RESUMEN
Enchondroma represents a common bone tumor of the hand. The scaphoid is a rare location. We report the case of a scaphoid enchondroma presenting as chronic wrist pain following a relatively minor trauma. The diagnosis was suggested by radiological study and then confirmed by histological study after biopsy. Enucleation and vascularized bone graft with osteosynthesis provided good results. The clinical, radiological and therapeutic aspects of this rare condition are discussed.

Gastrointestinal bleeding secondary to a rupture of an aneurysm of the hepatic artery is rare. We report a case of an 81-year-old man, who was admitted with hematemesis and melena. Gastroduodenoscopy revealed an abundant bleeding from the posterior wall of the duodenal bulb. CT-scan shoved an aneurysm arising from the hepatic artery. Ultrasound, computed tomography and angiography are the methods of choice for gastrointestinal bleeding diagnosis if endoscopy is inconclusive.
