[Acute intrahepatic lithiasic cholecystitis. Apropos of a case].

Pre-operative diagnosis in a case of acute intrahepatic lithiasic cholecystitis was an intrahepatic cystic formation. Treatment was by cholecystectomy. A review of the published literature demonstrated that the usual pre-operative diagnosis in these cases was either a cystic formation or an intrahepatic tumor. When cholecystectomy is not possible, therapy involves extraction of all gallbladder stones and main biliary tract drainage.

[Vaginal fibromas (author's transl)].

The author describes the characteristics of vaginal fibromas, as observed in one personal case and after a rview of the published literature. These tumors, which affect women during the period of genital activity, are not of frequent occurrence, and the principal signs are dyspareunia and metrorrhagia. The histological appearance of the tumours is very similar to that of uterine fibromas, but their pathogenicity appears to be different, and they progress in a similar manner to that of benign tumors. Because of the existence of a cleavage line they can be easily enucleated, the main therapeutic problem being the choice of the surgical approach to be employed.

[Retroperitoneal haematomas in patients receiving anticoagulants. Therapeutic indications. One case (author's transl)].

Despite the customary absence of any preexistent lesion, aetiological studies should not be neglected, in particular intravenous pyelography and, above all, angiography. Wilst an attitude of therapeutic abstention has been the rule up to the present time, the indications of treatment may be modified in the absence of a local cause: - the small retroperitoneal haematoma benefits most from medical treatment; - surgical treatment should nevertheless be applied early in the case of: . large retroperitoneal haematomas, . whenever anticoagulant therapy must be maintained at all costs. . in the case of nerve compression. - Pre-operative angiography ensures selection of the safest surgical approach.
