Pseudopneumobilia.

Demonstration of a lucent tubular shadow projected over the liver on plain films of the abdomen would suggest air in the common hepatic and bile ducts. Occasionally, however, the normal periductal fat which surrounds and follows these ducts like a sleeve can simulate pneumobillia. Intravenous cholangiography should confirm the true nature of the entity.

[Benign extrinsic lesions of the large bowel simulating a carcinoma of the colon. Report of 16 cases (author's transl)].

Sixteen cases of benign extrinsic lesions involving the colon and producing roentgen findings simulating a neoplasm are reported. The literature is reviewed. In 5 cases the pathologic process proved to be an inflamed epiploic appendage, in 4 a "congenital" band, in 3 adhesions, in 2 pancreatitis and, in one case each, an old pericecal abscess and an endometriosis.

Diffuse small bowel involvement in malignant histiocytosis.

The extremely unusual patient reported here had malignant histiocytosis with extensive gastrointestinal involvement. The presenting symptoms were those of a gastrointestinal disorder and barium studies of the upper gastrointestinal tract revealed an infiltrative process of the entire small bowel. A biopsy of the small bowel demonstrated abnormal malignant cells and the diagnosis of malignant histiocytosis was considered and confirmed at postmortem. Strongyloidiasis, which was also found in this patient, may represent a hyperinfestation phenomenon due to altered host-parasite balance.
