[Digestive hemorrhage from a duodenal neuroendocrine tumor. Diagnostic-therapeutic features and emergency surgical strategy].

The Authors report a rare case of duodenal neoplasia in a 17 year old boy. The patient was admitted in an emergency setting for hemorrhagic shock and duodenal perforation. Laparotomy was performed and a huge perforated neoplasia of the duodenum was found. Conservative approach was preferred, since the intraoperative histology was unuseful in choosing the better procedure: thus just a tumorectomy and closure of the duodenum were performed. Pathology examination demonstrated a neuroendocrine primitive duodenal tumors not well differentiated and with high grade of malignancy. The Authors discuss the role of the elements, clinical features and pathology, as well as emergency and postoperative management.

[Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE or watermelon stomach): a case report].

Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE), recently described in literature, is an important cause of gastric bleeding. A case of great gastrectasia with vascular ectasia in an elderly male patient is reported. The lesion was characterized by great linear and brush folds along the antrum and body of the stomach, Endoscopically, this folds seems like the watermelon streakings. It could be an acquired lesion probably linked to traumatism on gastric mucosa.

Intraductal papillary carcinoma of the parotid gland with low malignancy.

A peculiar case of papillary carcinoma arising in the parotid gland is reported. A 68-year-old woman presented with a right, painless, parotid mass, measuring approximately 3 cm in greatest diameter. A conservative parotidectomy was performed. Histologically, the neoplasm showed exophytic papillary projections into a cavity. The cells were focally suggestive of epidermoidal differentiation, whereas a transitional differentiation was noted in other portions, as in bladder papilloma. Immunohistochemical studies showed strong positivity of the neoplastic cells for cytokeratin and weak positivity for PCNA and Mib-1. We classified this neoplasm among the papillary tumors with a low-grade of malignancy.

[Supplemental proposal in the surgical treatment of liver injury. Experimental studies].

Liver resections pose a great variety of problems, not least repair of the cut. The various reconstruction modalities are reviewed and personal experience in twenty rats submitted to surgical removal of the median lobe of the liver with cover of the sectioned surface by means of omental mesh autograft is reported. The results were flattering for the absence of significant complications and for the haematological and haematochemical data obtained which confirm low easily the graft takes, its regenerative potential and the modulator action of peritoneal repair processes.

[Surgical proposals concerning omental mesh graft. Experimental studies].

In general surgery, the advantages deriving from the utilisation of omental graft are attributable to the ease with which it takes, its regenerating potential and the modulator action on tissue repair. Personal experience regarding the peritoneization and covering of surgical liver surfaces is reported and the use in various sectors of surgery of omental mesh graft is recommended.

[Preliminary results of tumor marker monitoring in patients with colorectal carcinoma].

A study relating to the preliminary results of the measurement of tumoral markers (TPA, GICA) in patients suffering from colorectal carcinoma is reported. It is possible to state, on the basis of this experience, that the use of the two tumoral markers is justified in the preoperative period above all as a prognostic indicator, while greater clinical utility would seem to derive from their use through serial determinations, in the postoperative follow-up and in the monitoring of patients undergoing antiblastic and radiation treatment.

[Etiopathogenetic and histopathologic aspects of acute necrotico-hemorrhagic pancreatitis in experimental animals].

In this study, the Authors have provoked experimentally acute pancreatitis in the rat by different methods, in order to find out morphological modifications of the pancreas in the initial stage of the disease. In case of biliary and pancreatic duct obstruction with pure pancreatic reflux, both oedema and inflammatory infiltrations were evident, whereas, in the presence of biliary reflux too, more serious histological features were detected. In conclusion, the first sign of alteration in acute pancreatitis could be represented by the association of intraductal hypertension and pure pancreatic reflux.
