Carcinoma arising in a lung cyst.

Only a few reports on carcinoma arising in lung cysts exist. The literature is reviewed and one new case added, demonstrating the importance of establishing an exact diagnosis by surgery.

Adenocarcinoma↗

Horseshoe kidney and ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Ruptured aortic abdominal aneurysm associated with horseshoe kidney is seldom encountered. The surgical procedure is complicated by the overlying kidney and the frequent occurrence of multiple aberrant renal arteries, which may arise from the aneurysmic part or from adjacent arteries. One case successfully treated surgically is reported. Renal function declined during the early postoperative period, but returned to preoperative values within three weeks, and remained at pre-rupture levels for the next three months.

Aorta, Abdominal↗

Aortic-caval fistula from ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Four cases of spontaneous aorto-caval fistula are reported. All cases were successfully treated by suture of the fistula from the inside of the aortic aneurysm, which was replaced by a dacron graft. All patients are alive and well at follow up after one, three, four and twelve years, respectively. In one patient pulmonary and circulatory haemodynamics were recorded preoperatively as well as in the early and late postoperative period. Preoperative high pulmonary artery and capillary wedge pressures and cardiac output were rapidly reduced to almost normal values after the operation. An intrapulmonary shunt fraction of 58 % preoperatively was reduced to 15 % shortly after closure of the fistula. Possible mechanisms causing the high pulmonary shunt fraction are discussed.
