[Disappearing bone disease of the shoulder (Gorham-Stout Syndrom)].

The spontaneous disappearance of a segment of bone in a short period without the existence of a tumoral disease that justifies it is an exceptional event. We report the case of an older adult in whom the upper epiphysis of the right humerus and part of the acromion disappeared in a period of 3 weeks in the absence of a malignant tumor. Bone biopsy revealed osteoclasts, lymphatic vessels, and blood vessels.

[Mesenteric angina: infrequent cause of chronic pain in hemodialysis patient].

We report a 73 years old male undergoing chronic hemodialysis with a history of seven years of abdominal pain and weight loss. A mesenteric angiography disclosed a critical stenosis of the celiac artery and a partial stenosis of the superior mesenteric artery. Other causes of abdominal pain were excluded.
