The objective of this study was to illustrate the diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of renal haematomas based on 3 cases observed in the Casablanca urology department and a review of the literature. In 50% of cases, the haematoma is secondary to adenocarcinoma or angiomyolipoma, requiring specific treatment.

Ganglioneuroma is a rare tumour in adults. We report the case of a 26-year-old woman admitted in our department with right renal colic. Ultrasonography and computed tomography showed a heterogeneous retroperitoneal mass measuring 8 x 7 cm in diameter and displacing the ureteropelvic junction and right kidney anteriorly and laterally. The preoperative diagnosis was retroperitoneal tumour. Surgical exploration revealed a totally resectable retroperitoneal tumour with a histological diagnosis of ganglioneuroma.

Mucocele of the appendix is a rare lesion. Rupture of appendicular mucocele into the psoas is uncommon. We report a case of a 77-year-old man, with psoas tumor on abdominopelvic ultrasonography and computed tomography. The preoperative diagnosis was type III hydatid cyst of the psoas, psoas tumor or retroperitoneal mass. Surgical exploration revealed an appendicular mucocele ruptured into the psoas. Appendicectomy was performed with an uneventful postoperative course after 3 years. The authors discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic problems raised by this rare lesion.
