Pancreatic pseudocyst extended to the mediastinum. Case report We report a 53 years old male consulting for chest pain and dyspnea. On physical examination, an epigastric mass was detected. A TC scan showed a collection located in the omental bursa, which protruded over the posterior gastric wall and ascended to the mediastinum. Due to the presence of pancreatic calcifi cations, a pancreatic pseudocyst was suspected. The mediastinal cyst was drained percutaneously, leaving pig tail drainage in the cavity. Afterwards a cyst excision and Roux en Y gastrostomy was performed. After the surgical procedure the cyst became infected, requiring antimicrobials. After two weeks he was discharged in good conditions.

Treatment of the primary hiperparatiroidism by minimally invasive boardingThe unilateral boarding of the primary hiperparatiroidism constitutes a technical option increasingly secondhand and adapted for the characteristics of this surgery. This type of boarding has been possible for the appearance of the Tc sestamibi, of the subspecialization of the surgery and of the determination of the PTH intraoperatory. Later we expose an epidemiological, descriptive and retrospective study from january 2004 to december 2008. During this time there were controlled in the hospital Ramon and Cajal of Madrid a total of 195 patients for primary hiperparatiroidism. Of them, 140 were submitted to unilateral exploration by suspicion of the solitary adenoma. The correlation between the fi ndings of Tc sestamibi and surgical was correct in all the cases (139) except one concerns to right or left side. It failed in 30 cases in which there was detected badly the top and low location. As for the results the adenoma was extirpated correctly in 135 of 140 patients. This way we can say that the combination of the gammagraphy, a surgeon with experience and the support of the PTH intraoperatory they meet a high rate of treatment in case of adenomas in the unilateral boarding on a rate of hipercalcemia appellant or persistently between 3%-5%, rate similar to the obtained one for expert surgeons on having fulfi lled an exploratory cervicotomy (considered "gold standard") but with minor postoperatory morbidity, minor pain and minor surgical time.Key words: Primary hiperparatiroidism, unilateral boarding. ResumenEl abordaje unilateral del hiperparatiroidismo primario constituye una opción técnica cada vez más usada y apropiada debido a las características de esta cirugía. Este tipo de abordaje ha sido posible por la aparición del Tc sestamibi, de la subespecialización de la cirugía y de la determinación de la PTH intraoperatoria. A continuación exponemos un estudio epidemiológico, descriptivo y retrospectivo desde enero de 2004 a diciembre de 2008. Durante este tiempo fueron intervenidos en el hospital Ramón y Cajal de Madrid un total de 195 enfermos por hiperparatiroidismo primario. De ellos, 140 fueron sometidos a exploración unilateral por sospecha de adenoma único. La correlación entre los hallazgos gammagráfi cos y quirúrgicos fue correcta en todos los casos (139) menos uno en cuanto a lo que a lateralidad se refi ere. Falló en 30 casos en los que Rev.
