Inguinal herniation in two patients with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.

We report two cases of subacute inguinal swelling in uremic patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Computed tomography, scintigraphy demonstrated a mass in the right groin. Surgical repair of an inguinal hernia resulted in complete resolution of the inguinal swelling.

[A case of perineal abscess due to urethral fistula in a patient with spinal cord injury].

We report a case of perineal subcutaneous abscess due to urethral fistula in a patient with spinal cord injury. A 39-year-old male visited our hospital complaining of left scrotal swelling and fever. The left scrotum and perineal skin were swollen to the size of a goose egg, and pus was discharged from the perineal swollen bump.

[A case of amyloidosis of the renal pelvis].

We report a case of localized amyloidosis of the renal pelvis and upper ureter arising in a 74-year-old man who presented at our hospital with gross hematuria. The intravenous pyelogram showed right hydronephrosis and stenosis of right renal pelvis and upper ureter. The cystoscopy view was normal, but the right retrograde-ureteropyelogram showed a long irregular stricture of the renal pelvis.
