Objectives: To report a new case of late renal cell carcinoma recurrence.
Methods: Renal cell carcinoma represents approximately 3% of all adult malignancies. The most frequent metastatic sites are lung (76%), regional lymph nodes (66%), bone (42%), and liver (41%), and it is the third most common infraclavicular neoplasm to metastasize to head and neck.
Pancreatic and psoas abscesses as a late complication of intravesical administration of bacillus Calmette-Guerin for bladder cancer: a case report and review of the literature.

September 2009
Introduction: Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) is a live attenuated strain of Mycobacterium bovis that has been used to treat urothelial carcinoma since 1976, and has been reported to eradicate disease in more than 70% of patients with in situ and stage I disease. To the best of our knowledge, we report the first case of disseminated bacillus Calmette-Guerin infection causing multiple abscesses affecting the pancreatic head and right psoas muscle, diagnosed 5 years after intravesical treatment with bacillus Calmette-Guerin therapy for bladder cancer.
Case Presentation: An 83-year-old Caucasian man was hospitalized with a 2-month history of back pain, anorexia, generalized weakness and a 47-pound weight loss.
Objective: We report one case of ovarian metastasis secondary to a renal clear cell carcinoma.
Methods/results: 52 year-old consulting for metrorrhagia with the initial diagnosis of primary ovarian carcinoma. Tumor dissemination work up tests reported a renal mass suggestive of ovarian metastasis.
Objective: To report a new case of renal metastasis from an squamous cell carcinoma of the lung.
Methods: A 60 year old male presented to the outpatient office with an ultrasound finding of renal mass.
Results: Imaging test studies showed a heterogeneous mass in the upper pole of the left kidney, involving the pelvis and trapping the renal artery.
Objective: [corrected] To report a rare case of secondary testicular plasmocytoma in the context of a testicular mass.
Method: We introduced a patient with plasmocytoma and a testicular infiltration of his systemic affection.
Result: An inguinal orquiectomy was performed to treat the testicular infiltration and no recurrence of the process was seen after 6 months of follow up.
Objective: The aim of this case report is to add to the literature a new case of renal actinomycosis, but with a form of presentation that has never been reported: renal tumor with retroperitoneal bleeding.
Methods/results: We present the case of a 27-year-old woman, with a 5-month history of general syndrome and right flank pain. Radiological findings showed a right renal tumor with suspicious of retroperitoneal bleeding.
