The article describes a patient with primary, closed, calcified renal cyst in whom the first symptoms appeared three years ago. They were manifested as a dull pain in the flank spinal region. A hard painless tumour, of the size of a man's hand, with clearly limited contours, without signs of fluctuation, was palpable in the left paraumbilical region. The intravenous urography revealed the existence of the pyelocaliceal system of the left kidney displaced by a cranially large cyst. The finding was confirmed by ultrasound. Computerized tomography revealed a cyst of 120 x 85 x 70 cm of size. Its wall was calcified and the content liquidus. Renovasography was performed after constatation that renal echinococcus was in question. This procedure enabled a good insight into the distribution of the blood vessels. On the basis of this finding resection of the lower part of the left cystic kidney was performed. The postoperative course was normal. The histologic finding was: Echinococcus cysticus.

Taking into account the results of other investigators, the authors tried to show the important role of prostatic specific antigen in early diagnosis of prostate cancer, and in predicting of pathologic stage and grade. Prostatic specific antigen (PSA) is a tumour marker highly specific for prostatic tissue. In healthy men sera, normal PSA concentrations range from 2.5 to 4.0 ng/ml, dependent on the test and laboratory findings. Higher PSA levels are found in benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatic and prostate infarction. Markerdly high PSA levels can be found in higher stages of prostate cancer. Therefore, PSA has become and important marker in prostate cancer diagnostic procedures. Its remarkable importance has been proved in early diagnosis of local recurrence after radical prostatectomy, and in the montoring of post-therapeutic response.

The authors report a case of renal carbuncle at 44 year old women. The patient has been presented with high temperature and strong pain in the left costovertebral angle. Diagnosis was based on ultrasonography, intravenous urography and computed tomography and confirmed by percutaneous punction. The patient has been successfully cured by percutaneous drainage and parenteral application of antibiotics.
