Laparoscopic-assisted resection of a gastric lipoma.

Laparoscopic excision of a gastric lipoma is reported here. The diagnosis was done preoperatively be computed tomography, which gave evidence of fat tissue due to its low attenuation. The patient undergoes a complete submucosal excision enjoying the benefit of the laparoscopic approach with rapid postoperative recovery. This procedure offers a good alternative to open laparotomy in the treatment of benign gastric tumours.

[Ascending aortic aneurysm with mucoid infiltration of the media and aortic leaflets. Pathogenic hypotheses- surgical consequences].

The theoretical and practical problems posed by aneurysms of the ascending aorta with mucoid infiltration of the Media and the aortic leaflets are discussed with reference to two suggestive cases. These histological changes are not specific for Marfan's syndrome, the relation with which is very inconstant. Incomplete replacement of the affected tissues risks a recurrence which is especially serious when the sinus of Valsalva is involved. Therefore, total replacement of the ascending aorta with aortic valve replacement and reimplantation of the coronary arteries is generally indicated. Histology of the excised tissues should be performed routinely with specific stains for mucopolysaccharides. Close follow-up of operated patients with this condition is recommended, especially those with only partial replacements.
