Introduction: Hemobilia represents only 6% of all causes of upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
Presentation Of Case: We report a rare case of a bleeding pseudoaneurysm of the cystic artery, due to a re-activation of a chronic cholecystitis, which arose with a mixed symptomatology: jaundices and hematemesis.
Discussion: The rarity of our patient is increased for some vascular anatomic variations detected by Computed Tomography that influenced the management of the disease.
Iatrogenic ureteral injuries are a dramatic complication in medical practice. Nowadays there are no universal guidelines for their management. The aim of our study was to evaluate the feasibility of the percutaneous treatment in restoring ureteral integrity in 19 patients that came to our attention.

We report a case of an EGIST of the lesser omentum that represented a diagnostic challenge. Due to its atypical radiologic findings, it was preoperatively mistaken for pedunculated hepatic hemangioma.

They can be grouped into lesions originating from the main pancreatic duct, main duct IPMNs (MD-IPMNs), and lesions which arise from secondary branches of parenchyma, denominated branch-duct IPMNs (BD-IPMNs). Management of these cystic lesions is essentially based on clinical and radiological features.

At the pre-operative computed tomography performed for the stadiation of the colonic tumor was incidentally noted the presence of a nodular tumor between the liver and the gastric wall.
Result: A wedge resection of this gastic tumor and the surgical resection of the left colon were performed all at once.
