Pancreatic cancer. Management.

Pancreatic cancer still represents a serious medical concern for which no adequate solution has thus far been found. Surgery is the only appropriate therapy, but has a survival rate of around 30-35% at three years, with an operative mortality below 3% and an operative morbidity approaching 10% of radically resected patients, all of which applies to surgery performed by expert teams in highly experienced sites.

Spontaneous gas gangrene is often associated with neoplasms among which hematologic and colon neoplasms are the most frequent.

[Mucinous cystadenoma of ileocecal appendix].

We present two patients with mucinous cystadenoma and mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the appendix, respectively. These are very uncommon lesions in that localization. We point out the lack of specificity of the term "mucocele" and also the need of strict criteria to define this type of lesions in order to establish the adequate treatment. Usually the diagnosis is not possible before surgery. The treatment consists of simple appendectomy for the benign lesions and right hemicolectomy for mucinous carcinoma.
