[Epidermoid carcinoma on Zenker's diverticulum].

Carcinoma is a rare but recognized complication of pharyngoesophageal diverticulum. We report the case of a 49-year-old man operated for a Zenker's diverticulum with an epidermoid carcinoma arising in the diverticulum. Since carcinoma is an uncommon complication of this pathology, we review the literature and discuss the therapeutic options.

[Survival in colorectal adenocarcinoma in Cantabria. A population-based study (1989)].

PURPOSE: To analyse a population-based study of postoperative mortality and five-year survival in patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma and to compare the results to those of a previous survival study of 1970-1978 period. METHODS: Using the Register of Colorectal Cancer of Cantabria, with a population of 531.654 inhabitants according to the 1989 census, we studied 187 patients with primary colorectal adenocarcinoma. Patients with recurrence after previous excision and who were not residents of Cantabria were excluded. Postoperative mortality included 30-days postoperative period. Survival was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test was used to compare curves of probability. RESULTS: Postoperative mortality was 7.7%. Overall five-year survival was 42.4%. Specific-cancer survival was 46%. Type of surgical procedure (curative or palliative) and TNM classification showed significant differences (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: In Cantabria the five-years survival rate in patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma is similar to published data from other population-based studies but the survival rate did not change over the last decade.

[Stomach volvulus in a female patient with chondrodysplasia punctata].

The case of an 11-year-old girl with a history of chondrodysplasia punctata is reported. She presented with a clinical picture of abdominal pain and vomiting. At surgical intervention an organo-axial gastric volvulus was found and a single derotation was performed. Three weeks after discharge the patient presented abdominal distension and vomiting. In a plain abdominal X-ray film a gastric dilation was appreciated and a new volvulus was detected by means of a contrast radiogram. The diagnosis was confirmed at surgery and a gastropexy was performed without volvulus relapse.
