Pheochromocytoma of the adrenal gland selectively secreting dopamine -- a case report.

Pheochromocytoma of the adrenal gland secreting catecholamines is a relatively rare endocrinological cause of secondary arterial hypertension, usually developing in people aged between 40 and 50, more often in women than in men. Each accidentally diagnosed lesion in adrenal glands is an incidentalom0a. Incidentalomas are most commonly benign tumours: adenomas, adipomas and angiomas; less often they are of a malignant or metastatic character.

Popliteal artery thrombosis secondary to a tibial osteochondroma.

Popliteal artery thrombosis may present as a complication of an osteochondroma located in the vicinity of the knee joint. This is a case report of a 26-year-old man with symptoms of the right lower extremity ischaemia without a previous history of vascular disease or trauma. Plain radiography, magnetic resonance angiography and Doppler ultrasonography documented the presence of an osteochondrous structure of the proximal tibial metaphysis, which displaced and compressed the popliteal artery, causing its occlusion due to intraluminal thrombosis.

[Aortic dissection - a rare complication of primary aldosteronism - a case report].

Primary aldosteronism is common cause of secondary hypertension. As a result of high blood pressure it can lead to severe complications, including aortic dissection. We would like to present a case of 40 year-old patient who had resistant hypertension despite administration of multiple drugs.

[Renal hypertension. A case report - therapeutic dilemmas].

Hypertension associated with fibromuscular dysplasia of renal artery is the most common form of secondary hypertension among young patients. In this article we present a case of a 27-year-old patient, with drug-resistant hypertension. Stenosis of right renal artery and small right kidney were found on ultrasonography, angio-CT and angiography.
