Résumé
Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP) is a systemic vasculitis involving the skin, gut, joint and kidney that is characterized by immunoglobulin A (IgA)-dominant immune deposits in target organs. Gastrointestinal involvement is known to be relatively common, but acute pancreatitis and pulmonary involvement are rare in Henoch-Schonlein purpura. We experienced a case of a 46-year-old man who developed adult-onset HSP complicated by acute pancreatitis and interstitial pneumonitis. The patient received corticosteroid therapy at a dosage of 0.5 mg/kg. After corticosteroid therapy, patient's symptoms improved. We report here the first case of HSP complicated by acute pancreatitis and interstitial pneumonitis.

Primary retroperitoneal neoplasms are rare, accounting for only 0.1-0.2% of all malignancies. Retroperitoneal location of leiomyoma are uncommon. Less than 2% of retroperitoneal tumors are leiomyomas. We report a case of huge retroperitonal leiomyoma mimicking solid adnexal mass with brief literature review.
