Abstract: We report a case of renal cell carcinoma with polymyositis. A 62-year-old female with a diagnosis of polymyositis was referred to our department because of the right renal mass discovered by computed tomography. An ultrasonography and renal angiography showed a solid and hypovascular area at the middle pole of the right kidney. A fine needle aspiration biopsy of the mass was performed and the cytology showed a papillary adenocarcinoma. Therefore, the right radical nephrectomy was carried out and her myopathic symptoms were slightly improved postoperatively. The patient has remained well without recurrence or metastasis for two years.

Abstract: The patient, an 18-year-old woman, visited a local doctor complaining of right flank pain Characteristic findings obtained by X-ray examination suggested milk of calcium renal stone in the calyceal diverticulum of the right kidney, she was introduced to our clinic on February 16, 1989 Although examinations on admission showed no urinary tract obstruction or renal function disorders, since she repeatedly suffered from flank pain, we decided to remove the stone percutaneously and widen the mouth of the diverticulum Conventional percutaneous nephrolithotripsy methods were used to endoscopically remove the stone but we were unable to ascertain the mouth of the calyceal diverticulum Thus, we removed the nephrostomy tube The stone was composed to 83% calcium oxalate and 17% calcium phosphate She was released from the hospital with no particular postoperative complications and at present the flank pain has disappeared Percutaneous treatments against milk of calcium renal stone are discussed
