Sensitivity of ultrasound in the detection of biliary tract obstruction.

In 28 patient with varying degrees of biliary obstruction, the ultrasonic findings were correlated with the serum bilirubin levels and with the size of the bile ducts as measured by percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC). With ultrasound, study of the intrahepatic ducts achieved the greatest accuracy (71%); examination of common bile ducts and the gallbladder were found to be less sensitive (54 and 53%). Ultrasound proved to be very accurate in biliary obstruction, when the serum bilirubin was above 4.8 mg/100 ml (80 mumol/1).

[Oral submucosal pseudosarcomatous nodular fasciitis. Case report].

A case of enoral submucosal pseudosarcomatous fasciitis is described to demonstrate the possible localisation of this lesion in the oral cavity and correlated diagnostic problems. It is a rapid, local invasive growing, self-limiting tumor which seldom exceeds a diameter of 1-2 cm. Malign transformation and metastatic spread did not occur when the tumor was excised. A simple surgical excision is the adequate treatment. The knowledge of this lesion seems to be important for different-diagnostic exclusion of malignant mesenchymal tumors and to prevent in this way a too extended surgical therapy.
