Spinal epidural hematoma in hemophilic children: controversies in management.

Introduction And Objective: Spinal epidural hematoma (SEH) is an uncommon complication in hemophilic children. It can produce rapidly progressive neurological deficits. We aim to discuss the different management options for these patients.

[Synchronous chromophobe renal carcinoma and centrocytic lymphoma].

Objectives: To report a case of synchronic neoplasia--chromophobe renal cell carcinoma and low grade non Hodgkin lymphoma--in a 38-year-old male patient, because, although association of these two neoplasias is known, the fact of renal neoplasia being a chromophobe carcinoma is rarely referred to in medical bibliography (3 cases described after Med-Line search).

Methods/results: The diagnostic study included ultrasound and CT scan in a patient presenting with in non specific abdominal symptoms and neck adenopathy; patient underwent left radical nephrectomy and excision of neck adenopathy. Histologic and immuno-histochemical studies revealed the coexistence of chromophobe type renal cell carcinoma and diffuse centrocytic lymphoma.
