[Esophageal Abrikosov's tumor, preoperative diagnosis with echoendoscopy].

Echo-endoscopic investigation provided the preoperative diagnosis in a case of oesophageal Abrikossoff's tumor. Characteristics of this rare tumor are described, and difficulties of etiologic diagnosis prior to histology underlined, using conventional exploratory examinations. Minimal surgery should be attempted for this exceptionally malignant tumor.

[Cancer and gastric sarcoidosis].

A 63-year-old woman treated 28 years ago for pulmonary sarcoidosis was operated upon for gastric cancer. Histology showed combined lesions of gastric sarcoidosis and adenocarcinoma. This is an exceptional association, and the relation between the two affections is discussed, the most likely hypothesis being a sarcoid reaction to the cancer.

[Successive cancers of the colon and rectum].

The incidence of successive cancers of the colon and rectum varies from 1.4% to 5.1%. Among 350 malignant colorectal tumours operated in our unit, there were 7 cases of successive cancers (2%). The mean interval between the discovery of the first and second cancer was 4.9 years with a range of 1 to 10 years, 3 cases before 2 years and 4 cases after 5 years. The diagnosis of the second cancer was made by coloscopy in 4 cases and was revealed by rectal bleeding in 4. CAE level was unchanged in all 7 patients and was not contributive to diagnosis. At diagnosis of the first cancer there were 5 intraparietal tumours including 2 with lymph node dissemination. At diagnosis of the second cancer, there were 5 cases of intraparietal tumours with 1 lymph node extension. An association with benign polyps was observed in 2 of the 7 cases at the first diagnosis and in 4 of the 7 at the second. Prophylaxy requires complete work-up with total coloscopy at the diagnosis of the first cancer. Segmentary colectomy is sufficient in patients over 65, but we prefer total colectomy in patients under 65.
