The simultaneous development of a lymphoma and an adenocarcinoma of the stomach in a patient is reported. This occurrence is exceedingly rare. Moreover, the presence of a third neoplasm in the axillary lymph nodes, manifested as secondaries from a squamous cell carcinoma, makes this case unique in the literature.

During the last decade the non-surgical management of gallbladder stones has become possible. Oral chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) and more recently, ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), have proved to be safe and effective.
