We report a case of eosinophilic cystitis that was responsive to prednisone but that recurred when the drug was withdrawn. The cause of eosinophilic cystitis remains an enigma but it probably represents a form of allergy. Investigation of etiology and therapeutic options are discussed.

A comprehensive practical approach to the diagnosis, staging, and treatment of carcinoma of the prostate is presented. Prostatic cancer in the elderly patient is not a benign clinical condition. The approach is designed to minimize the morbidity of the disease process and to allow the patient to live as normal a life as possible.

The development of another separate primary cancer in a patient with 1 malignant tumor is not uncommon but metastasis of a malignant donor tumor to a different host tumor is extremely rare. Most recipient tumors have been primary renal cell carcinomas. We report a case of metastasis of a malignant melanoma to a renal cell carcinoma.
