[Biliary tract carcinoma. Case report].

Carcinoma of the main biliary way is a condition that often leads to a fatal outcome owing to the rapid growth and late onset of the symptoms. The importance of a correct, timely diagnosis is stressed, with reference to a clinical case in which even CT scanning did not confirm either the presence of the neoformation or the dilation of the intra and extrahepatic bile ways. The usefulness of humoral markers for the diagnosis of the disease in its preclinical phase in the interests of surgical treatment that is as radical as possible is underlined.

[The thyroidectomized follow-up].

Thyroid neoplasties are largely benign, and only 1% of all over malignant neoplasties with clinical diagnosis regard the thyroid. The histologic characteristics of the thyroid neoplasties assume fundamental importance both in diagnosis and in therapy. The authors underline the importance of the surgical treatment of malignant neoplasties of the thyroid with the problems connected to the choice of the entity of the demolition of the organ and the post-operative thyrohyoid residue and the importance of the correct follow-up for few patients, consenting to optmize the available resources.

[Early gastric cancer. The therapeutic options].

The best therapeutic treatments for early gastric cancer are evaluated. Due to the difficulty of preoperative and intraoperative staging, it's reasonable to consider early gastric cancer as a composite disease; while some mucous localizations can benefit of minor therapeutic treatments, the submucous cancer must be treated as the parietal gastric cancer.

[The laparoscopic approach to the polycystic liver and adnexal cysts].

Having re-examined the nosographic data acquired on the subject of hepatic polycystosis and uterine adnexal cysts, the authors report the results of their experience. On the basis of the evaluation of these results (no laparotomic conversion, no postoperative complications, reduced hospital stay), which are comparable to those reported in the literature, the authors conclude that the modern technology may be used to advantage in all cases where laparoscopic surgery is not difficult, does not require numerous tests and does not entail a high risk of complications.

[Heredity and colorectal cancer].

The authors underline the role of inheritance in colorectal cancer and reporting the genealogical study of two families with high incidence of colorectal cancers personally observed. They thought that the genetic endowment (oncogenes, suppressor genes, microsatellite instability, protein-kinase C) was implicated directly in the genesis of disease.

[Pseudomyxoma peritonei with appendiceal and ovarian mucinous cystadenoma. A case report. Correlations with synchronous or metachronous colorectal carcinomas].

Mucocele is a rare pathology which is difficult to diagnose prior to surgery. The clinical symptoms are aspecific. Diagnosis is generally made at the time of surgery. Explorative laparoscopy is not advised owing to the possibility of encouraging metastatic diffusion. Surgery associated with ex tempore freezer tests must be carried out with the greatest caution to avoid rupture of organs and the spread of mucin. Appendectomy and removal of the adnexa is recommended in benign forms, with or without omentectomy. Omentectomy is necessary together with hystero-adnexectomy and right hemicolectomy in malignant forms, as well as lymph node cleaning and removal of all mucin in pseudomyxoma peritonei.

[Ileal invaginations caused by Peutz-Jeghers polyposis].

The Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is considered a familial polyposis syndrome. The polyps are of hamartomatous type. The symptomatology is due to the more voluminous polyps which can necrotize, ulcerate, bleed and cause intussusception and intestinal obstruction. A case of ileum-ileal intussusception due to Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is reported. The utility of a genealogic research is underlined and the recent results of the genetic research are evaluated. The surgical therapy of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome can have many aims: 1) to remove all big polyps, 2) to avoid the danger of canceration, 3) to prevent the hemorrhagic or occlusive risks and complications.

[Breast carcinoma in pregnancy: a clinical case].

Breast cancer is a rare, but frequently hidden pathology. A woman, 36 years old, during the early months of pregnancy found a little tumor in her right breast. A fine needle biopsy was negative for cancer. Despite this, the tumor rose and two months after delivery (the patient breast-fed her daughter for a month), she had pain in the right axillary region and the tumors involved all superior dials of the right breast. A Madden mastectomy was performed. The histopathological report was: ductal invasive breast cancer 3 of 19 lymph nodes involved, stage IIIA, TNM pT3N2M0, ER -, PgR +--. Chemotherapeutic regimens were: at first ADM 75 mg/m2 for 5 cycles, and after CMF 1-8 for 6 cycles. After six months the woman had a cutaneous recurrence in the scar of mastectomy, treated with surgery and RT. Thirteen months after, she had lung MTS and then brain MTS. The patient died thirty months after the mastectomy. The surgeons have to discover the women high-risk for the breast cancer before and during the pregnancy. Excisional biopsy is the diagnostic procedure of choice for breast lump during pregnancy. When a breast cancer develops during a pregnancy, the surgeon has to operate immediately the tumors. Chemotherapeutic regimens should be delayed until the second o third trimester or after delivery.
