[Hydatid cyst of the pancreas. Apropos of 2 cases].

Two new cases of pancreatic hydatidosis are reported. The diagnosis of a cystic lesion of the pancreas has been easily established owing to the modern imaging techniques, especially to computed tomography. The hydatid nature has also been recognized before surgery on the basis of the epidemiological data, the existence of a calcified shell in one case, and positive serology in the other. Retrograde endoscopic cholangiowirsungography allowed specifying the relationships between the cyst and the pancreatic duct in one case. The treatment consisted in the resection of the protruding dome and in total cystectomy. There were no postoperative complications. The preoperative diagnosis of the lesion must no longer be regarded as difficult. The treatment does not raise any specific difficulties when there is no fistula into the pancreatic duct. Retrograde endoscopic cholangiowirsungography is a good means of recognizing a possible fistula and makes a scheduled surgical treatment possible.

[Endosalpingosis: apropos of a case of colonic localization].

The endosalpingosis is a benign affection which is in the most often asymptomatic. It means the presence of tubal mucosa in ectopic location; often in the tubal wall; the pelvic peritoneal and adjacent lymph node. We present here a colic endosalpingosis case with intestinal occlusion. We review in this purpose the literature, and discuss the etiopathogenicity. It shows that a previously tubal affection can have a great part in the birth of this pathology.

Colonic Diseases

[Fibro-inflammatory polyposis of the stomach: apropos of a case].

The stomach fibro-inflammatory-polyp is distinguished from the eosinophilic granuloma by some authors because of their geographic assessments. It is an inflammatory affection represented by a pseudo tumoral lesion. We present a case concerning a woman, 62 years old, who presented since 10 years a Biermer anaemia; a neoplastic affection was suspected, and then denied by histopathologic exam. We shall discuss the pathogenic and therapeutic data proposed by the literature. Recently, the treatment of this benign lesion consists in endoscopic resection. There no recurrence or malignant degeneration.
