[Evaluation of alexithymic traits in bronchial asthma patients. Use of the Schalling Sifneos Personality Scale].
The authors investigate the alexithymia phenomenon and the possibility of quantifying it by administering the Schalling-Sifneos Personality Scale on four groups of subjects: asthmatics, psychosomatics other than bronchial asthmatics, patients afflicted with non-psychosomatic chronic illnesses and healthy subjects. The questionnaire permits a quantitative evaluation of the alexithymia phenomenon that appears significantly more evident in asthmatics than in patients afflicted with chronic illnesses and healthy subjects. The patients afflicted with psychosomatic illnesses other than asthma attain higher scores than asthmatic patients. The authors identify certain items on the scale as being particularly associated with the alexithymia phenomenon, enough to be able to construct a partial alexithymia score, indicative in itself of the presence of alexithymia personality traits, even in the absence of particularly high total alexithymia scores. Variations in age and educational level influence scores obtained by healthy subjects and patients afflicted with chronic illnesses, while this does not occur in asthmatics and other psychosomatic patients. This seems to indicate that the higher scores of the latter are not influenced by social or statistical types of factors, but rather by illness-related factors.

Well differentiated "lipoma-like" liposarcoma of the sigmoid mesocolon and multiple lipomatosis of the rectosigmoid colon. Report of a case.
Liposarcoma is the second most common soft tissue sarcoma in adults. These neoplasms take their origin from primitive mesenchymal cells and are rarely encountered in fat rich areas, such as subcutaneous tissue and/or the subserosa of the intestinal tract which, on the contrary, are the two most common sites of lipomas. The two major locations of liposarcomas are the extremities and the retroperitoneum followed with much less frequency by the inguinal region. Other sites are uncommon, particularly the mesentery (9 cases to date in the literature) and, even more so, the mesocolon (only 3 cases of primary sarcoma of the mesocolon reported to date). This paper reports on the case of a well differentiated "lipoma-like" liposarcoma of the sigmoid mesocolon, associated with multiple lipomatosis of the recto-sigmoid colon in a 75 year-old female patient. Surgical treatment consisted of a trans-anal extra-peritoneal anterior resection by CEEA 28 stapler under endoscopic vision. The patient has been followed up for the last 2 years and is still disease-free and well. The peculiarity of the case consists in the contemporaneous presence in close contiguity of two different rare neoplasms whose association is not yet known.
