[Causative Bacterial Strains and Sensitivityto Antimicrobial Agents in Female Acute Uncomplicated Cystitis].

Recently, wide spreading of fluoloquinolone resistant Escherichia coli is a serious problem inthe treatment of urinary tract infection. To investigate the causative bacterial strains of female acute uncomplicated cystitis (AUC) in the community and their sensitivity to antimicrobial agents, we retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 215 female AUC patients treated at our clinics from April 2014 to June 2015. Two hundred and nineteen strains were isolated as the causative bacteria from the patients'urine samples, including E. coli of 179 strains (82%) followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (5.5%). One hundred and forty five strains (81%) of the isolated E. coli were sensitive to levofloxacin, whereas 32 strains (17.9%) were levofloxacin-resistant. To fosfomycin, the isolated E. coli showed the highest sensitivity (93.9%) among all antimicrobial agents tested. In univariate analysis, factors associated with levofloxacinresistant E. coli included two or more episodes of cystitis within the past year and levofloxacin use at the latest episode of cystitis. Inmultivariate analysis, two or more episodes of cystitis withinthe past year were found to be associated with levofloxacinresistan ce (p＝0.004). To prevent the increasing prevalence of infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria, it is important to confirm the sensitivity of the causative agents for optimal antimicrobial therapy. The community-based surveillance data should be collected and considered when selecting empirical antimicrobial agents.

[Bladder Metastasis of Renal Cell Carcinoma 7 Years after Ex Vivo Partial Nephrectomy and Auto-Transplantation : A Case Report].

Metastasis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) to urinary bladder is extremely rare. We report a case of metastasis arising from RCC to the urinary bladder 7 years after treatment of bilateral RCC. A 74-year-old man was diagnosed with bilateral multiple renal tumors (T1aN0M1, PUL, OSS) with two lesions in the right kidney and a solitary lesion of the left kidney in 2008. He underwent laparoscopic radical nephrectomy for the right side in September 2008. The next month, ex vivo partial nephrectomy and auto-transplantation was performed for the left kidney because the tumor was located very close to the collecting system. Metastatectomies for the lung and bone followed and the histopathological findings of all lesions were clear cell carcinoma. The following years went well without any recurrence. Seven years after the surgery, the patient complained of asymptomatic gross hematuria and cystoscopy revealed a solitary non-papillary tumor of the bladder. Transurethral resection of the tumor was performed in June 2015 and the histopathological diagnosis of the resected specimens was clear cell carcinoma. Because the additional immunohistochemical examinations were positive for CD10 and negative for CK7, we diagnosed the bladder tumor as metastasis arising from RCC. Direct dissemination of the tumor cells into the urinary tract during partial nephrectomy followed by implantation to the bladder mucosa is a probable mechanism of metastasis in this case.

[Multiple Recurrences in Perirenal Fatty Tissue 10 Years after Enucleation for Treatment of T1a Renal Cell Carcinoma : A Case Report].

A 71-year-old man underwent simple enucleation for T1a renal cell carcinoma of the left kidney 10 years ago, and, the capsule of the tumor was injured during that surgery. The histopathological diagnosis of the tumor was papillary renal cell carcinoma type1 pT1a, G2 and the surgical margin was negative. Eight years after the surgery, computed tomography (CT) scan imaging showed a mass 13 mm in diameter which was adjacent to the left kidney. In the following year, the mass had grown to 22 mm in diameter. Thus it was suspected as local recurrence of renal cell carcinoma. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed multiple tumors in the left perirenal fatty space and positron emission tomography CT showed abnormal uptake in the same lesions with a maximal standardized uptake value of 3.2. We diagnosed multiple local recurrences of renal cell carcinoma and planned open radical nephrectomy and extirpation of perirenal fat including tumors entirely. The histopathological diagnosis of the tumor was papillary renal cell carcinomas type 1, Fuhrman grade 2＞3. The patient had no recurrence or metastases 10 months after the surgery. It is possible that the tumor cells were disseminated during the first surgery due to an injury to the capsule of the tumor and resulted in multiple local recurrences.
