[Primary biliary cirrhosis-autoimmune hepatitis overlap syndrome. Contribution of two new cases].

The autoimmune hepatitis (AIH)-primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) overlap syndrome is characterized for clinical, biochemical, immunological, and histological features overlapping those of AIH and PBC, whose pathogenesis and more appropriate treatment are unknown at present. We describe two new patients of this entity, which made debut with cholestasic acute hepatitis accompanied of hypergammaglobulinemia. In the first patient was demonstrated the presence of AMA, ASMA, and anti-LKM1 autoantibodies; and ANA in the second one. The histological findings showed changes suggestive of AIH and PBC. After the start of immunosuppressive treatment, associated to ursodeoxycholic acid in one patient, a successful outcome was observed.

[Bladder leiomyoma].

OBJECTIVE: Mesenchymal benign tumours of the urinary bladder are rare and account for 1%-5% of all bladder tumours. The leiomyoma is the most common and constitute 46.6% of this group. 25 cases have been described in the national literature. We report an additional case of leiomyoma of the bladder. CASE REPORT: A 53 year-old man with a chronic history of urinary frequency and microscopic hematuria. Physical examination was normal. An excretory urography demonstrated a filling defect in the right bladder wall. The cystoscopy confirmed the tumour, covered with normal bladder mucosa. The echography showed a solid tumour. A computerised tomography scan and magnetic resonance showed a sessile lesion in the right bladder wall with low-intermediate intensity signal and with normal signal of muscle, mucosa and perivesical fat. The clinical diagnosis was leiomyoma of the bladder. Partial cystectomy was done and the histological diagnosis confirmed the clinical diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS: The leiomyoma of the bladder is a rare tumour however it should be considered in the differential diagnosis before surgical treatment.
