Résumé
Splenic cysts are very rare. They were traditionally treated by splenectomy. The recognition of post-splenectomy complications has led to emphasis on conservative techniques. We present a thirteen year old girl with epithelial splenic cyst treated by partial splenectomy. The post-operative CT scan after two weeks confirmed the residual splenic tissue.

Intra-cerebral haemorrhage due to lightning stroke is extremely rare. We report a 45 year old woman who developed intracranial haemorrhage due to a direct lightning stroke. This was proved by CT scan. The haematoma was evacuated surgically, resulting in full neurological recovery of the patient.

An 18 year old boy presented with anaemia, congestive cardiac failure and a 'renal mass'. Preoperative and post-operative investigations demonstrated "reactive plasmacytosis" with antibodies directed against a non-functioning adrenal carcinoma. Existing literature on reactive plasmacytosis and anti-tumour antibodies is summarised.
