[False positive results in breast diagnosis after treatment].

The authors referring to a case with a false positive diagnosis which recently came to their observation, describe the clinical, mammographic and echographic patterns to be considered in order to reach a differential diagnosis between benign and malignant lesions of the breast, which occur on surgical scars following quadrantectomy and subsequent radiotherapy. In particular, after an attentive research of the data reported in literature and after careful evaluation based on their personal experience, they conclude that the traditional clinical evaluation occupies a very prominent role in the follow-up of patients who underwent breast cancer surgery. They also believe that the diagnostic techniques, undoubtedly useful and necessary, must always be subjected to a critical evaluation in order to avoid, to the maximum, the possibility of diagnostic errors.

[Arteriomegaly: a clinical case report and review of the literature].

The authors report a case of arteriomegaly and underline the importance of a correct diagnosis. A review of the literature, in fact, confirms the incidence of the disease is higher than usually believed. Therefore, a complete diagnostic evaluation is necessary to recognize the disease and assure the adequate treatment.

[Septic complications in emergency surgery: our experience and a review of the literature].

Surgical infections represent one of the main causes of postoperative morbidity and mortality, especially in emergency surgery, with negative consequences on health costs. The Authors examined 2002 cases of emergency admission for surgical pathologies at the I Surgical Department of the University of Rome ¿La Sapienza¿ from 1987 to 1992. Overall septic complications were 13,7%, with a mortality rate of 1,2%. The Authors underline the lack in Italy of either an accurate system for monitoring septic complications or a useful method for data collection. At last the attention is focused on the main causes of septic complications, their diagnosis and treatment.

[Foreign bodies in the gastrointestinal tract. Our cases and a review of the literature].

The ingestion or introduction of foreign bodies is a common situation in emergency surgery. The patients who usually ingest foreign bodies for different reasons are children, psychotics, alcoholics, prisoners and old people. The authors analyzed 65 cases observed in the I Institute of Surgery of the University of Rome "La Sapienza": 45 males and 20 females. Both the anal introduction and ingestion may be accidental or voluntary. The incidence of complications is estimated about 5 to 7%. The authors underline the opportunity of a conservative removal through endoscopic procedures especially for intraesophageal corps. This procedure is recommended to reduce morbidity and mortality rates, as well as hospitalization and social costs.

[Treatment of peripheral arterial embolisms. Our case series and review of the literature].

Acute arterial obstruction of the limbs represents one of the most frequent events in Emergency Surgery. In 95% of the cases, the cause has to be searched in embolus parting from the heart in patients with rheumatic or fibrillary disease. Currently the two therapeutic methods used for peripheral arterial obstruction are thrombolytic therapy and surgical dysobstruction using Fogarty's catheter. The Authors compare the two methods on the basis of their experience in 129 cases underlying how the thrombolytic therapy (Urokinase, Streptokinase) should be instituted in the early hours from presentation of symptoms, otherwise, the possibility of revascularization will heavily drop. Better results are obtained by positioning a catheter under radiologic guide for intra-arterial infusion. The Authors also believe that up-to-date the surgical approach with Fogarty's catheter represents one of the best procedures, either for its feasibility of for the costs of the thrombolytic therapy. Furthermore, the thrombolysis may be not complete, and account for possible haemorrhagic complications.

[Simplifies case record in emergency surgery].

The Authors present an original case record simplified for urgency and emergency, with the aim to allow a quick and exact framing of the "acute" and consequently with a great saving of time. This is possible also thanks to the simple but efficacious graphic representation of the human body and his main districts. Moreover, it is possible to report data in a computerized system.
