Nowadays, the histopathological study of surgical specimens is an essential part of the diagnostic work-up in aortic disease, and not only in characterizing the neoplastic forms. Despite increasing clinico-therapeutic complexity of aortic pathology, the criteria for histopathological diagnosis have not been properly updated over the years, with the result that we find inconsistent terminology and little standardization of diagnostic criteria. In light of this consideration, the SIAPeC-IAP Study Group of "Cardiovascular Pathology", in collaboration with the Association for Italian Cardiovascular Pathology, has created this consensus document, with the aim of defining the features of histopathological substrates in the main non-neoplastic aortopathies (atherosclerotic, "degenerative"/non inflammatory, and inflammatory) and of systematizing diagnostic criteria even for the rare tumours of the aorta and pulmonary artery.

They describe the anatomy of the anterolateral abdominal wall and the etiopathogenetic factors of this rare type of hernia. The clinical features of the disease are discussed and the diagnostic usefulness of a thorough physical examination is stressed, as is the value of imaging procedures when the hernia is not evident.

In order to analyze the clinical and therapeutic features of chronic hepatosplenic abscesses, and to define the diagnostic yield of new molecular techniques, we describe seven cases, four hepatic and three splenic, of this uncommon complication of Brucellosis. Onset of symptoms in all cases was insidious and the diagnostic delay considerable. Abdominal CT scan showed large, poorly defined lesions, with heterogeneous attenuation and thick central calcifications surrounded by hypointense areas.

The authors report a case of Richter's hernia. They underline main clinical and therapeutic patterns, emphasizing the need of an early diagnosis and surgery. This is a hernia of abdominal wall with partial entrapment of bowel wall (antimesenteric site) through a small ring.

The Authors report a case of renal hemangiopericytoma, whose interest is related to the extreme rarity (24 cases reported until today), its insidious growth, the late in diagnosis, its uncertain clinical-biological evolution, not always predictable. Considering chemotherapy and radiotherapy ineffectiveness, an adequate treatment for such a neoplasm requires the surgical therapy, which must be followed by a careful follow-up.
