[A case of compression of the common peroneal nerve due to an intraneural mucoid pseudocyst].
The Authors report a case of paralysis due to compression of the external common peroneal nerve by a mucoid pseudocyst. They emphasize the rareness of such lesion, as well as the importance of a prompt diagnosis and a conservative surgical treatment.

[Angiomyolipoma of the kidney].
Kidney angiomyolipoma, although it is a benign tumour, may originate serious complications, which can endanger the patient's life. After a reviewing of the literature, the Authors show a case they had the opportunity to observe, in which it was necessary to perform the emergency nephrectomy. In the last years the modern diagnostical techniques allowed to precociously diagnose angiomyolipoma in preclinical stage, what suggests new therapeutical strategic.

[Primary torsion of the greater omentum].
Omental torsion means a partial or total rotation of omentum around its main axis, which is called primary or secondary, depending upon the presence or absence of another associated abdominal lesion. Due to the objective rareness and absence of a typical symptomatology, the diagnosis often is neither made, nor considered preoperatively. The Authors present three cases that they the opportunity to observe. They point out that, in case of laparotomy for acute painful symptomatology of the lower abdominal quadrants, one should not forget the inspection of greater omentum.

[An unusual case of a stomal complication].
The Authors present a case, never reported till now, of stomal complication, and, after shortly reviewing the different colostomic complications, emphasize its rareness and hypothesize its pathogenesis.

[High-insertion choledochus].
A case of high-insertion choledochus is reported. The Authors, after a reviewing of the existing literature thereabout, describe the clinical and radiographic pictures whereby such lesion can appear. They emphasize the presence of this malformation requires particular attentions and changes in the surgical approach.
