[Pathologic horseshoe kidney. Report of 13 cases].

The authors report a series of 13 horseshoe kidneys observed over a 22-year period. All patients are men with a mean age of 39 years (20-65 years). The clinical features were dominated by abdomino-lumbar pain (nine cases). The horseshoe kidney was associated with renal stones in nine cases, uretero-pelvic junction syndrome in five cases and pyonephrosis in one case. The specific anatomic and surgical features of this rare malformation are emphasized and the therapeutic features of each uropathy associated with horseshoe kidney are discussed.

[Giant retroperitoneal hemangiopericytoma: a new case].

Hemangiopericytomas are a rare vascular tumours that are derived from Zimmermann pericytes. Retroperitoneal hemangiopericytoma is usually bulky, clinical silent, and malignant. We present a 48 years old man, with compressive symptoms and a painless mass due to a giant retroperitoneal hemangiopericytoma weighing 3 kg. We are prompted to present this case as it is believed to be the largest hemangiopericytoma reported to date.

The trauma occurred by accident of traffic in 19 cases, an accident of work in seven cases, an accident during sport in seven cases, aggression in six cases and brawl in one case. The clinical symptomatology was dominated by inflammatory big scrotum or haematoma in the tunic. Ultrasound imaging was performed in 20 patients, showed a contusion of the testicle in five cases, haematoma of the scrotum in ten cases and albuginal rupture in two cases. Thirty patients underwent surgical repair. Five patients underwent orchidectomy.

[Subcapsular spontaneous hematoma of the kidney of non-tumor origin (report of 5 cases)].

Spontaneous subcapsular haematoma (SCH) of the kidney is a rare condition, secondary to kidney tumours in more than 50% of cases. Nephrectomy is justified in the presence of tumour or uncontrolled haemorrhage. When the aetiology cannot be determined, thin-slice CT follow-up of the patient's kidney can be performed. The authors report 5 cases of SCH of the kidney. A retropelvic aneurysm was responsible for the haematoma in one case; polyarteritis nodosa was the cause of bleeding in another case and the aetiology could not be determined in two cases. All patients were managed surgically. Nephrectomy was performed in 3 cases and simple evacuation of the haematoma was performed in 2 cases.
