[Primary hyperaldosteronism caused by monolateral adrenal hyperplasia].

We have reported two patients with unilateral adrenal hyperplasia as a rare cause of primary aldosteronism, and discussed the literature on this subject. When diagnosed by NMR-CT imaging and selective sampling from adrenal veins, the treatment of this disorder appears to be surgical. Whether its pathogenesis is related to the more common varieties of primary aldosteronism is open to speculation according to metabolic findings.

[Non visible carcinoma of the gallbladder. A strategic problem after video laparoscopic cholecystectomy].

A formal contraindication to laparoscopic cholecystectomy is gallbladder cancer. Sometimes its first appearance is intraoperative finding or microscopic examination of gallbladder removed for presumed benign disease. These patients with "inapparent carcinoma" may be long-term survivors if definitive and curative therapy is performed. We present the case of 56 y. woman which presented a T2 unsuspected carcinoma that was reoperated and cured by wedge liver resection, extended lymph node dissection and large excision of tissue of trocar wounds.
