ABSTRACT
Progressive population aging and improved healthcare have led to a significant increase in patients with hip arthroplasty (HA). In this patient group, the proportion of those who require a new arthroplasty (prosthetic replacement or secondary revision of the hip), has also increased. For this subgroup of patients in whom surgical prosthetic replacement should be considered but is contraindicated, a new technique has been developed since 2010: percutaneous injection of periprosthetic cement under fluoroscopic or CT control ("femoroplasty; FMP") as an alternative and less invasive treatment compared to surgery to stabilize the HA without replacing it, with excellent results on patients' quality of life. In this brief communication, we describe our positive experience regarding FMP, which we have performed for the first time in Spain on four patients (age range between 74-83 years, 2 female and 2 male patients, 3 right HA and 1 left HA), without post-complications. We highlight both the relative simplicity of this technique, which can be incorporated into radiological intervention even in regional hospitals, and the significant clinical improvement observed in all patients. In conclusion, we hope that our experience can contribute to the increased adoption of this innovative technique within the scientific community.

A review of the congenital anomalies of the feminine genital apparatus has been carried out with regard to the infrequent finding of a selective septum in cervix with a single uterine cavity and normal morphology in a patient with primary sterility. Colposcopy, hysterosalpingography and laparoscopy have been made for diagnosis confirmation.

We present two cases of gastric lymphoma with radiologic bull's eye lesions in the stomach. One of the patients also had an intestinal leiomyosarcoma that was resected surgically. We underline the rarity of the occurrence of this type of image as a gastrointestinal manifestation of lymphoma, as well as its scant specificity.
