[Importance of using hematoporphyrine derivate in the destruction of adenocarcinomas with Nd Yag or argon lasers].

As the hematoporphyrin derivate photochemical properties have been known for many years, this study tries to appreciate the laser beam effect on experimental tumors previously sensitized by H.P.D. Colic adenocarcinoma cells are grafted on mice. On the 10th day tumors are photocoagulated. Previously the mice were divided into 4 groups: G 1: H.P.D. intra-venous injection on the 9th day followed by a Nd Yag laser photocoagulation; G 2: Nd Yag laser only; G 3: H.P.D. intra-venous injection on the 9th day followed by an argon laser photocoagulation; G 4: argon laser only. The G 1 and G 2 study shows that, when Nd Yag laser is used, H.P.D. alters the type of necrosis obtained and the action depth. The G3 and G4 study shows that, when argon laser is used, H.P.D. does not alter the type of necrosis obtained but greatly increases the action depth.

[Leiomyoma of the rectum].

Most of the 150 leiomyomas of the rectum reported since 1872 were no larger than 5 cm. The authors report 3 new observations of leiomyomas of the rectum measuring more than 5 cm. The diagnosis of leiomyoma is difficult. The physical examination and rectoscopy suggest a submucal tumour of the rectum and endoendoscopy helps, describe the relations with the urogenital tract and the sphincters. Due to the lack of distinctive pathology features of malignancy, a leiomyosarcoma cannot be totally eliminated. The prognosis is uncertain due to the rate of relapse and the short follow-up (less than one year) in the previously reported cases. A slow spontaneous clinical course is however possible. The treatment goal is complete surgical removal. While local exeresis is indicated in tumours less than 5 cm in size, echo-guided endorectal protectomy with or without amputation of the sphincter should be discussed for larger tumours.
