The authors report a case of pancreatic malignant fibrous histiocytoma (approximately 22 cm). Clinical and instrumental approach for preoperative diagnosis is discussed and the anatomopathological features of the lesion, which is rarely localized in the pancreatic gland, are stressed. Surgical treatment is outlined as well.
Surgical therapy for achalasia of the esophagus gives good results in only 80-90% of cases. Several reasons could be responsible for this 10-20% failure; the most frequent causes are inadequate cardiomyotomy and reflux esophagitis. We report our experience and our procedure in the management of recurrent achalasia. The most important controversies are also discussed.
Hyperparathyroidism due to parathyroid carcinoma is rare. The natural history of this neoplastic disease is poorly understood for the extremely small number of cases reported in literature. The Authors observed three cases and discuss the clinical features illustrating how to recognize and treat this neoplasia.
The demolition-reconstruction sequence in patients suffering from breast cancer may, in selected cases, be reduced to two surgical steps alone without compromising the radical nature of the surgery or the aesthetic result. The technical details of a protocol realisable in a short time that proposes on the one hand classical radical mastectomy (according to Patey or Madden) and on the other reconstruction by tissue expansion are described.
A preliminary study has been carried out on 10 patients suffering from cancer of the colon and rectum, all subjected to radical surgery. The clinical effectiveness of two alternative techniques of postoperative artificial nutrition, EPEN and TPN, are compared. The results confirm that enteral nutrition is technically applicable and well tolerated in the immediate post-operative period in these patients; it also presents a lower cost, it is more manageable and present a lower incidence of complications compared to TPN while offering similar metabolic and nutritional results.
Two cases of pancreatic cystoadenoma are reported. The value of ultrasound as the first choice imaging technique approach is stressed.
The authors report a case of duodenal leiomyosarcoma presenting a low degree of histological malignancy. The main anatomoclinical features of the neoplasm are summarized. The authors conclude indicating not aggressive surgical therapy as adequate in such cases. However, a prolonged post-operative follow-up is always necessary, in order to detect recurrences as early as possible.
The Authors report a case of diaphragmatic cyst. They remark the difficulty of clinical diagnosis and briefly discuss the hypothesis on its origin.
In a series of 20 lipolysis procedures, there have been no serious major and few minor complications. Selection of patients is important and the best results can be acquired in the patients under 35 years of age. The postoperative circulation and diuresis control are very important particularly during the first 24 hours.
The Authors report an uncommon cavernous hemangioma of the small bowel. Pathological and clinical features are compared with those of the literature. Considering the difficulty of diagnosis, they remark the importance of histological exam as the only reliable diagnostic tool and surgery as the only therapy.
