RESUMO
The Authors report a case of spontaneous retroperitoneal hematoma due to iliopsoas muscle bleeding. The different causes responsible of such hematomas are taken into account as well as clinical, therapeutical and pathophysiologic aspects connected with the spontaneous bleeding of the iliopsoas muscle. As in the case observed, the Authors suggest that often a careful wait-and-see approach represents the most appropriate therapeutical choice.

The authors, on the basis of a case recently observed dwell upon the natural history, the etiopathogenesis, and diagnosis of idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis. After confirming that medical therapy may be successful in selected cases only, different surgical procedures are analysed. It is concluded that outcome and prognosis of these subjects depend on early diagnosis.

The Authors, on the basis of their personal experience and supported by more significative data from the international literature, underline the validity of the screening in detecting non palpable lesions of the breast. They conclude by asserting that mortality for breast cancer may be further reduced if more and more women undergo screening programmes.
