ABSTRACT
Orchiepididymitis is a rare complication of acute pancreatitis and leads to misdiagnosis and unnecessary surgery. Abdominal pelvic CT and testicular Doppler ultrasound are the two key examinations in this situation. This is about a 38-year-old patient, seen in the emergency room in an initial picture of right orchiepididymitis secondary to a migration of pancreatic fluid collection treated with antibiotic therapy with monitoring. No consensus as to management has not been established so far. - According to the 2012 Atlanta Consensus: basic antibiotic therapy is recommended in case of suspected infection of these collections.

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Polycystic kidney disease is a cillopathy characterized by the formation of numerous cysts in the kidneys, sometimes associated with extra-renal forms. Diagnosis is often by chance, or by other complications such as hematuria, urinary tract infections or, rarely, compression of neighboring organs. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a patient consulted for a symptomatology similar to that of acute pancreatitis, whose investigation objectified compression of the main bile duct by a voluminous right kidney polycystic in a CT scan. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: For this compressive complication of the polycystic kidney, a nephrectomy was performed after embolization of the renal artery, given the haemorrhage risk. CONCLUSION: A polycystic kidney should be removed in the event of a compressive complication and, given the risk of haemorrhage, should preferably be preceded by embolization.
ABSTRACT
Adrenal myelolipoma (MLS) is a rare, benign and non-functional neoplasm, composed of adipose tissue and myeloid. We report a rare case of adrenal myelolipoma of a 20-year-old female revealed with chronic abdominal pain. Computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen guided diagnosis and surgical resection was performed given symptomatic and bulky mass. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis. At 18 months after the surgery, the patient had no evidence of recurrence. The diagnosis of MLS is radiological. Therapeutic abstention is the rule for a small, asymptomatic tumor. The surgical removal is indicated when it is bulky (exceeds 7cm), symptomatic or hormonal activity.
