ABSTRACT
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT)is a potentially or low-grade malignant mesenchymal neoplasm, which is rare in clinic. Renomedullary interstitial cell tumor(RICT) is a clinically rare benign renal tumor. The combination of these two diseases in one patient has not been reported. A 25-year-old female patient was admitted to the hospital due to left back pain for 12 days and hematuria for 1 week. MRI of kidneys showed a mass in the left renal pelvis, which was considered as renal pelvic carcinoma. Urine cytopathological examination was negative. Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical left nephroureterectomy was performed. There was no tumor recurrence or metastasis during the follow-up for more than 6 months after operation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To assess CT diagnostic value of gastric stromal tumor (GST). Methods Clinical data and spiral CT findings of 20 patients with pathologically proven GST were analyzed retrospectively. Results Twenty lesions were solitary in plain CT scan image. The malignant lesions (n=9) were larger than 5.0 cm in diameter and cystic degenerations as well as necrosis were detected within the tumors, while the underlying malignant lesions (n=11) were smaller than 5.0 cm in diameter and most of them showed homogeneous density. Calcification was detected in 2 patients. On enhanced CT scan, the substantial part of the lesions was obviously strengthened. Multiplanar reformation displayed the relationship of tumor and stomach clearly. Conclusion The CT imaging features of gastric stromal tumor are characteristic. Plain CT scan and multiplanar reformation are helpful to determine the location and nature of gastric stromal tumors.
ABSTRACT
Although fibromas are the most common renal medullary tumor identified at autopsy. their small sized and benign course make clinical detection extremely difficult. Only 9 clinical cases of renal medullary fibromas have been reported. Many fibromas of the renal medulla, previously considered as bamahomas. seemed to be composed of tumerous transformation of renomedullary interstitial calls Herein we report on a patient with huge renal medullary fibroma treated by right radical nephrectomy.

We present an ultrastructure of an incidentally found renomedullary interstitial tumor also called as medullary fibroma in a 77 year-old female who had a metastatic adenocarcinoma of colon to the ureter. This tumor was a small and grayish white nodule in renal medulla, measuring 0.4 x 0.4 cm. Microscopically the tumor composed of spindle cells, with some vacuolation and intercellular collagen fibers. The electron microscopic observation of the spindle cells reveal that nuclei are spindle to oval shape and cytoplasm contain abundant rough endoplasmic reticulum, polyribosome without microfilaments and cisterna like structures supporting that the renomedullary interstitial cell tumor is renal interstitial cell origin than fibroblasts.

Interstitial cell tumor of testis is relatively rare, comprising only 0.8 to 1.4 percent of all testicular tumors. A 67-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with rapid growing testicular mass. He had the experience of hydrocele and many times of aspiration since childhood. On physical examination, the testicular mass (left) was hard, adult fist sized and associated with transparent cystic fluid. Under the impression of testicular tumor, orchiectomy was performed. We report this case with review of literature.
