These findings emphasize the limited role of clinical assessment in establishing a definite diagnosis of renal vasculitis and put in question its value in retrospective analysis of causes of ESRD in different populations.

Objectives: To describe a rare case of primary carcinoid tumor of the liver and its management. Clinical Presentation and Interventions: A 44-year-old Nigerian male presented with a big inoperable liver mass, which proved to be a carcinoid tumor by fine needle aspiration cytology. Extensive search for a primary lesion including laparotomy and peroperative ultrasound failed to find a primary lesion in the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas. Percutaneous embolization of the tumor followed by complete dearterializations of the liver seemed to have halted the growth of the tumor. The patient remained well with normal liver function tests for 56 months when he decided to go back to his country. Conclusion: The result showed that dearterializations of a primary inoperable carcinoid of the liver offered good palliation.

A case of a giant bleeding renal angiomyolipoma is presented. The patient was a 40-year-old Egyptian male with no clinical or radiological evidence of tuberous sclerosis. The radiological features and management, including the role of angiography are briefly discussed and the medical reviews on this subject are briefly considered.
