Radiol Bras 2009;42(3):199-201 - CASE REPORT
Aneurysms in the splenoportomesenteric system constitute a rare entity whose etiology is still to be determined. Predisponent factors include portal hypertension, chronic hepatic disease and trauma, among others. The authors present a case of an aneurysm at the splenomesenteric confluence where it joins the portal vein, in a female, 62-year-old patient with no predisponent factor.

Dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica is a rare benign disease (incidence 1:1,000,000), characterized by an osteochondral overgrowth affecting one or more epiphyses. Generally, the age of onset is between two and 14 years. The characteristic imaging findings are sufficient for the diagnosis. Surgical excision of the lesion is only indicated in cases where a functional limitation is present.
