[Inflammatory pseudotumor of the liver and the spleen].

Inflammatory pseudotumor is rare benign lesion ad uncommon is a multiple localization of the liver and spleen. We report a case of inflammatory pseudotumor of the liver associated with an other lesion in the spleen, a 53-years-old ma in which we observed the evolution of clinical picture. Making the diagnosis is often difficult, despite the use of the modern imaging and laboratories techniques, and generally these masses often confuse with others lesions, such as primary or secondary neoplasm, because the clinical presentation and morphological appearance are often unspecific. The medical treatment seems to be more appropriate for patients when it is possible make a correct diagnosis with a biopsy of the lesion. In the other cases, the surgical procedure is the best treatment that must be supported by histologic examination.

[Familial polyposis].

The F.A.P. is an hereditary disease autosomic dominant, characterized by the growth, from a minimum of 100 to several thousands, of adenoma of the large bowel that degenerate in carcinoma if not intervene surgically. The gene of the F.A.P. has been founded in the chromosome 5, region 5q 21-q22. The incidence is of one case above 6,850-30,000 inhabitants. The F.A.P. characterize it self besides the adenoma, of the large bowel also for the extracolic diseases (adenoma of the small bowel and of the stomach, epidermoid cysts, osteomas, dermoid tumors, congenital hypertrophy of the pigmentary epithelium of the retina). The Authors report their experience concerning a patient with F.A.P.: a man of 40 years old. The patient's genealogic tree was so composed: a brother, a sister and 2 children (a boy of 9 years old and a girl of 6 years old). They have been exposed to the following screening examinations: hemoccult test, rectal exploration, coloscopy and oculist visit). These investigations have given negative results.
