RESUMO
Thymolipoma is a rare benign neoplasm of the thymus containing both mature adipose tissue and thymic tissue. We report a case of a 34-year-οld man, presenting a mass of the anterior mediastinum, the radiology investigation and operatory piece diagnosed a thymolipoma. This study highlights the clinical diagnostic and therapeutic features as well as the evolutionary characteristics of this entity.
RESUMO
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is a potentially invasive technique associated with a risk of complications, in particular bleeding. We report the case of a 70-year old female patient who had only left kidney and with a history of renal calculi treated with percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Persistent, average abundant haematuria had occurred two and a half months before, requiring computerized tomography (CT) scan. This had showed false iatrogenic intrarenal inferior polar aneurysm. It required effective selective embolization of biological glue.

Complete common mesentery is a rare abnormality in midgut rotation. Its detection is exceptional during adulthood because, during this period, is very often asymptomatic and therefore not diagnosed. Complete common mesentery may be discovered incidentally in patients with ectopic appendicular syndrome, as in our case study. We here report the case of a 42-year old patient presenting with acute clinico-biological pelvic inflammatory disorder. CT scan allowed the diagnosis of complete common mesentery associated with acute appendicitis. Laparotomy confirmed the diagnosis of perforated acute appendicitis associated with intestinal malrotation. Appendectomy outcomes were favorable.
