Clear cell sarcoma of the kidney rarely affects adults. It has an aggressive evolution, with a high rate of recurrence and mortality. We report the case of a 58 year old man with clear cell sarcoma of the kidney and discuss the benefit and value of medical imaging for management.

UNLABELLED: Acute mediastinitis is uncommon. When it occurs, it usually follows an esophageal perforation or thoracic surgery. CASE REPORT: We report on a case of a ten-year-old girl with non traumatic mediastinitis secondary to a pleuro-pulmonary infection due to Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Spiculated reactive periosteal bone is usually found in cases of primary malignant bone tumors; rarely in secondary bone lesions. The authors report a case of bone tumor of the clavicle in a 62 year-old patient with "sunburst " periosteal reaction on radiographs. The metastatic nature of this lesion from an unknown prostate carcinoma was confirmed by immunohistochemical studies of the clavicle biopsy. Tumorectomy was performed and the patient's status is stable with a follow-up of 10 months.

Primary sarcomas of the kidney are exceptional, representing 1 to 3% of all renal tumours in adults. They have a poor prognosis. The authors report a case of primary leiomyosarcoma of the kidney in a 44-year old patient, presenting in the form of low back pain and haematuria. Treatment consisted of radical nephrectomy. Two months later, the patient presented with hepatic metastases. The patient is currently receiving chemotherapy.
