The authors describe 4 cases of tubal cancer reported in the gynaecology department of the University Hospital in Caen and review the international literature. If all authors are in agreement on the early symptoms (leukorrhea, haemorrhages, pelvic pain), the lack of diagnosis before the procedure, the lack of information regarding the staging and the grading, as well as the surgical and radiation treatment, there is, above all, controversy regarding the use of chemotherapy, since the low number of patients in the different series does not permit reaching a conclusion.

[Splenectomy in Gaucher's disease. Apropos of 2 cases, one of which was preceded by embolization].

Two cases of Gaucher's disease type I are reported Splenectomy was indicated because of hypersplenism and massive splenomegaly. In one case hypersplenism was treated with pre-operative selective embolization because of the volume of the spleen (20 kg). The embolization corrected the thrombopenia but not the size of the spleen. Four years after operation for case 1 and eight months for case two, there is an improvement in the clinical status.
