[Percutaneous alcohol injection of hepatic tumors using ultrasonic guidance: a new therapeutic approach].

Ultrasound guided percutaneous alcoholization of the liver has been carried out using a large volume of alcohol (usually 20 to 30 ml) with no adverse reaction and its efficacy was perceptible after about 6 sessions. The best results were achieved in hepatocarcinomas in a context of Child A cirrhosis (6 out 6 lesion became negative). In hepatocarcinoma in a context of Child B and C cirrhosis and in hepatic metastases, the outcome depends on the initial disorder.

[Diverticulosis of the distal end of the choledochus demonstrated by retrograde endoscopic cholangiopancreatography. Apropos of 5 case reports].

We report on 5 observations (3 females, 2 males, mean age 66 years) of diverticula located on the left side of the distal end of the choledochus, demonstrated by ERCP. No specific symptom due to the diverticula could be found. The pathogenesis of the diverticula of the choledochus is unclear: congenital lesion for most authors, or acquired lesion secondary to reflux of pancreatic juice for others. We propose a hypothesis based on data from manometry of the sphincter of Oddi. The diverticula located above the sphincter of Oddi on a passive segment of the biliary tree could be congenital whereas the diverticula of the high pressure zone (just above the papillary orifice) might be acquired.

Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the pancreas. Ultrasonographic findings in 5 cases.

The ultrasonographic findings in 5 patients (4 males, 1 female, mean age 70 years) presenting with mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the pancreas are described. The lesion was located in the head and body of the pancreas in 2 cases, in the head alone in 2 others, and in the tail in one. The size ranged from 40 to 85 mm (mean 64 mm). Internal septa were seen in 5 patients, endocystic proliferation in 2, parietal calcifications in 1 and mixed cystic-solid areas in 3. The estimation of CEA in the fluid collected by sonographic guided puncture may be useful in diagnosis. Guided microbiopsy and fine needle cytology performed in 3 cases confirmed the diagnosis. Moreover, ultrasonography clearly showed the modifications of the vessels (splenic and portal veins, inferior vena cava) secondary to the tumor. It is concluded that ultrasonography with guided puncture is a simple, inexpensive and effective method for the diagnosis of mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the pancreas.
