RESUMO
Glomuvenous malformations are uncommon simple vascular malformations that might be present at birth or appear during childhood that have been classically classified as a subtype of venous malformations. Sclerotherapy and surgery have been used in the past as treatments for this condition although with disappointing results in large glomangiomas. The treatment of these lesions has still not been standardized. We conducted a retrospective study of 17 patients treated with dual wavelength PDL-Nd:YAG. The majority of the patients experience a reduction of at least a 60% in their glomuvenous malformations. Treatment was well-tolerated, and adverse effects were rare.

Myelolipoma is a benign tumour consisting of mature fat with scattered foci of haematopoietic elements resembling bone marrow. Extra-adrenal myelolipomas are an infrequent pattern of presentation. We report the case of a 64-year-old woman who presented a heterogeneous 1.4×2.5×3 cm paravertebral thoracic mass detected by chest tomography during the study of a leukocytosis of unknown aetiology. The CT findings and pathology revealed the diagnosis of myelolipoma.
