RESUMO
Mediastinum hemangioma is a rare benign tumor. We performed surgery and present the first reported case in Chile. The patient is a 24-year-old symptomatic woman, referred to our hospital from a rural health center. The patient had all routine preoperative studies, chest radiographs and computed tomography of the thorax. We performed a median sternotomy with a complete resection of the mass. During the 36-month follow-up, she was well, asymptomatic and without relapse evidence. A review of the most outstanding characteristics of this rare tumor is presented.

Spontaneous retroperitoneal hematoma is a rare condition. We report a 78 year-old man with progressive pain in his right thigh and hip lasting one week. The pain subsequently was associated with abdominal pain in the right lower quadrant. Physical examination revealed pain to deep palpation of the area, associated with a diffuse positive rebound pain. An abdominal and pelvis CT scan showed an extensive mesenteric hematoma. During surgery, a large retroperitoneal encapsulated hematoma, without evidence of active bleeding, was found and drained. Pathology confirmed the diagnosis and was negative for cancer.
