    It has been reported that the rate of clinically relevant side effects following curative radiotherapy for primary carcinoma is about 3% for urologic complications. Such complications include hematuria, fibrosis, and cystitis. An extremely rare, but dangerous, medical complication following curative radiotherapy that can also be noted is spontaneous bladder perforation. We present such a case of a 27-year-old patient with spontaneous bladder perforation, who was initially misdiagnosed because of its rarity as well as unspecific clinical and laboratory findings

    We present a case of an extremely rare and relatively new tumor entity of the kidney, the anaplastic sarcoma. Although of unknown origin and pathogenesis, treating such a tumor as if it was anaplastic Wilms' tumor seems to be the only therapeutic solution at the present time. Newer immunohistochemical staining and molecular probes should be applied to this neoplasm in order for us to understand it nature and maximize therapy
