RESUMO
We report on several pediatric patients in whom multiple surgical procedures were performed under the same anesthesia. The hospital cost is compared with the estimated cost if the procedures were performed separately. The savings were considerable, and there was no increase in morbidity and no lessening of the quality of results.

The clinical course of 56 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder and poorly differentiated transitional cell carcinoma with squamous metaplasia were compared. Survival was evaluated to compare treatments and biologic potentials of these neoplasms. Squamous cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder behaves as poorly differentiated transitional cell carcinoma with squamous metaplasia, and survival is significantly poorer than in poorly differentiated transitional cell carcinoma. While survivals are limited, only radical, surgical extirpation can be associated with significant patient salvage.

Renal cell oncocytomas are benign tumors of tubular epithelial origin. They usually occur as single nodules and may be confused clinically with renal cell carcinoma. We report an unusual case of multiple, discrete renal cell oncocytomas. The characteristic gross and light microscopic, and ultrastructural features are described. The potential of multicentricity is confirmed and its implications for therapy are discussed.
