We report a 40-year-old woman with retroperitoneal multiple cystic lymphangioma. Multiple cystic lesions were found on both sides of the aorta in the retroperitoneal and right pelvic spaces. These thin-walled cysts gradually increased in size leading to left hydronephrosis and dilatation of the

In a 68-year-old male hospitalized for a traffic accident physical examination revealed a left tibial fracture and an asymptomatic left pleural effusion. The evolution was characterized essentially by the appearance of oedema of the legs, ascites, and aggravation of the left pleural effusion with

Storage of cholesterol, cholesterol esters, and triglycerides with distribution in different organs is characteristical in 5 distinguishable familiary thesaurismoses. Cholesterol storage disease is due to relatively benign storage of cholesterol esters predominantly in the liver with gross

Lipid droplets isolated from rabbit renal medullary tissue were analyzed and found to be composed of triglyceride and free fatty acids in a ratio of 2.9:1. These triglycerides were unique when compared to triglycerides of other rabbit tissues examined, in that they contained high percentages of

Ultrasonographically-guided renal cyst puncture was done in 128 patients on outpatient basis. Cortical renal cysts were seen in both male and female patients in an equal ratio. Mean age was 59.6 years. Complication rate of percutaneous puncture was low. Only twice transient haematuria was observed,

Chyloretroperitoneum is a rare complication of urological surgery. Here we report a case of chyloretroperitoneum that occurred in a 28-year-old man post living-donor transplantation. Twenty-nine days post transplantation, perirenal fluid collection and hydronephrosis were detected and percutaneous
