RESUMO
Benign multicystic mesothelioma is a rare disease with a high tendency to local recurrence, but with no tendency to malignancy. The correct diagnosis can be made by histopathological examination in conjunction with immunohistochemical and ultrastructural evaluations. A case of benign cystic mesothelioma recurring three times in a 48-year-old woman is reported, and the management of this disease and the importance of radical surgery are discussed.

Placental site trophoblastic tumor is a rare disease. Since its first description in the literature only about 100 cases have been reported. Initially considered a benign pathology, its malignant potential with metastases was later recognized. About 30% of the cases described metastatised, thereby aggravating the prognosis. The therapy is surgical and in cases of metastatised disease has to be supplemented by chemotherapy. A case of placental site trophoblastic tumour with a single metastasis to the left adrenal gland treated with adrenalectomy and chemotherapy is reported.
