Survival after a first episode of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. Prognosis of potential candidates for orthotopic liver transplantation.

To determine the potential role of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) in cirrhotic patients surviving a first episode of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP), medical records of 79 patients presenting with a first episode of SBP were reviewed. Of these patients, 37 were selected as potential candidates for OLT using the following criteria: absence of hepatocellular carcinoma; no severe organ failure other than the liver; age < or = 66 years; and survival after SBP > 60 days. Survival time was calculated from the day of SBP diagnosis. Prognostic value of clinical, biological and bacteriological data recorded at the time of SBP was determined using univariate and multivariate analysis (Cox's regression model). Survival rate of the potential candidates for OLT at 3 months, 1 year and 2 years was 94, 46 and 30% respectively. Serum creatinine value (P = 0.001) and Pugh score (P = 0.005) were independently correlated with death. The 1 year survival rate was 80% for the 11 patients with a Pugh score < 10, and 26% for the 26 patients with a Pugh score > or = 10. Our results suggest that after SBP, OLT should be considered in patients with severe liver disease. Survival of patients with a moderate liver disease (i.e. Pugh score < 10) might be relatively high.

[Leiomyoma of Meckel's diverticulum revealed by a digestive hemorrhage. Preoperative diagnosis by selective arteriography].

The authors report a case revealed by low digestive hemorrhage, and in the light of cases in the literature, discuss the various problems due to leiomyomas in Meckel's diverticulum. They emphasize particularly the risk of late diagnosis at the stage of leiomyosarcoma. As it is impossible to say afterwards whether a muscular tumour of the digestive tract is benign or not, it is important to make an early diagnosis. Arteriography is one of the best means.

[Endocrine component of exocrine pancreatic tumors. Apropos of 2 cases].

Two cases of pancreatic exocrine tumors with endocrine component are reported. The first case concerned a microcystic cystadenoma including an endocrine tumor identified by Grimelius staining and positive immunostaining for neurone specific enolase and the second a tubular adenocarcinoma including cells with positive immunostaining for glucagon and neurone specific enolase. The malignant nature of the endocrine component of both tumors which was certain for the first one and probable for the second whose endocrine component was distinct from the hyperplastic endocrine reaction observed at the periphery of the tumor, seems to support the hypothesis of exocrine and endocrine differentiation from a common precursor cell. The precise value of such a sub-group of pancreatic tumors with double component need to be clarified.
