Soft tissue sarcomas are neoplasms which envolve from mesodermic tissue, being characterized for their low incidence (1% of all malignant tumors), histologic heterogeneity and diverseness regarding their localization. We present a new case of this infrequent tumor: malignant fibrous histiocytoma of exceptional localization: mediastinum.
We present a case of duodenal obstruction caused by biliary calculus (Bouveret's syndrome) an unusual cause of gallstone ileus. The clinical presentation simulated a pyloric stenosis, the gastrointestinal X-ray study being that which allowed us to establish diagnosis. Surgery was carried out only on the duodenal obstruction with successful results.

We describe a case of esophageal ulcer produced by oral ingestion of a capsule of doxycycline. A review is made of medications that produce esophageal lesions, and the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of these lesions. We emphasize the importance of taking these drugs with abundant liquids, in erect position, never before going to bed, to prevent these lesions.

We present a new case of Boerhaave's syndrome, that debuted as a picture of acute abdomen which led to the realization of an exploratory laparotomy that failed to evidence the esophageal perforation.
