ABSTRACT
The hyperthyroidism is associated to different clinical situations with a relative frequency on the daily practice. Anyway, there have been discovered and published some clinical cases of thyroid cancer with insufficient symptoms, associated with a typical clinical hyperthyroidism and that have been related with Graves Basedow Disease. We expose here two different kinds of non typical thyroid cancer as a contribution to medical literature. In these cases, thanks to a careful exploration, further tests and, above all, fine needle aspiration puncture, hidden cancer was discovered. Cancer was not expected because of clinical symptoms. The definitive treatment was marked by fine needle aspiration puncture.

Report of three cases of Wunderlich Syndrome secondary to renal adenocarcinoma, hydronephrosis and non-filar blood dyscrasia, highlighting its uncommon etiology. Brief review of the etiopathogenic, diagnostic and therapeutical aspects, pointing out the relevance of renal ultrasonography and, most specially, abdominal CAT to achieve a definitive diagnosis and to determine the attitude to follow, trying to use conservative surgery whenever possible, although our three cases were treated with nephrectomy.
