[A giant adrenal mass: the anatomicopathological surprise finding]. / Masa suprarrenal gigante: sorpresa anatomopatológica.

OBJECTIVE: The present study reviews the differential diagnosis of adrenal masses, including the uncommon forms, as the one described herein. METHOD/RESULTS: A patient with a giant adrenal mass that required differential diagnosis from other types of adrenal masses is presented. The diagnosis could only be made following anatomopathological analyses. CONCLUSIONS: The present case demonstrates that the uncommon forms of adrenal masses must be taken into account in the differential diagnosis, which, however, can only be confirmed by the pathological analysis since the findings on diagnostic imaging mimic other forms.

[Renal oncocytoma in acquired cystic diseases]. / Oncocitoma renal en enfermedad quística adquirida.

The authors report a case of renal oncocytoma associated with acquired renal cystic disease and we comment on its pathogenesis and course. This case responds a patient with chronic end renal insufficiency, included in a maintenance hemodialysis program for the two previous years nefrectomy. The association of oncocytoma with acquired renal cystic disease has been previously described only twice; both patients have been hemodialyzed for a long time.

[Solitary gastric ulcer due to cytomegalovirus: a cause of acute digestive hemorrhage]. / Ulcera gástrica solitaria por citomegalovirus: una causa de hemorragia digestiva aguda.

A 29-year-old homosexual man, with acquired immune deficiency syndrome was admitted to the hospital for evaluation of severe and recurrent epigastric pain, and important weight loss of 3-5 month duration. An upper gastrointestinal GI hemorrhage required an endoscopic examination which demonstrated a larger ulcer of the gastric antrum interpreted as suspicious of malignancy.
