[Treatment of leg ulcers with fibrin glue].

The work is based on two years studied cases. It consists of 80 patients between 35 and 80 years old with leg ulcers (73.8% women and 26.2% men). In 80% of patients this affection is due to a venous disease. In 10% of cases the cause was an arterial insufficiency of the lower extremity. Lymphatic and extravascular diseases are rarely involved. A group of 54 patients was treated with a traditional method. In the remaining 26 patients we used fibrin glue. Leg ulcers are an evolutive chronic pathology characterized by slow recovery. This means expensive social and therapeutic costs. From this point of view the treatment with fibrin glue, weekly applied, besides reducing pain, has a favourable impact on the outcome, times of re-epithelialization are shortened.

[Primary lymphoma of the breast].

Analysis of 5 cases of primary breast lymphoma highlights the marked rarity of the lesion and the extreme difficulty of pre-operative diagnosis. It is also shown that the disease generally runs a rapid course and that prognosis is usually unfavourable. The most effective treatment appears to be a combination of surgery and radiation therapy, while chemotherapy--although widely used--still requires further confirmation.

[Lymphangioma of the spleen. Apropos of 2 cases].

On the basis of two observed cases and a review of the literature, the extreme rarity of cystic lymphangioma of the spleen is pointed out. The presumed pathogenesis of the condition is described as are its greater frequency among the young, the possibility of dangerous complications and its non-malignity. The superiority of non-invasive instrumental diagnosis (echotomography and CAT) over traditional techniques is reported. Finally splenectomy is identified as the therapy of choice.

[Minor pancreatitis after a Billroth II gastric resection for gastroduodenal ulcer].

Pancreatic complications arising after 117 Billroth II gastric resections carried out between 1976 and 1980 are evaluated. Changes in blood and urinary amylase were noted in 35% of cases. A distinction is drawn between minor forms (MPOP), and major forms (APOP), with an incidence of 34% and 1% respectively. Lastly, the question of aetiopathogenesis is discussed, with particular reference to the causal factors observed on each occasion.
