ABSTRACT
Alterations in liver function tests have previously been reported in patients with ovarian disease. We report the case of a woman with prolonged hypertransaminasemia, significant hirsutism and android phenotype who was diagnosed with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and ovarian stromal hyperplasia.

Se han documentado alteraciones en las pruebas de función hepática en pacientes con enfermedad ovárica. El caso que presentamos es el de una paciente con hipertransaminasemia prolongada, hirsutismo importante y fenotipo androide, que es diagnosticada de esteatohepatitis no alcohólica e hiperplasia estromal ovárica

We present a case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of B cells in a patient with cirrhosis by hepatitis C virus. Our patient presented scarce symptomatology related with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. A notable hyperbilirrubinaemia with hypoalbuminaemia were the only features that allowed us to suspect the diagnosis. The diagnostic was proved by necroscopic study. There are several factors involved in the etiology of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, including infectious agents. Recent Italian studies have suggested an association between C virus infection and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. We have carried out a bibliographical revision of this association to conclude that important geographical differencies must be pointed out.

Acute hemorrhage from pancreatic pseudoaneurysm is the most rapidly fatal complication of pancreatitis, with a reported mortality rate of > 90% in untreated patients. The diagnosis of pancreatic pseudoaneurysm requires a high index of suspicion and the abdominal angiography is the gold standard. Transcatheter embolization is an alternative to surgery for treatment in selected patients. Early diagnosis and treatment decrease the mortality dramatically. We describe a patient with a gastrointestinal bleeding from a ruptured pancreatic pseudoaneurysm, with an angiography diagnosis and transcatheter embolization. We treated the pseudocyst with an endoscopic drainage. A review of literature is presented.
