Discussion: the case is presented considering the morbidity associated with his natural medical record and the surgical treatment joined to the limited consensus in regards to the management.
Conclusions: the imaging studies were of great value in terms of the diagnostic approach. The case presented helps to visualize the necessary systematic review of the subject by all the disciplines involved in the care for this type of entity.
