Gastric liposarcoma. A case report.

Gastric localization of a liposarcoma is exceptional. A 67 year old patient with repeated hematemesis was found to have an ulcer on the dorsal wall of the antrum on radiology. Surgery revealed an ulcerated tumour, 5 X 2 X 1.5 cm, involving the tunica muscularis up to the serosa. Histologic examination showed a liposarcoma with intricate myxomatous zones, round cells, pleomorphous clearly differentiated lipoblastic aspects, and haemorrhagic areas.

[Splenohepatoplasty in the treatment of hepatic cirrhosis].

The authors review the patho-physiologic arguments that have determined Bénichoux to recommend spleno-hepatoplasty in the treatment of hepatic cirrhosis, and present a group of 7 personal observations in which they have tested this type of intervention. The technique employed is described, as well as the follow-up of the cases that had a favourable evolution. In one of the observations differences between the samples obtained by bioptic puncture before the intervention and those obtained at one and two years after surgery, have demonstrated a marked reduction in the intensity of inflammatory reactions, as well as evident reparation processes in the hepatocytes. The authors consider the intervention as a new type of therapy, allowing for re-vascularization of the ischaemic hepatic tissue, as well as for a slow porto-caval derivation with remarkable results for the cirrhotic patients.

[Morphological and enzymatic studies of the supratumoral distended colonic loop in colorectal cancers (therapeutic aspects)].

The authors carried out experimental and clinical studies in an attempt to explain the causes leading to anastomotic dehiscences, a major complication of exeresis surgery of the left colon and of the rectum. In this view they have performed in dogs incomplete stenoses at the level of the sigmoid and also made parallel studies of the morphological and histochemical changes occuring in the supra-stenosis colon wall, with those of the supra-tumoral colon wall found in human colo-rectal carcinomas, in the "sub-occlusion" stage. Histological alterations are presented, characterized by marked edema in all the layers of the wall, leading to evidently hampered colon vascularization. From the enzymological viewpoint there was noted an intensive phosphatasic and ATP-ase reaction in all the layers of the colon wall. These studies led to the conclusion that it is necessary to evaluate the degree and the duration of the supra-tumoral colic distension before a decision is taken to carry out primary colectomy or rectal resection (single-step procedure), and not to avoid the practice of a seriated intervention when necessary. The reversibility of the lesions noted by the authors allows for the possibility to perform a resection after the colic wall to be anastomosed has returned to an almost normal condition, thus avoiding the dehiscence of the sutures.
