Cholecystoduodenal fistula in a porcelain gallbladder.

Calcification of the gallbladder wall (porcelain gallbladder) is rare. Its appearance is quite characteristic on plain films, ultrasonography and computed tomography. Sporadic cases of cholecystitis have been described in porcelain gallbladders. Enterobiliary fistula may complicate acute or chronic cholecystitis in non-calcified gallbladder. We report a unusual case of acute cholecystitis with cholecystoduodenal fistula in a porcelain gallbladder.

Endoscopic resection of an endobronchial hypernephroma metastasis using a polypectomy snare.

A 69 yr old male patient developed an acute respiratory distress. The emergency bronchoscopic examination showed a polypoid tumour obstructing the left main bronchus. A snare used for colorectal polypectomy was introduced through the bronchofibrescope to remove the tumour. The patient then dramatically improved. No side effects were observed. Histopathological examination showed metastasis from a hypernephroma. This simple technique is useful for bronchial deobstruction, when the tumour is accessible with a snare.

[Cystic dilatations of the bile ducts].

Clinical manifestations of cystic dilation of biliary tracts, a rare affection usually detected in young patients, are described and 2 recent cases reported. Surgical treatment is outlined as a function of morphology of cysts, with emphasis on the high risk of cancerization of biliary tracts, even after bypass operations.

[Peroperative localization of insuloma using staged portal vein insulin assay. Apropos of a case].

The diagnosis of insulinoma is easily done now but, in many cases, it is still difficult to locate it without the use of invasive procedures. With selective angiography and percutaneous transhepatic catheterization of the portal vein however, failure is reduced to about 4%. We report a case of a double localisation of insulinoma, revealed by an intraoperative catheterization of the splenic vein. The advantages of this method are discussed.
