Pancreatic leiomyoma is rare. We report a new case in a 52-year old man. A tumor of the pancreatic head was diagnosed after a primary diabetic decompensation. No precise diagnosis was obtained with additional tests. Although the condition appeared to be benign, a diagnostic and therapeutic Whipple procedure was performed.
We report an anal metastasis from a lung cancer which was diagnosed on symptoms mimicking an acute anal abcess. The diagnosis was based on specific immunohistochemistry.

A 63-year-old man with genetic haemochromatosis underwent resection of a cholangiocarcinoma that developed in von Meyenburg complexes; the liver was not cirrhotic. Patients with an association of genetic haemochromatosis and von Meyenburg complexes might have a predisposition to cholangiocarcinoma, even before cirrhosis occurs. Patients with this association should undergo regular and early hepatic surveillance of hemochromatosis.
The field of application for endoscopic hemoclips has been increasingly extended, especially thanks to improvements in clips and additional clinical indications. Hemoclips are used more frequently for upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding and sometimes after therapeutic endoscopy. We report the successful use of endoscopic hemoclips in the management of two cases of postoperative colonic haemorrhage.
