Secondary hypertension (20%) is the result of specific causes and is susceptible of cure. It is uncommon, however, that in the same patient several pathological conditions which a priori could individually cause increased pressure values should coexist. A presentation if made of a patient with arterial hypertension, the study of which demonstrated the existence of homolateral adrenal tumour (corticoadenoma), renal tumour (angiomyolipoma), as well as proximal stenosis and small distal aneurism of the renal artery upper branch. An explanation is given here of the diagnostic evolution showing the images obtained, including a debate of the methodology followed and treatment performed.

Review of its clinical evolution, explaining the histological and histochemical findings, so as to contribute more data with regard to prognosis and composition of those cells. Update and comparison of various authors' views, which are explained for discussion.

Testicle metastasis from prostate cancer is uncommon and often a casual finding during necropsy or after androgen suppressive orchidectomy. A new, asymptomatic case is analyzed, illustrating the various dissemination pathways that could explain this type of metastasis, according to several authors. Also, a description and histological corroboration of the case are included.

We present our statistics and results obtained in the conservative treatment of hydronephrosis in the inferior polar vessel with a kind of operation with certain modifications which we consider to be of practical interest and determined by the following premises:--Disappearance of pain after the operation. --Functional reestablishment and anatomical involution of the deformity. --Conservation of all the kidney tissue and its vascularization. --No possibility of infection due to permanent drainage and catheters.
