[Cavernous hemangioma of the spleen. Apropos of a case].

This report presents the spectrum of radiologic findings in a case of cavernous haemangioma of the spleen. Certain sonographic findings, echogenic mass surrounded by a rim of hypoechogenic splenic tissue, were suggestive of this tumor. Computed tomography and delayed-phase angiograms were non specific.

Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy with subcutaneous access and the use of Gianturco stents for the management of biliary tract strictures.

The need to control recurrent biliary strictures implies the practice of repeated major surgical procedures. The hepaticojejunostomy with subcutaneous jejunal access (Chen's procedure) allows the permanent option of a non-operative management of recurrent biliary tract anastomosis complications. Through the subcutaneous jejunal access, the application of a Gianturco metallic prosthesis is permitted and the correction of biliary-intestinal anastomosis strictures with non-operative methods is possible. This report is a review of a series of 20 patients treated with the Chen procedure, of whom 3 patients also had implantation of Gianturco stents via hepaticojejunostomy with subcutaneous access.
