RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: We present the case of a spontaneous subcapsular renal hematoma with increase of the levels of blood pressure in a patient previously normotensive. METHODS: Patient with abdominal pain, spontaneous without previous trauma. CT showed a right subcapsular kidney hematoma. High levels of blood pressure were noticed at the admission in urology. CONCLUSION: Page kidney is a cause of arterial hypertension due to external compression of renal parenchyma. It could be unnoticed as essential hypertension if high suspicion is not taken into account. Nowadays, the main cause of Page kidney is the renal biopsy in the context of kidney transplantation. The treatment is not recommended in the guidelines although the conservative management is proposed as first option.

OBJECTIVE: To report a new case of secondary bladder amyloidosis, beinginvolvement of the urinary bladder by amyloidosis infrequent on the basis of very few references in the literature (we estimate the number of cases of secondary vesical amyloidosis reported to be around 30). METHODS/RESULTS: The case presented here corresponds to secondary bladder amyloidosis in a patient suffering from Still's disease, who began with hematuria and ended dying. CONCLUSION: Secondary bladder amyloidosis constitutes a very infrequent pathology, and we can distinguish between primary forms of bladder amyloidosis and systemic forms of amyloidosis that affect the urinary bladder (secondary bladder amyloidosis). It is associated in the majority of patients with rheumatoid arthritis that has evolved over a long period. Clinical diagnosis is difficult, and it is necessary to carry out differential diagnosis with bladder tumours. The pathological and immunohistochemical studies confirm the diagnosis.

OBJECTIVE: To present a new case of renal infarction. METHODS: We report the case of an 84-year-old woman presenting with right flank colic pain of 24 hours of evolution and past history of acute myocardial infarction four months before. CONCLUSION: Renal infarction is a rare condition; in most of the cases it does not show specific symptoms and usually overlap with other more common urologic procedures, which results in a delay in diagnosis and treatment. The most conclusive imaging tests are i.v contrast CT scan or Doppler ultrasound but definitive diagnosis is achieved by angiography or CT angiography. Treatment is conservative, with parenteral and oral anticoagulation; invasive management is rare.

Abdominal and scrotal ultrasounds were requested and, in order of the findings watched they were complemented with an abdominal contrast enhanced CT scan (CECT). The CETC demonstrated a large right renal tumor sized 12 cm located in the upper pole of the right kidney, in contact with hepatic parenchyma (Figure 1). Renal vein and artery were not affected. Important peritumoral collateral circulation was noticed. Consequently to the large tumor size and extrinsic compression, there was dilatation of right spermatic vein. Both Collateral circulation and right spermatic dilated vein converged in the inguinal duct explaining the presence of right varicocele. The image was 3D reconstructed.
