In a series of 73 simple cysts bismuth phosphate was used for treatment in connection with the diagnostic puncture. This compound has proved to be very effective. All cysts diminished, most of them considerably. No major complications occurred and no

One hundred and fifty-six patients with simple renal cysts had either a percutaneous puncture alone, percutaneous puncture combined with bismuth-phosphate instillation or no intervention at all. At follow-up, 25% of the cysts in which there was no intervention had grown

Thirty-eight testicular hydroceles were treated by injection with 0.2-0.4 g of bismuth phosphate. The follow-up was completed in 32 cases, 17 (53%) of which showed complete regression although one patient had to wait 24 months for full regression. Eight patients

Metal phosphates have been popularly regarded as excellent luminescence hosts of lanthanide ions, while such an issue is challenged by the ignorance about the structural stability that may originate from the different chemical nature between the framework and the dopant
