RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Dermoid cysts, or also known as mature cystic teratomas, are one of the most common benign ovarian tumors. Spontaneous rupture of this tumor is rare and can be suspected on imaging. CASE REPORT: we report a case of ruptured mature ovarian teratoma. A 21 years old previously healthy woman presented with recurrent pelvic pain, the diagnostic of rupture was made by imaging. The patient underwent surgery with a good follow up. DISCUSSION: Dermoid cysts are the most common benign ovarian neoplasm and its rupture is rare due to its thick capsule. Imaging has a major role in the diagnosis of dermoid cyst and in the detection of its rupture. CT scan is the most requested modality imaging especially in acute abdominal pains. MRI can performed for further characterization. CONCLUSION: the aim of the study is to report a new case of ruptured mature ovarian teratoma and to describe the imaging signs suggesting dermoid cysts rupture.
RESUMO
Anterior urethral valves (AUVs) is an unusual cause of congenital obstruction of the male urethra, being 15-30 times less common than posterior urethral valves. We present a case of AUV diagnosed at 24th gestational week. Ultrasonography and fetal MRI revealed hydronephrotic kidneys with ureteral duplicity, a distended bladder and perineal cystic mass which confirmed dilated anterior urethra in a male fetus. Diagnosis was confirmed postnatally by voiding cystourethrogram and surgery.

PURPOSE: To analyse diagnosis, management and prognosis of florid cystitis glandularis (pseudoneplastic entity). PATIENTS AND METHODS: A retrospective study of 6 consecutive patients with florid cystitis glandularis seen at the department of Urology of Monastir (Tunisia) from January 1996 to July 2006. All patients underwent ultrasonography, and cystoscopy. Computed tomography (CT) was performed in four patients and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in one patient. RESULTS: The six patients, all of whom were male, ranged from 22 to 68 (average 42) years of age. The most common complaints was haematuria. Radiological examination and cystoscopy suggested a bladder tumor in all patients. Histopathology revealed features of cystitis glandularis of intestinal type. Features of the pelvic CT and MRI were consistent with the diagnosis of pelvic lipomatosis in one patient. The endoscopic resection was performed in 5 patients. Recurrence occurred in one of these 5 patients within one and 7 years of follow-up. The other patient had developed a low compliance small-capacity bladder and bilateral ureteral obstruction. A total cystoprostatectomy and ileal neobladder construction was considered, but it was declined by the patient. The patient was treated with anti-inflammatory drug (Indometacine 100 mg/day). CONCLUSION: Cystitis glandularis may be mistaken for bladder tumor The diagnosis is histological. Treatment is based on eradication of the irritative factors and endoscopic resection of the tumoral masses. The clinical course is unclear, requiring long-term fellow-up.

Thrombosis of the ovarian vein is a rare complication which arises classically in the postpartum. We report a case of 24-year-old woman with a history of Behçet's disease, who presented with pelvic and thoracic pain, tachycardia, dyspnea and fever occurring 2 weeks after delivery. Computed tomography revealed an ascending thrombosis of the iliac and right ovarian veins complicated by bilateral pulmonary embolism. The patient responded well to the combination of anticoagulants and immunosuppressive agents. Behçet's disease should also be considered as an etiologic factor for ovarian vein thrombosis.
RESUMO
A 19-year-old man presented with arterial hypertension without blood pressure difference between his upper and lower extremities. Duplex Doppler sonography was performed to rule out renal artery stenosis and revealed a tardus-parvus pattern in both renal arteries as well as in the abdominal aorta, whereas the left subclavian artery showed a normal waveform, suggesting a more distal obstruction. Aortography confirmed a severe aortic coarctation. Because the typical signs and symptoms of aortic coarctation may not be present, especially in adults, a tardus-parvus pattern in the abdominal aorta and its branches, contrasting with a normal pattern in the supra-aortic arteries, should suggest the diagnosis.

Primary liposarcoma of the lung is extremely rare. We report a 28-year-old pregnant woman who complained of dyspnoea during the third trimester. Chest radiography, thoracic ultrasound, CT and MRI showed a huge heterogeneous tumour involving all the left lung and the mediastinum. The tumour was composed of soft tissue, and fatty and cystic components with calcifications. Diagnosis was made on core biopsy under CT guidance. Surgical excision was performed but unfortunately the patient died during the operation.
