Primary hydatid disease of the pancreas.

A case of primary hydatid disease of the pancreas is presented in a patient operated on for an adrenal mass. Computed tomographic findings, such as rounded cystic lesion with curvilinear calcification, may allow the diagnosis to be made in the appropriate clinical setting. The diagnosis was confirmed at surgery.

Echinococcosis

Long-term results from use of fascia lata as arterial graft.

Of twenty-four dogs, fifteen survived up to two years after aortic replacement with fresh fascial graft. Surviving dogs underwent hemodynamic study and cineaortography. Histology of the graft was examined after the dogs were sacrificed. Length of the graft used is an important factor for both dog survival and graft hemodynamics. The shorter the aortic segment replaced the better the chances for long-term graft patency.
