Review Case ReportsParaganglioma and adrenal pheochromocytoma presenting simultaneously in an elderly female. Case report and review of the literature.
Paragangliomas are chromaffin tissue tumors arising in an extra-adrenal location. It is quite rare to find a paraganglioma concurrently with a pheochromocytoma. We report a patient who underwent resection of a retroperitoneal mass that was characterized pathologically as a malignant paraganglioma. An incidental finding was a microscopic pheochromocytoma in the ipsilateral adrenal gland.

Case ReportsTransvesical placement of one limb of an aortobifemoral bypass graft as a complication of aortic bypass surgery.
We report about a rare complication after aortobifemoral bypass surgery. In the present case the left limb of an aortobifemoral bypass graft was placed straight through the cavity of the urinary bladder. The diagnosis was found and ascertained by colour duplex ultrasound examination, cystoskopy and angiography. In consequence, we successfully performed open bladder surgery to replace the misplaced graft.
