RESUMO
Myelolipomas are rare benign neoplasms that commonly develop in the adrenal glands. Less frequently, they can affect other organs such as the liver, stomach, liver, lung, and retroperitoneum. It affects more women, with an average age of around 61 years. Histologically, they are composed of mature adipose tissue and hematopoietic cells. With the evolution of immunohistochemistry, there are characteristics that can differentiate from malignant tumors such as liposarcomas. Its treatment remains based on surgical resection and long-term outpatient follow-up.
RESUMO
Situs inversus totalis is a congenital syndrome characterized by a total left-right transposition of all abdominal and thoracic organs. It may be associated with chronic respiratory conditions such as sinusitis and bronchiectasis, composing the Kartagener syndrome. If not detected, this condition may compromise the early diagnosis of surgical emergencies such as cholecystitis and appendicitis. A rare case of appendicitis in a patient with Kartagener syndrome is here reported.
