[Multiple diverticulosis of the small intestine].

A case of jejunum-ileum multiple diverticulosis observed during a cholecystectomy due to cholelithiasis, is reported. Stress is laid on this unusual localization of diverticulosis in the small intestine. The clinical picture can be silent or present an acute or chronic symptomatology and radical surgical treatment can performed or not. When the disease involves all the intestine, without presenting serious inflammatory phenomena and without clinical symptoms (as in the case observed), medical and not surgical treatment can be envisaged.

[Hepatic echinococcosis. Surgical treatment].

After some general observations on liver echinococcosis (epidemiology, liver topographic anatomy, diagnostics), various surgical techniques proposed for the treatment of this disease are described. Case series observed from 1967 to 1978 and the technique of choice, cystotomy with partial cysto-resection, are presented. The favourable results obtained are underlined.

[Surgery of malignant neoplasms of the esophagus].

A series of malignant cancers of the oesophagus operated in the period 1968-1978 is reported. The importance of preoperative denutrition is considered and the various nutritional techniques are outlined, with a note on their advantages and defects. Right intrathoracic oesophagogastroplasty carried out in malignant cancers of the middle third of the oesophagus is particularly discussed. This surgical technique is held to be preferable to intestinal transpositions in substitution of the oesophagus, and the results obtained in this series support the opinion.

[Aberrant pancreas in gastric site].

The conclusions contained in recent and past literature regarding the heterotopic pancreas are reviewed. A case of accessory pancreas located in the stomach, whose clinical, radiological and endoscopic aspects simulated a carcinomatous process, is reported. The case is studied anatomo-pathologically and important aspects, including surgical, noted.

[Hepatic artery aneurysm as a cause of hemobilia].

1) Haemobilia must be kept in mind as a cause of gastrointestinal haemorrage. 2) The presence of an hepatic artery aneurysm gives a peculiar triad of symptoms: abdominal pain, gastrointestinal haemorrage and jaundice. 3) Selective angiography is the elective diagnostic aid. 4) The diagnosis may be difficult also at operation, because the aneurysms can be very small. 5) The most used surgical treatment are ligation of the hepatic artery, the excision of aneurism, the endoaneurysmorrhaphy or the end-to-end anastomosis.

[Clinical considerations on retroperitoneal liposarcoma. Report of 2 cases].

Liposarcoma is one of the more common tumours of the soft retroperitoneal tissues. It usually occurs in aged subjects and displays a marked contrast between its malignant histological picture and its protracted, poorly symptomatic clinical picture. Eventually, compression or invasion of nearby organs appears, whereas the patient's general condition is not affected. Two personal cases are described.

[Ectopic pancreas in the duodenum].

Aberrant pancreas to the duodenal site is a by no means simple problem of diagnosis as it is only rarely that X-ray, gastroscopy or biopsy suggest it. The case of aberrant pancreas in the duodenum, simulating a peptic lesion, is reported. Following an anatomo-pathological study, the typical aspects of the case are stressed.

[Carcinomas of the small intestine].

Two cases of carcinoma of the small intestine are described. In spite of its large epithelial surface, this organ is rarely a cancer site. For these reason, an account is given of cases observed over the previous year. In addition, mention is made of the pathological anatomy, symptomatology, preoperative investigation, and treatment of this form.

[Cholecystosis].

Cholecystosis conditions include those diseases of the gallbladder whose aetiopathogenesis is to be sought in a hyperplasia of the tissues making up the cholecystic wall (hyperplastic forms) and in an overload of this wall on the part of organic substances or minerals such as lipides or calcium salts (thesaurismosic forms). After discussing the classification, pathological anatomy, aetiopathogenesis, frequency, symptomatology, laboratory and radiological examinations, prognosis complications and treatment of these conditions, a personal series of 36 surgically treated cholecystoses is reported.
