[Merkel cell carcinoma of the skin. Two clinical cases].

In this study are described two clinical cases of Merkel cell tumor treated in the first half of 1991. The MCC is a rare primary skin tumor with an aggressive biologic nature. The elective therapy of primary sites is surgical management with lymphadenectomy although this kind of treatment is debated. Local recurrence high incidence requires a frequent and careful follow-up with possibility of second surgical treatment in the cases without metastasis and a radiochemotherapy in the patients affected by systemic recurrences.

[Hydatid choleperitoneum: a rare complication of hepatic hydatid disease].

The authors report their experience relative to hydatid choleperitoneum which is a rare complication of hydatid hepatic disease (one case of 236 operated). They underline how such pathology constitutes a clinic and anatomopathological case, well characterized and different from those offered by other complications of this hepatic disease. They draw attention moreover on how preoperative diagnosis is often difficult and consequently how the surgical therapeutic technique requires a very careful examination of anatomic relations of the lesion and recognize, as a chiefly foundation, a radical treatment of hepatic disease and whenever possible, the removal of the pseudomembrane of encystment.

[Tracheostomy: indications, techniques, and complications].

The authors report their experience relative to 46 tracheostomies performed over a 10-year period. In 6 cases the indication for a tracheostomy was a post-traumatic respiratory failure; in 20 cases a chronic respiratory insufficiency, in 6 cases a malignant neoplasm of the larynx; in 10 cases a postoperative respiratory insufficiency; in 4 cases for tongue and/or neck wounds. The authors stress the importance of a correct indication, the use of large volume-low pressure cuffs and an appropriate surgical technique to prevent complication of tracheostomy.
