ABSTRACT
We report a case of retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma recurrence. This entity is rare, < 0.2% of all tumours in humans and 25-30% of retroperitoneal sarcomas. The diagnosis is usually delayed in relationship with scarce clinical signs which favorite the development of great tumour volume before diagnosis. The treatment is surgical, with wide margins excision. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are not adequates for treatment of this pathological entity.

Suelen diagnosticarse tardíamente debido a su vaga sintomatología, alcanzando grandes volúmenes tumorales. El tratamiento es la completa escisión quirúrgica con amplios márgenes, no habiendo demostrado utilidad otras terapias como la radioterapia o la quimioterapia (AU)

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.

El hipertiroidismo va asociado a distintas entidades clínicas de relativa frecuencia en la practica diaria. No obstante no debemos olvidar que existen casos de cancer de tiroides de presentación larvada asociados a una clínica hipertiroidea típica que han sido publicados, y que se han relacionado principalmente con la enfermedad de Graves Basedow. Presentamos aquí, dos casos de cancer de tiroides de presentación atípica, para añadir a la literatura. En estos casos la exploración cuidadosa, las pruebas complementarias y sobre todo la PAAF fueron las que indicaron la existencia de un carcinoma oculto, que dada la presentación del cuadro clínico no se sospechaba inicialmente. Fue la PAAF la que permitió aplicar el tratamiento definitivo (AU)
