[A case of leiomyosarcoma of the small intestine. Clinical and anatomopathologic considerations].

Leiomyosarcoma of the small intestine is a malignant mesenchymal tumour composed of smooth muscle cells from the muscular coat or, rarely, from muscularis mucosae, which in the majority of cases is characterised by a clinically silent development and by an unfavorable prognosis. The considerable difficulty of obtaining a histological definition of the degree of malignancy of the leiomyosarcoma is also typical. The paper reports a clinical case and summarises its main clinical and anatomopathological aspects. In particular, the difficulties of clinical and histological diagnosis of the degree of malignancy are underlined, together with the fact that these have a considerable influence on the possibilities and results of surgical therapy and survival rates.

[Treatment of recurrent or residual calculosis of the choledochus. A comparison of the technics].

The results of treating residual or recurrent calculosis of the choledochus for the purpose of obtaining elements for deciding whether or not to carry out a given operation in a particular group of patients are reported. Although they do not offer elements of certainty, the results still make it possible to arrive at an indication for endoscopic papillotomy in elderly patients in poor general condition with one or a few calculi and non-dilated choledochus, for choledochotomy in patients with choledochus of normal diameter and with multiple calculi, or for an intervention of biliodigestive drainage (particularly choledochojejunostomy) in patients with multiple calculosis and with dilated choledochus. In cases in which the apparatus of Oddi is the site of an irreversible inflammatory process and has lost its function, transduodenal papillosphincterotomy is justified.

[Results of endoscopic treatment of choledochal calculosis and cicatricial stenosis of the papilla].

The results obtained with endoscopic papillo-sphincterotomy in the treatment of gallstones and cicatricial stenosis of the papilla are reported. The treatment proved effective in 91.3% of patients with papillary stenosis and the incidence of side-effects (cholangitis, pancreatitis, bleeding, perforation) was 7.5%. Endoscopic PST hitherto restricted to cases judge inoperable due to serious concomitant pathologies may be a valid alternative to surgery wherever total sphincter dysfunction can be ascertained.

[A case of leiomyoblastoma of the stomach. Clinical and anatomopathologic considerations].

Gastric leiomyoblastoma or Martin's myoid tumour or Stout's smooth muscle cell bizarre tumour is a rare benign mesenchymal neoplasia that may become malignant. A personal clinical case is reported and the most important anatomopathological and clinical aspects are reviewed, stress being laid on the importance of identifying the macroscopic and histological features that can point with certainty to malignity and so influence the choice of surgery. This, depending on the situation, may tumorectomy, gastric resection or gastrectomy with exeresis of any metastases.

[Conservative treatment of simple, uncomplicated diverticulitis. Preliminary study for evaluating the effectiveness of a method of topical therapy: rectal perfusion].

Transit times and distribution modalities of an oily mixture used as a vehicle for drugs administered by rectal perfusion in topical therapy in patients with uncomplicated diverticulitis of the colon have been examined. X-ray study makes it possible to state that the technique is mainly indicated in descending colon and sigmoid localisations, segments in which the oily mixture distributes homogeneously and massively in all patients treated.

[Treatment of perforated duodenal ulcer. Our experience].

Personal experience in the treatment of perforated duodenal ulcers is reported. The 78 patients concerned were divided into two groups (operated on before or after the introduction of anti-HZ antihistamines) and were encountered between 1-1-1972 and 30-12-1986. The results were generally satisfactory: mortality (operative and postoperative) 5.1%; postoperative complications 6.4%; recurring ulceration 1-5 years after surgery 6.4%. The most successful operations (lowest death and complication rates, shortest hospital stay) were simple suturing and suturing combined with superselective vagotomy. Analysis of the results show that the success of the operation was significantly influenced by the following factors: patient's age and general condition, associated diseases, time of onset of the ulceration prior to perforation and above all the length of time between the perforation and the operation i.e. the presence or absence of peritonitis. Simple suturing should always be used where possible, particularly now we have the anti-H2 drugs. Superselective vagotomy combined with suturing is the definitive surgical treatment of choice and produced no deaths or complications in the 13 patients given this treatment.

[Treatment of short bowel syndrome].

On the basis of personal experience and the latest reports in the literature on the treatment of short bowel syndrome, the clinical and therapeutic aspects of the malabsorption syndrome arising after removal of long segments of the small intestine are analysed with emphasis on the salient features and particularly the critical phase constituted by the transfer from parenteral to enteral and oral nutrition whose importance for the maintenance of life is objectively confirmed by the adaptive response of the remaining small bowel (compensatory hypertrophy).

Lichenoid photocontact dermatitis to musk ambrette.

A patient is described with a pigmentary dermatitis of the face with histological features of a lichenoid reaction, which proved to be a photocontact dermatitis to musk ambrette. Photopatch tests produced a pigmented dermatitis that reflected the clinical and histological features of a lichenoid reaction, which occurred 1 month after application.
