Concurrent collagenous colitis and multiple ileal carcinoids.

A case of collagenous colitis in a patient with ileal carcinoid is described. Considerable fibrofatty thickening of the small bowel mesentery was present. The association of these findings appears to be unprecedented. Further observations are required to ascertain that collagenous colitis is one of the protean manifestations of carcinoid tumor.

Exogastric neurilemmoma presenting as acute abdomen: role of computed tomography in diagnosis.

A case of subserosal gastric neurilemmoma is hereby presented. This reported case is unique in its clinical presentation including the appearance of acute abdomen and fever subsequent to unremarkable and uneventful upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. The tendency of neurilemmoma to cause mucosal ulceration with fistula formation probably led to this clinical presentation. The role of computed tomography in establishing diagnosis of exogastric tumor is emphasized.

Management of obstructive carcinoma of the left colon. Comparative study of staged and primary resection.

Of 82 patients who had obstructing cancer of the left colon, 22% had incurable disease and 36.5% had advanced cancer at presentation. All methods of treatment carried a high morbidity and mortality. The mean survival rate with palliative operations was 8.7 months. Twenty-four poor-risk patients treated with staged operations had a 25% operative mortality and a 20.8% five-year survival rate. Forty primary resections, with or without anastomosis, were followed by a 27.5% operative mortality and by more than a twofold five-year survival rate (47.5%) compared with that of staged resection. These results suggest that delay of cure may reduce the late survival rate and justify primary resection as the operation of choice in selected good-risk patients.
