ABSTRACT
Reported is the case of a 17-year-old girl with a multicystic tumor in the middle of the right kidney. Partial nephrectomy revealed an epithelial neoplasm with multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma pattern. The cells exhibited strong nuclear reactivity for TFE3 protein and supported the diagnosis of Xp11 translocation carcinoma of the kidney. A similar case has not been found in the literature. The example emphasizes the high index of suspicion needed for an accurate diagnosis of renal carcinomas.

Two cases of superficial dorsal penile vein thrombophlebitis (penile Mondor's disease) are presented. In general, this disease occurs after prolonged and vigorous sexual intercourse. The patients usually respond to antinflammatory therapy and sexual abstinence. The penile Mondor's disease is probably under diagnosed and under reported, neverthless its clinical presentation is very typical. Patients are frequently very anxious about this condition, however its prognosis is always favorable

A rutura renal espontânea é rara. Os autores descrevem três casos, sendo que em dois a manifestaçäo foi hematoma subcapsular e no terceiro, um hematoma gigante retroperitoneal. O diagnóstico etiológico pré-operatório pode ser difícil e a conduta deve ser sempre interveniente, dada a grande associaçäo rutura renal espontânea - tumor renal
