Pelvic venous congestion syndrome: case report.

Objective: To remind the existence of pelvic venous congestion syndrome as a diagnostic possibility in women with chronic or relapsing abdominal pain that simulates repetitive renal colic, in which common diagnostic tests do not show any positive finding.

Methods: We present the case of a 36-year-old woman with a picture of unilateral relapsing abdominal pain that, after many visits to the emergency room is sent for study with the diagnosis of renal colic. Ultrasound, intravenous urogram and ureteroscopy did not demonstrate any pathological finding.

[Giant adrenal myelolipoma].

Objective: We report a case of a giant myelolipoma of the adrenal gland

Methods/results: A case of a giant myelolipoma of the adrenal gland, an uncommon non-functioning tumour of the adrenal cortex comprised of haematopoietic and adipose tissue, that had been detected incidentally during evaluation with CT because of its characteristic fatty composition. The clinical features, diagnosis and treatment are discussed.
