RESUMO
The authors describe a compartment syndrome of the deep posterior flexor compartment due to perforation of the popliteal artery by an osteocartilaginous exostosis, in a healthy 13-year-old boy. The difficulties in making the diagnosis are discussed. In a review of the literature regarding this condition, the combination of compartment syndrome and exostoses could not be found.

We describe a case of mucocele of the appendix, observed incidentally in a 42-year-old man. The plain film, ultrasound and CT features are reviewed. Adequate diagnosis and resection are important because of the risk of rupture and development of pseudomyxoma peritonei.

Cystic lesions of the adrenal gland are rare entities. Pseudocysts account for 40% of all cystic tumors of the adrenal glands, and are a consequence of hemorrhage and degeneration. Clinical signs are aspecific. On US and CT, a well defined large mass with cystic appearance is found. Thickening and irregularity of the cystic wall areas of different attenuation values within the cyst and central calcifications are due to hemorrhage. The more complex pseudocysts should be distinguished from cystic degeneration in adrenal malignancy and from cystic hypernephroma in the renal upper pole.
