The authors report a series of 50 cases of rupture of the corpora cavernosa observed over a 20-year period. The patients had a mean age of 27 years (16-55 years). ⋯ All patients were treated surgically, with evacuation of the haematoma and suture of the tunica albuginea (48 cases), suture of the corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum (1 case), and fascia lata corporoplasty (1 case). A favourable course was observed in 30 cases, while 11 patients presented painful erection, and 9 patients developed induration and deviation of the penis.

The authors report a case of apparently isolated bilateral adrenal phaeochromocytoma in a 25-year-old man presenting with abdominal pain and neurosensory signs of HT, but ignored and complicated by heart failure. Ultrasonography and abdominal CT revealed a bilateral adrenal tumour. ⋯ Treatment consisted of right adrenalectomy and left tumour excision. The postoperative course was uneventful, and 3-year follow-up showed regression of the functional symptoms and control of blood pressure without any other treatment.
