RESUMO
We present the case of a 45 year old patient with severe hypertension refractory to medical treatment who was diagnosed a significant stenosis of an accessory renal artery whilst the main renal arteries were normal. The arterial dilatation through angioplasty of the accessory artery improved dramatically the control of his hypertension.

We present three cases of breast lesions labeled as probable intramammary lymph nodes that showed an increase in size on follow-up mammography. Contrast-enhanced MRI was performed and the three lesions showed strong and rapid uptake of the intravenous contrast. Core needle biopsy established the diagnosis of lymphoid hyperplasia in all three patients. Because intramammary lymph nodes affected by benign processes can present findings similar to malignant lesions, the usefulness of contrast-enhanced MRI in these cases is controversial.
