ABSTRACT
An asymptomatic pelvic tumor was incidentally found in a 27-year-old man. A CT-guided needle biopsy with a pathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of a benign schwannoma. We describe the complete robotic resection with the conservation of normal fascicles. The postoperative course was uneventful. No neurological deficit occurred, and the electromyogram was normal 6 weeks and 7 months later.

We present three cases of endometriosis developing in the abdominal wall following cesarean section. The patients were examined by Doppler ultrasonography (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The object is to describe the US and MRI findings of the lesion and evaluate their role in the diagnosis and management. In our opinion, a single procedure is sufficient in evaluating the lesion and in reaching the diagnosis.

Colocolic intussusception in the adult, caused by a tumoral process, is a rare clinical event. We have studied two adults clinically presenting with a mass in the right iliac fossa, which was produced in one case by a carcinoma involving the right colon and in the other case involving the sigmoid. Multi-slice spiral CT imaging showed the presence of a colocolic intussusception-the tumoral characteristics of the lesion eliminated the possibility of a lipoma-and it allowed a satisfactory presurgical evaluation of the pathological process.

The complicated diverticula of the ileum are a rare cause of an acute abdomen. We report on a case in whom the CT imaging leads to the surgical removal of the ileocecal segment.
