A Clinical Observation on Cystoscopic Manipulation of Distal Ureteral Stone / 대한비뇨기과학회지

We had been managed on 95 cases of distal ureteral stone with cystoscopic manipulation who were admitted to the Department of Urology, Han-iI Hospital during the period of 5 years from March 1st, 1981 to February 28th, 1986 using the Dormia stone dislodger and following results were obtained. 1. Among them, 41 cases were extracted immediately on primary application of the Dormia stone dislodgers and 7 cases were delivered by indwelling method and 13 cases were delivered spontaneously after ureteral meatotomy. 2. Over-all success rate was 67.4% but the subdivided success rate according to the size of stone decreased with increasing size of stone. 3. There were no major complication, but in one case basket was entrapped in the ureter.

A Case of Pleomorphic Rhabdomyosarcoma of an Adult Prostate / 대한비뇨기과학회지

Rhadomyosarcoma of the prostate is relatively rare and highly malignant condition. Three major categories of rhabdomyosarcoma exist, which should be kept clearly separated: pleomorphic, embryonal, and alveolar Pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma is actually the least common of the three categories. It arises from myotome-derived skeletal muscle and occurs almost exclusively in adults. We make the unequivocal diagnosis of pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma only if we can detect cross striations in some of the tumor cells. Herein we experienced a pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma of the prostate which is generally not found in the urogenital area and reviewed literature briefly.
