[Psoas tumors].

The authors report a case of benign tumor of the psoas muscle occurring in a 36-year-old man. The diagnosis was based on computed tomography and the patient underwent tumorectomy by an extrapoeritoneal approach. The authors emphasize the ratity f psoas tumors that are usually malignant and the advantage of computed tomography and percutaneous biopsy. Treatment must be incorporated into a multidisciplinary approach in which surgery plays a leading role and must be based on the treatment of soft tissue tumors.

[Retro-iliac ureter associated with ipsilateral megaureter].

Retro-iliac ureter is a rare congenital abnormality. The authors report a case of retro-iliac ureter associated with ipsilateral megaureter in a 38-year-old patient treated by section of the ureter at the ureterovesical junction, and dissection as far as the iliac pedicle and anterior repositioning of this pedicle, followed by ureterovesical reimplantation. Based on a review of the literature, this appears to be the first published case of this pathological association.
