Clinical Observation on the Wilms' Tumor / 대한비뇨기과학회지

A clinical observation was made on the patients with Wilms' tumor admitted to the Yonsei University Hospital during the period from January, 1974 to December, 1981. 1. Age distribution was between 5 months to 76/12 years, the highest incidence rate was in the age group of 12 to 24 months. 2. Mass in abdomen was the most common symptom occurred in 63.2%, gross hematuria in 31.6%, abdominal distention and anorexia in 20.1% each and the others. 3. Left to right ratio was 1.7:1 and simultaneous bilateral tumor was not observed. 4. On I.V.P., 47.4% of cases revealed nonfunctioning kidney. Right renal deformity or displacement was observed in 42.1%, calcification in the tumor mass in 10.5%. 5. On treatment of Wilms' tumor, surgery, irradiation and chemotherapy was performed on 11 cases, surgery and post-op, chemotherapy 4 cases, surgery only 2 cases and irradiation and chemotherapy only 1 case each.

A Clinical Observation on Traumatic Urethral Injury / 대한비뇨기과학회지

A clinical observation was made on 31 cases of traumatic urethral injury in the Department of Urology, Wonju Christian Hospital, during the period from March 1979 to June 1982. The results were as follows: 1. The rate of the urethral injury to total genitourinary tract was 46.3%. 2. Age distribution of urethral injury was the highest in the age of 21-10 (54.8%). 3. In anterior urethral injury, the most common cause was industrial accident (63.6%), the mode of injury was blunt injury (46.5%). In posterior injury, the most common cause was traffic accident (40.0%), the mode of injury was blunt injury (80%). 4. Results from the present study show that the perineal end-to-end anastomosis performed primarily or secondarily showed higher success rate (75%)than other procedures.

A Case of Unilateral Renal Angiomyolipoma Associated with Tuberous Sclerosis / 대한비뇨기과학회지

Renal angiomyolipoma is a relatively uncommon benign tumor and may be associated with tuberous sclerosis, which is characterized by adenoma sebaceum, epilepsy and mental retardation. When a renalangiomyolipoma occurs with tuberous sclerosis, it can be easily diagnosed and the incidence of multiple and bilateral angiomyolipoma is high in patients with multiple sclerosis. Recently we experienced a case of unilateral renal angiomyolipoma associated with tuberous sclerosis which occurred in a 38 year-old housewife, who had right flank mass, adenoma sebaceum on the face, shagreen patches of the back and sublingual fibromas. So we report a case of unilateral renal angiomyolipoma associated with tuberous sclerosis with review of literatures.

A Case of Prostatic Aspergillosis / 대한비뇨기과학회지

Aspergillosis is an infection produced by Aspergillus, a group of fungi, of low pathogenesity for human beings unless resistance is overcome by an overwhelming inoculum or debilitating illness. The disease may become disseminated or remain localized to the lung, ear, orbit or paranasal sinuses, but rare in prostate. We present a case in which this disease process involved the prostate.
