[Malignant peritoneal pseudomyxoma. A case report].

A case of malignant pseudomyxoma peritonei is described. This rare entity is characterized by widespread dissemination throughout the abdominal cavity and low grade of malignancy. General well-being is usually unimpaired. Diagnosis can be suggested by computed tomographic appearance; the course of action, however, is ultimately determined by the operative findings. The best treatment has been tumour excision, although the extent of this procedure is not well defined.

[Carcinoid of Meckel's diverticulum. Report of a case and review of the literature].

The presence of carcinoid tumor in a Meckel's diverticulum is a rare entity. This report describes a 56-year-old man who was admitted to hospital with symptomatic gallbladder stones. At laparotomy the gallstones were confirmed and routine exploration of the peritoneal cavity identified a small bowel diverticulum about 60 cm of the ileocecal valve. Cholecystectomy and resection of a small bowel segment containing the diverticulum were performed. Histology revealed carcinoid tumour in Meckel's diverticulum.

[Annular pancreas. Report of a case and review of the literature].

The authors present a case of newborn pre-term with birthweight of 2,250 g. There was polyhydramnios. On the first day she developed jaundice suggested upper intestinal obstruction. A plain radiograph of the abdomen confirmed the previous finding of obstruction of the duodenum, which showed a "double bubble" image with no other gas shadow in the rest of the abdomen. Contrast rodiologic examination of the abdomen confirmed total obstruction of the duodenum second portion. On the 2nd day after birth, laparotomy revealed an annular pancreas. The reconstruction was made by a side-to-side proximal duodeno-jejuno-anastomosis. The postoperative course was uneventful. Barium radiography at one month postoperatively was good.
