[A case of duodenal schwannoma (clinical study)].

Taking a case of duodenal schwannoma, that they had observed, as a starting point, on the base of their experience and the data of literature, the authors discuss the epidemiological, of classification and anatomo-pathological aspects of this rare neoplastic form. They particularly outline the clinical aspect, the diagnostic pre-operating iter and the correct and radical surgical behaviour that must be practiced during laparatomy.

[Clinical and pathological staging of 85 patients with Hodgkin's disease: a clinical contribution (author's transl)].

This is a retrospective study of 85 patients with Hodgkin's disease undergoing studies of clinical staging. Of these, 28 were investigated by laparotomic splenectomy, which revealed evidence of disease progress not otherwise detectable in 10 cases (36%). The authors also note that cases with an unfavorable histotype are associated with a higher incidence of spleen involvement and a more advanced stage of disease.

[Behavior of calcemia in breast malignancy. Note I (author's transl)].

The authors report a statistical investigation conducted in 95 patients with mammary carcinoma, designed to show the behavior of calcemia in the course of this malignancy. The data were analyzed statistically by the binomial test, the scatter of values (F test of Snedecor), and the t test of Student. The authors confirmed the existence of a statistically significant alteration of calcemia only in the group of patients with metastasis to bone versus control subjects; conversely there was no significant difference of distribution in the various groups in regard to values beyond those given as normal.

[Digestive hemorrhage as a complication of a pancreatic pseudocyst].

A study was made at the Padua University Second Surgical Clinic--located in Verona--on four cases of digestive haemorrhage in patients with pancreatic pseudo-cysts. The psysiopatological, diagnostic and therapeutic problems inherent in this pathology are discussed. In particular, attention is drawn to the need for and difficulty of marking a correct diagnosis in good time, and the utility, for such purpose, of endoscopic examinations and selective arteriography of the coeliac tripod and the superior mesenteric artery. Lastly, the various possibilities that surgery offers in the treatment of this disease are mentioned.

[Palliative treatment of liver neoplasms I: localized infusion of antimitotics: premises, technical procedure and limitations].

A hepatic localised antiblastic chemotherapic technique combining limited discomfort for patients with appreciable palliative results is illustrated; a short description of the surgical procedure of intubation of the hepatic artery itself and of some auxiliary procedures is given. Lastly the possible complications and the results are illustrated.

[Palliative treatment of liver neoplasms II: dearterialization of the liver: indications, premises, technic and limitations].

Hepatic arterial vascularisation, as described by Michels in 1954, is outlined; the importance of selective angiography in preparation of the hepatic de-arterialisation operation is then stressed, and its theoretical foundations and the surgical technique are illustrated; other procedures which can usefully be combined are also indicated. Lastly an evaluation of the limits and results of this therapy is given.

[The Budd-Chiari syndrome: clinical case reports].

Two cases of Budd-Chiari's Syndrome are presented. These refer to two women aged 34 and 33 years respectively. The aetiology of the first case is linked to polycythaemia rubra and the use of oral contraceptives; that of the second case to a fibrous perihepatitis involving the outlet of the suprahepatic veins, with a tenacious action of stenosis. The surgical therapy used was a latero-terminal left porto-renal shunt in the first case, and a decapsulation and ligature of the common hepatic artery in the second case. In the discussion the aetiopathogenetic, diagnostic and therapeutic problems inherent in the Syndrome are analysed, also on the basis of the most recent experiences reported in the relevant literature.

[Our experience wit congenital anomalies of the bile ducts (with presentation of 13 clinical cases)].

Thirteen cases of congenital anomalies of the bile passages are described, as observed in the Verona Surgical Clinic during the period 1970-75, out of a total of 908 operations on the biliary passages and hence with a frequency of about 1.6%. They consisted of one case each of agenesis of the gall-bladder, septal gall-bladder, clepsydra gall-bladder, Hartmann's sac, diverticulum of the gall-bladder, outlet of the right hepatic in gall-bladder, outlet of cystic duct in third duodenal portion, accessory cholecystobiliary ducts, three cases of outlet of cystic duct in right hepatic duct, and two cases of common choledocho-wirsunghian canal. After a brief description of the individual types of anomaly, the main data in the relevant literature are considered, with a review of the semeiological and therapeutic aspects of the most frequent anomalies.
