Malignant solitary fibrous tumor of the urinary bladder progressing to widespread metastases and death: a rare case report and literature review.

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) of the urinary bladder has been rarely reported and malignant bladder SFT is even rarer. Here we present a case of an African-American male with SFT of the urinary bladder (intermediate risk) initially treated by cystoprostatectomy at the age of 59 years. Eight years later, he developed recurrence with widespread metastases to the liver, lungs, and abdominal cavity.

Death by compaction in a garbage truck.

We report on two deaths by compaction in a garbage truck that recently occurred in this county. In both cases, the victim apparently climbed into a recycling dumpster to sleep, and was emptied with the contents of the receptacle into a garbage truck. Subsequent compaction of the victim with the load led to death.
