Objective: To improve the knowledge about complications of renal transplantation and, in particular, graft rupture.
Methods: Case report and literature review.
Outcome: We present the case of a 37 year-old patient receiving a second renal transplant.
Introduction: Stab wounds of the kidney have traditionally been managed by open surgery. Nowadays the conservative management of stab wounds injuries is extended in order to avoid unnecessaries nephrectomies and laparotomies without increasing morbidity and mortality.

Methods: 68-year-old male asymptomatic patient who was diagnosed of solid mass after a radiological study (ultrasound and CT scan).
Results: The treatment of this neoplasia was radical nephrectomy, with an uneventful postoperative course and a pathology report of renal leiomyoma.
Objectives: To report one case of right paratesticular rabdomyosarcoma in a 21-year-old young adult.
Methods: After treatment with right radical orchiectomy through an inguinal incision it was classified as clinical group I A following the IRS-III (localized disease completely excised) and received adjuvant treatment with Vincristine and actinomicin D.
Results/conclusions: The patient is disease free 18 months after surgery.
Objectives: To report one case of renal brucelloma, an extraordinarily rare pathology in our environment.
Methods: 51-year-old completely asymptomatic patient who was referred from his primary care physician for the study of a calcified image on the right renal area discovered in a x-ray control.
Results: Radiological studies (US + CT scan + IVU) showed an irregular calcified mass in the lower pole of a non-functional right kidney.
