ABSTRACT
Bruners gland hyperplasia (BGH) is an infrequent benign injury located on the first or second portion of the duodenum. We presented the case of a 59 year-old man with vomits, diarrhea, upper gastrointestinal bleeding intermittent and loss of weight in which was a nodule in the duodenum that corresponded to an hyperplasia nodular of Brunners gland.

ABSTRACT
The histologic features of regression may be found in some basal cell carcinomas (BCCs), and it is known that T-cell infiltrates have a significant role in host defense against this tumor. We examined 945 hair follicles (HFs) adjacent to 150 regressing BCCs of skin for the presence of inflammatory infiltrates and compared the results against 315 HFs in 50 samples of normal skin. Focal T-cell infiltrates localized mainly to the upper portion of the HFs were found in 14.5% of the follicles adjacent to regressing BCCs. A statistically significant increase of inflammation in HFs was observed in BCCs with active regression compared with BCCs with inactive and mixed regression (P < 0.05). An increase in the number of HFs involved by T lymphocytes was also found in regressing BCCs compared to normal skin ( P < 0.00005). These data suggest that the damage to the follicles is concordant with active regression of BCCs. We speculate that the immune-mediated regression of BCCs is not only specifically directed to the cells of the tumor but may also induce activated lymphocytes with cytotoxic capability to cross react with the follicular epithelium.

El tumor de células granulosas o tumor de Abrikossoff es una neoplasia usualmente benigna que raramente se presenta en esófago. En el 11 por ciento de los casos el tumor de células granulosas del esófago se halla asociado a otra neoplasia. Presentamos el caso de un varón de 48 años con un tumor de células granulosas del esófago asociado a un adenocaarcinoma de ampolla de Vater.

We describe the case of a 70-year-old woman admitted to our hospital because of anemia and hepatomegaly. Imaging studies (ultrasound and CT scan) revealed a tumor in the liver. The patient developed consumption coagulopathy and died. Postmortem examination revealed hepatic angiosarcoma. The pathophysiology of disseminated intravascular coagulation associated with vascular tumors and abnormalities of blood coagulation in patients with cancer is discussed.

Endometrial carcinoma is rare in women under 40 years of age. The incidence in this age group has been variously reported to be from 1% to 8% of all cases of endometrial carcinoma. Women at high risk, as a result of excess estrogenic stimulation are those with polycystic ovaries, long-standing estrogen users and functioning granulosa cell tumors and thecomas. We report two cases of young women with endometrial carcinoma and polycystic ovaries (Stein-Leventhal syndrome).
