[A case of giant epidermoid cyst occupying the testis].

A case of a giant epidermoid cyst of the testis is presented. A 65-year-old man was incidentally pointed out to have left scrotal painless swelling. Physical examination revealed an over hen-egg sized enlargement of the left scrotal contents.

[A case of fibroepithelial polyp of the ureter resected ureteroscopically].

A case of a giant fibroepithelial polyp of the ureter is presented. A 76-year-old woman was pointed out to have a tumorus lesion in the urinary bladder by ultrasonography. Intravenous pyelography showed a filling defect in the lower portion of the left ureter and bladder.

[Active combination immunochemotherapy with interferon-alpha, interleukin-2 and gemcitabine for four patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma].

Immunochemotherapy consisting of interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha), interleukin-2 (IL-2), and gemcitabine (GEM) for metastatic renal cell carcinoma. A partial response maintained for 15 months, was obtained in one case resistant to IFN-alpha and IL-2 of para-aortic lymph node metastases (case 1). A minor response with 30% reduction of lung metastasis was obtained in one IFN-alpha resistant case, and the duration was 6 months (case 2).

[Active chemotherapy with gemcitabine, carboplatin and docetaxel for three patients with MVAC-resistant liver metastasis of urothelial carcinoma].

We report three cases with methotrexate-vinblastin-adriamycin-cisplatin (MVAC) resistant multiple liver metastases of urothelial carcinoma that responded to combination chemotherapy consisting of gemcitabine plus carboplatin (GC) with additional docetaxel (GCD) as salvage chemotherapy. Case 1: A 55-year-old man underwent left nephroureterectomy for ureteral cancer (TCC, G3, pT3pN1M0). Three courses of GC followed by three courses of GCD were given via intra-hepatic arterial infusion for multiple liver metastases, which appeared after adjuvant high-dose MVAC therapy.
