The role of ultrasonographic percutaneous cholecystostomy in treatment of acute cholecystitis.
BACKGROUND/AIMS: The Authors propose ultrasonographic percutaneous cholecystostomy in the treatment of acute cholecystitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: During the period between July 1991-December 1993, 26 patients with acute cholecystitis (18 calculous and 8 acalculous) were observed. The cholecystostomy was performed in principle on patients aged over 70 years and in those with acalculous acute cholecystitis. To rationalize the indication for cholecystostomy in patients aged under 70 years with calculous acute cholecystitis, the Authors elaborated a Risk Score. RESULTS: The cholecystostomy was performed in 23 patients, 15 with calculous and 8 with acalculous acute cholecystitis, and was successful in 22 patients (95.7%). In the group with acalculous acute cholecystitis, the cholecystostomy was the resolutive treatment, while in that with calculous acute cholecystitis was associated, when indicated, to the surgery. CONCLUSIONS: The cholecystostomy interrupted the natural history of the disease and has a low morbidity and mortality. It is an effective and rationale contribution to the treatment of the acute cholecystitis.

[Primary gastrointestinal localization of N-H lymphoma: authors' experience].
Primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the alimentary tract is a rare pathological entity with few peculiar clinical aspects, therefore characterized by problems of differential diagnosis with other neoplastic and inflammatory diseases. The Authors report on some cases of primary gastrointestinal N-H lymphoma observed in their experience and discuss about the most significant clinical and pathological data. They conclude that currently surgical treatment is the first fundamental step of a multidisciplinary therapeutic program, which may allow an improvement of the prognosis.

[Primary echinococcosis of the thyroid gland: apropos of a case].
The Authors report a case of primary hydatid cyst of the thyroid. After a review of the literature, they underline the rarity of the case and discuss pathogenesis, clinical and diagnostic related problems. The Authors conclude that, although modern imaging techniques have allowed diagnostic improvements, preoperative diagnosis is still difficult.
