We report two cases of acute urinary retention in women with an impacted pelvic mass. In both cases, all urinary symptoms resolved completely after the surgical removal of the mass.
When evaluated by the SIRS score, the factors related to the surgical invasiveness of augmentation ileocystoplasty were a longer operating time and concurrent shunt diversion. The higher invasiveness of this operation compared with major urological operations was also revealed. These facts should be considered carefully when the indications for augmentation ileocystoplasty are determined.
Various toxicities have been observed during the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma with interferon-a (IFN-a ) and/or interleukin-2 (IL-2). We report a case of severe anemia, which responded well to steroid therapy, in a patient receiving IL-2 plus IFN-a for metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
