[Role of total thyroidectomy in benign multinodular benign goiter].

The Authors report a review of the Literature and their personal series to evaluate the role of total thyroidectomy in the surgical management of non-toxic multinodular goiter. On the basis of the data obtained, the Authors consider total thyroidectomy the therapy of choice for this pathology.

[Ambulatory surgery of varices: our experience].

The Authors, on the basis of their experience with 196 patients aged from 18 to 45, affected by relapsing varicose veins, stress the advantages of the outpatient treatment according to Muller's technique. For these lesions excellent aesthetic and functional results, easy surgical technique, low incidence of complications, prompt resumption to work were registered.

[Infection of the vascular prosthesis. The diagnostic, preventive and treatment protocols: preliminary results].

A number of strategies for the management of vascular graft infections are described in literature. Nevertheless, this serious compliance is still burdened with high rates of morbidity and mortality. At the present the principal efforts are therefore directed towards prevention and early diagnosis. In this view, the authors propose their protocol of study, on the basis of the encouraging results till now obtained.

[Chronic periaortitis].

The authors, o the basis of a retrospective analysis of a series of 13 cases of chronic periaortitis, after a review of the literature about the subject, discuss about the most recent theories about pathogenesis, pathological anatomy, diagnosis and treatment of this condition. At first the authors stress the importance of adopting the term chronic periaortitis to describe any idiopathic fibrotic retroperitoneal process, as a consequence of the well established relationship between the atherosclerotic abdominal aorta an the development of this condition. Histological, immunohistochemical and immunological studies, consented to clarify the pathogenesis o the lesion. CT or MRI currently makes the diagnosis but histological confirmation is desiderable. Surgical therapy plays still a fundamental role in the management of chronic periaortitis, but the use of immunosuppressive drugs is to be considered extremely promising.

[Intermuscular and intramuscular lipomas of the neck].

Two cases of deep lipomas of the neck developed between the skeletal muscles were presented: one intermuscular and the other intramuscular. Taking into consideration the rarity of the case, the authors examined the clinical surgical aspect, paying special attention to the relationship between sonographic and computerized tomographic characteristics and the histological aspects in order to define whether the lipomatous tumors were benign or malignant. They also studied the localization of cervical lipomas, of lipoblastomas of hibernomas and of liposarcomas and defined an anatomo-clinical classification of both superficial and deep cervical lipomas.

[Anorectal neuroendocrine carcinoma: observations on a case and review of the literature].

Carcinoid tumours of the anorectum are rare (0.7% of malignant rectal tumours). Because of this rarity several aspects of the management of these tumours remain controversial. Diagnosis may be delayed because of failure to recognize their morphological characteristics and histological appearance may not reflect their biological behaviour. Immunocytochemistry for neuroendocrine-cells are essential to identify different types of carcinoid tumours and to do differential diagnosis from other malignant tumours. All that allow an exact therapeutic approach to these tumours. The tumours less than cm 1 in diameter can be safely treated by local excision; the tumours more than cm 1 in diameter are treated by radical surgery (AAP).

[Perianal Paget's disease: clinical observation and review of the literature].

The authors present a case of PPD, stressing the importance to distinguish "true" PPD from pagetoid spread, for correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment. This distinction is possible by using immunohistochemical stains, with particular regarding Ab-GCDFP-15, considered specific marker for Paget's cell.

[Squamous carcinoma of the anal canal and its variations. Personal experience and review of the literature].

Six cases of anal canal squamous carcinoma are presented. The authors precise the present view about pathological, epidemiological, clinical and therapeutical aspects of these lesions. They stress, also, the primary role of embryology and anatomy in the oncogenesis of such tumours; the importance to single out specific population at risk, absolutely different from the typical one for rectal adenocarcinoma and the role of chemoradiation therapy as treatment of choice of these neoplasms. Particular importance is given to modern histologic and histogenetic classification of these tumours, stressing the difficulties to distinguish the various histologic types.

[Pathology and clinical course of pancreatic pseudocyst].

According to the literature and the personal experience of the authors there seem to exist many controversies on the treatment of pancreatic pseudocysts, partly due to the lack of definitions and to the fact that prognosis is different based upon the pathophysiology of the lesions. We report 4 cases of pancreatic pseudocysts successfully treated with a multidisciplinary approach, stressing the role of pharmacology and of artificial nutrition and endoscopy on the outcome of these lesions.
