Congenital Invagination of the Penis into the Urinary Bladder

Although malformations in the new born are common, congenital anomalies of the penis are extremely rare and the case to be reported is unique in that the penis was located within the urinary bladder and associated with other malformations. A similar case has not been found in the literature, and such authorities as POTTER(1) and STOWERS(2) do not mention this condition in their text books. However, congenital abscence of the penis and the presence of a scrotum is recorded.(1

Coexistent Primary Lymphosarcoma of the Lung Incidentally Present for Five Years in a Patient Treated for Achalasia

The case to be reported is unique in that while the patient was being observed and treated over a period of eight years for cardiospasm and achalasia of the esophagus, a primary lymphosarcoma of the lung develo - ped insidiously. The tumor was first noted on Roentgen examination five years prior to the patient\u27s demise, and for two years the first changes noted on repeateb x ray\u27s of the chest were not considered neoplastic . Since the prognosis of lymphomas of the lung is much better than carcinoma, early ciagnosis and treatment is essential . So often a second disease will develop so insidiously that it is not appreciated and goes un - recognized, as illustrated in our case. Most malignant lymphomas of the lung, when clinically diagnosed, have already disseminated . Since this type of tumor remains localized for long periods and spreads slowly by direct extension, they therefore can be surgically excised , and there are such case reports in the literature . The case in point will illustrates the localization of a primary lymphoma of the lung over a long period before it spread
