RESUMO
Internal iliac artery aneurysm (IIAA) is a type of abdominal aneurysm that is a rare cause of lower urinary tract symptoms because of its anatomic location. If diagnosed after rupture, it can be lethal and surgery is mandatory. A 57-year-old male presented with acute urinary retention and syncope. An intra-abdominal mass initially thought to be an aneurysm was apparent by ultrasound. A computed tomography scan of the abdomen confirmed an internal iliac artery aneurysm accompanied by rupture. The patient was discharged without any complications within 20 days after receiving a vascular graft and resection of the aneurysm.

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis is a rare, drug-induced disease that is occasionally accompanied by acute renal failure. It is characterized by the abrupt onset of widespread pustules on an erythematous base and rapid spontaneous healing. We report a case involving a 47-year-old male who presented with exanthematous pustules after taking medication. Azotemia was found in the resulting blood test. We were able to achieve the final diagnosis by skin biopsy. After instructing the patient not to take the previous medication, oral steroids were prescribed. He recovered within 2 weeks with just desquamations remaining.
