Lipoma of the liver associated with hepatocellular carcinoma and polycystic liver disease.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: We report on a patient with lipoma of the liver associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and polycystic liver disease. METHODS: Clinical features of a patient with lipoma, HCC and polycystic liver disease are presented. A right liver lobectomy was performed. RESULTS: Histological examination revealed a poorly differentiated multicentric HCC, as well as bile duct cysts and an encapsulated tumor of adipose tissue. The postoperative course was uncomplicated. The patient died 4 years after surgery with local recurrence of HCC. CONCLUSION: We find the report to be of interest because of the unusual nature of this association and the low prevalence of lipoma of the liver. The association of liver polycystic disease with other types of tumor is discussed and the literature dealing with lipomas of the liver reviewed.

[Nonepithelial malignant degeneration of esophageal duplication].

A communicating duplication of the distal esophagus was diagnosed in an elderly patient. The lesion was removed and the connection with the esophageal lumen closed. A high grade leiomyosarcoma involving all duplication layers and the right pleural surface was demonstrated. This is the first reported instance of a nonepithelial malignant tumor in an alimentary tract duplication.

[Gas gangrene secondary to carcinoma of the colon].

Systemic infections due to enteric bacteria can develop in patients with occult intestinal tumours. A patient with a sigmoid adenocarcinoma that developed crepitation and necrosis of soft tissues in gluteous region and thigh of left lower limb is presented. No pus or free fluid was observed in the peritoneal cavity; a sigmoid tumor infiltrating and perforating the retroperitoneum with necrosis of the psoas muscle was found. The infection spread subsequently through the inguinal canals and sciatic foramen to the lower limb. Necrotizing infections of soft tissues without previous trauma or ischemic accident leads to the suspicion of an occult digestive disease.

[Massive lithiasis of the intra and extrahepatic bile ducts. Presentation of a clinical case].

A case of massive intra and extrahepatic lithiasis in a 52 year-old-man is presented. Diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasonography, CT and percutaneous cholangiography. The value of the different diagnostic procedures is analyzed. The need for elective surgical treatment is insisted on in order to remove the majority of the calculi, treatment of stenosis and adequate biliary drainage. Our case was treated with an hepatico-jejuno-duodenostomy (end to side) on an isolated jejunal loop with sphincteroplasty for drainage of the distal choledochus. In the postoperative period the patient was treated with Methyl-tert-butyl-ether for dissolution of the remaining calculi.
