[Echographic diagnosis of peritoneal metastases in patients with ascites].

A prospective study of 14 malignant ascites examined with high frequency ultrasonic probes enabled he authors to achieve a diagnosis of peritoneal metastases in 78% of cases. Peritoneal metastases appear as areas of peritoneal thickening or scalloping, as nodules, with sometimes a strong bulging, and as intestinal masses. Soft part ultrasound should be employed systematically in the diagnosis and follow up of malignant ascites.

[Splenic infarction in Plasmodium falciparum malarial attack].

Splenic infarct during P. falciparum malaria is rare but well known. We report one case where ultrasonography and computed tomography suggested the diagnostic, showing respectively in splenic parenchyma a peripheral hypoechoic lesion and a low attenuation lesion. Diagnostic was confirmed by spontaneous regression during following days. We shall encounter more frequently than nowadays this rare entity due to expanding tourism and P. falciparum resistance.
