Review Case Reports
[Mucinous adenocarcinoma of the appendix associated with ovarian tumors and pseudomyxoma peritonei. The difficulty in differential diagnosis].
Mucinous adenocarcinoma of the appendix is rare. If there is a concomitant ovarian tumor to determine the primary might be difficult. Histological features are not always determinant, but there are some macroscopic findings that may suggest an origin in the appendix. ⋯ Findings on colonoscopy and biopsies were inconclusive. At laparotomy, the tumor compressed appendix, cecum and ascendant colon, terminal ileum, ovaries and peritoneum. Histopathological analysis demonstrated a well-differentiated mucinous adenocarcinoma of appendiceal origin with metastasis in ovaries and peritoneum (pseudomyxoma peritonei).

Review Case Reports
[Lobar emphysema due to bronchial atresia associated with a bronchogenic cyst].
We report a case of bronchial atresia in the apical segment of right down lobule associated to subcarinal bronchogenic cyst in an eighteen years old patient who consults by long time bronchitis. The thorax X-ray shows an image suggested of mucoid impaction. The respiratory function tests are not essential for the diagnostic. The fiber bronchoscopy is normal and the diagnostic is established by mean image technics (thoracic HR-TC and MR).
