[Diagnostic role of ultrasound in the transplanted kidney].

Among diagnostic postoperative procedures in renal cadaver transplantation echographic examination shows high sensitivity and specificity (over 80%). Urographic examination is in fact often dangerous and impossible in non-functioning grafts. Echography can reveal several liquid and solid collections such as hematomas, urinomas, abscesses, lymphatic collections and so on. Urinary obstructions caused by ureteral clots, calculi, external masses can be also detected through echographic examination. Vascular complications can be evaluated through echo and US Doppler examination showing arterial and venous complications. In most of cases acute and chronic graft rejection can be revealed through echo examination whereas in few cases diagnosis can be made only with the help of renal biopsy, laboratory findings and clinical conditions. In conclusion echography is a safe and reliable procedure in renal graft postoperative monitoring.

[Unusual anatomo-clinical features of thyroid metastasis].

The authors report a case of metastatic tumor from clear cell carcinoma in the thyroid gland occurred in a patient who had his primary tumor previously treated with right nephrectomy. The time interval before the appearance of the metastasis was 6 years. The diagnosis was made preoperatively because of the peculiar biological behavior of the primary tumor. In fact, the metastasis and the primary presented with neoplastic invasion of the middle thyroid vein and the renal vein respectively. The ultrasound examination revealed the vein thrombus arising from the thyroid and reaching the internal jugular vein through the middle thyroid vein. Subsequent fine needle aspiration biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of metastasis from clear cell renal carcinoma. The low grade of malignancy of the primary from the clinical point of view and the absence of other metastatic locations influenced the therapeutic approach.

[Computerized tomography in pulmonary sequestration].

The authors describe two cases of intra and extralobar pulmonary sequestration and evaluate its principal clinical and pathological characteristics. They outline the key role of T.C. in the approach to this pathology. The T.C. enables to collect in a short time a large quantity of useful information for a correct diagnosis which could not be obtained by means of other methods of imaging.

[CT in the evaluation of the extension of bronchogenic carcinoma].

The computed tomographic patterns in 52 patients with histologically proven lung cancer are reported. The AA. underline the not sobstitutive role of C.T. scan in pre-operative determination of bronchogenic carcinoma extension. C.T. revealed a very high diagnostic accuracy in assessing the primary tumor extension and in evaluating distant macrometastases; however, in showing hilar and mediastinal nodal involvement has not the same accuracy. The AA. think that, at the present time, a combinate C.T. study of the chest, upper abdomen and brain is, in the most number of cases, a rapid, accurate and practical method to evaluate the extension of lung cancer.
