.3 percent, for squamous cell carcinoma 25 percent, and for adenocarcinoma 33.3 percent. 6. The 5-year survival rate for patients with superficial (A and B1) transitional cell tumor was 80 percent, for B2 and C tumor 11 percent and for D 25 percent. 7. The 5-year survival rate for patients with grade II tumor wag 57 percent, for grade III 17 percent, and for grade IV 20 percent.

Although testicular tumor were reported sporadically in Korea malignant tumors developed in bilateral cryptorchidism were rarely seen in the literature. Seminoma is the most frquent tumor of the testis. Here, we report a rare case of seminoma developed in cryptorchid testis of a 32 years old male and relevant literatures have been reviewed.

The slides of testicular biopsy were reviewed of 29 cases of infertile men admitted to the Department of Urology, Keimyung University School of Medicine during the period from 1974 through 1982. Among the 29 cases, seminovesiculograms were made of 25 cases, The results obtained were as follows: 1. In testicular biopsy findings, 10 cases (34.5%) of hypospermatogenesis, 7 cases (24.1%) of germ cell aplasia, 6 cases (20.7%) of normal spermatogenesis, 2 cases of maturation arrest, 2 cases of tubular hyalinization, 1 case of generalized fibrosis and 1 case of incomplete spermatocytic arrest were observed. 2. In aspect of past history, 3 cases of epididymal tuberculosis showed normal spermatogenesis. 1 case of epididymal tuberculosis, scrotal trauma and retrograde ejaculation showed hypospermatogenesis. and 1 case of irradiation and heat showed maturation arrest. 3. 69% of all the cases of male infertility in the present series belonged to the testicular category and 31% were posttesticular causes, but pretesticular causes were excluded in this report. 4. Among the 5 cases who showed obstruction on seminovesiculograms, 3 cases of normal spermatogenesis and 2 cases hypospermatogenesis were observed. In the past history 3 cases had epididymal tuberculosis and 2 cases had either scrotal trauma or scrotal abscess.

Spermatic cord rhabdomyosarcoma is extremely rare and highly malignant. Most of these tumors occur during the first two decades of life. Since 1849, when Rokitansky first described this tumor, 54 cases have been reported in the literature. Herein we add a case of spermatic cord rhabdomyosarcoma in 48 years old man.
