Renal poly cystic sinus is a rare disease which is bilateral and has benign course. It usually breaks out after the fifth decade of life. The cysts in this disease are mainly of lymphatic origin. They can be associated with inflammation, stone or obstruction. Unlike the multicystic and polycystic kidney in which the cysts are formed in the cortex, in this disease they are seen in the sinus of the kidneys. What makes this case unique and necessery to report is its rareness and differentiation from other renal cystic lesions. The author could not find any previous report about the coexistance of edema of mons pubis with renal polycystic sinus. This study reports a bilateral poly cystic sinus which exists with intermittent edema of mons pubis. The patient is a 24-year-old female who complained of a mild pain in the flank area with intermittent edema of the mons pubis. The patient underwent urologic and gynecologic examinations which lead to the final diagnosis of renal bilateral poly cystic sinus disease. The disease had a benign course and the patient is under observation after the biopsy.

  Background & objectives: More than 95% of bile ducts diseases are pertain to either gallbladder stone or cholecystitis. Normally, there is not amylase in gallbladder and its presence indicates reflux from the pancreas. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between presence of gallstones and amylase level in gallbladder.

  Methods: In this cross-sectional study 100 patients with cholecystitis were selected and after removal of the gallbladder under sterilized conditions, about 1-5 ml of fluid has been aspirated from bladder. The amylase level of samples was measured in the laboratory and collected data analyzed using statistical tests such as t-test and ANOVA by SPSS 18 software.

  Results : A total of 100 patients with cholecystitis, 42% had measurable amylase in gallbladder (25-65 IU/L). The patients were in the range of 22-92 years old and 47% of them was in the age group of 40-60 years old. The mean age of patients was 48.2 years old (SD=12). There was a significant linear correlation between the gallbladder amylase level and the age of patients (r=0.76, p=0.001).

  Conclusion: Results of our study showed a significant relationship between the formation of gallestones and pancreatic amylase reflux to gallbladder. So, in patients with gallestones, the possible existence of pancreatitis and specially the probability of the pancreas and bile duct obstruction or narrowing should be checked .
