ABSTRACT
The authors report a case of cavernous hemangioma of the kidney, a rare benign tumor. The interest of this case is probably to be the only one reported with MRI: an high signal intensity T2 in weight sequence could represent in the future a good information for the diagnosis. Endoscopic methods are useful for the diagnosis, but cannot be used for therapy. The treatment is surgical. Selective embolisation could be a good alternative in the future.

The authors report their experience of a rare tumor of the kidney : papillary renal cell-carcinoma. This tumor was composed of papillary vegetations sometimes with infiltrating macrophages. They report the pathological and clinical features and the hypovascularized appearance of this tumor. The prognosis is better than that of clear cells adenocarcinoma.

The authors report their experience of a rare tumor of kidney : oncocytoma. This tumor was made of polygonal cells separated by an endocrinoid stroma. They report pathological feature and clinical course and pronostic who is better than in carcinoma. Other names have been given : proximal tubular adenomas, true kidney hypernephroma, Riopelle tumor.

The authors report a case of rupture of the renal pelvis in a young man, the course of which was spontaneously favourable over a period of a few days. No aetiology was determined, despite complete clinical, biological, pyelographic and arteriographic studies. The patient recovered completely without surgical or urological treatment. This condition is rare, 50 cases having been published in 1975.

New knowledge on arterial blood supply of the 3rd and 4th parts of theduodenum. Injection of the digestive arterial system in 15 adult subjects allows the study of the blood supply of the 3rd and 4th parts of the duodenum. Although the duodeno-pancreatic arches are constantly found, the authors showed that the branches to the duodenum have a variable layout. On the right of the superior mesenteric artery, the distribution of the branches is always regular on both sides of the 3rd part of the duodenum. On the other hand, on the left of this artery, there is sometimes a vascular hiatus which may extend to the duodeno-jejunal angle. Although in 60 per cent of the cases, this part of the duodenum is well supplied with blood on both surfaces, in 40 per cent of the cases on the other hand, there exists an avascular area on both sides. This lay-out is not favorable for division and anastomosis of this segment of the digestive tract.
