A personal series is examined in order to assess the reliability of CEA in the diagnosis of returning colorectal cancer and to compare the data accumulated with reports in the literature with a view to establishing reliable criteria for the use and assessment of this test.
A personal series of colo-rectal tumours from 1979 to 1987 has been examined so as to check the validity of CEA as a marker in the diagnosis of these tumours. The data confirmed what has already been reported, namely its poor diagnostic sensitivity even though its utility for prognosis and in the follow-up of these patients remains confirmed, as is shown by the literature.

A case of aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM) of the pelvis and perineum is reported, whose clinical and pathological findings are consistent with the literature. This is a clinicopathological entity recently described by Rosai and colleagues (1983) who stressed its locally infiltrative nature and its tendency to recur. Its differential diagnosis includes a series of benign and malignant soft tissue tumours.

550 patients given abdominal or extra-abdominal surgery in the first six months of 1980 were examined to provide data on the incidence of delayed postoperative canalisation. Both general (sex, age, physical constitution) and surgical (extent of surgery, whether the peritoneal sac was opened) factors were considered. The data collected provide information on the prophylaxis and therapy of delayed postoperative canalisation.
