Secondary hypertension (20%) is the result of specific causes and is susceptible of cure. It is uncommon, however, that in the same patient several pathological conditions which a priori could individually cause increased pressure values should coexist. A presentation if made of a patient with arterial hypertension, the study of which demonstrated the existence of homolateral adrenal tumour (corticoadenoma), renal tumour (angiomyolipoma), as well as proximal stenosis and small distal aneurism of the renal artery upper branch. An explanation is given here of the diagnostic evolution showing the images obtained, including a debate of the methodology followed and treatment performed.
Presentation of one case of prostate carcinoma of "signet ring" cells. Review of its clinical evolution, explaining the histological and histochemical findings, so as to contribute more data with regard to prognosis and composition of those cells. Update and comparison of various authors' views, which are explained for discussion.
Testicle metastasis from prostate cancer is uncommon and often a casual finding during necropsy or after androgen suppressive orchidectomy. A new, asymptomatic case is analyzed, illustrating the various dissemination pathways that could explain this type of metastasis, according to several authors. Also, a description and histological corroboration of the case are included.
