[Protein-losing enteropathy caused by intestinal metastases of melanosarcoma].

We report about the case of one patient with diffuse small bowel metastases of melanosarcoma, which were revealed by signs of malabsorption 2 years after the exeresis of the initial skin tumor. Metastases of melanosarcoma in the digestive tract, especially the small bowel, have polymorphic and hardly suggestive clinical signs. We lay stress on the high percentage of small bowel metastases of melanosarcoma pointed out by the anatomicopathological literature and on the lack of systematic clinical and radiological search for such metastases in the assessment and follow-up of the primary melanosarcoma.

[Zollinger-Ellison syndrome of ovarian origin. Apropos of a case with a review of the literature].

We report a case of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome due to secretory G and D cells in an ovarian mucinous cystadenoma. Surgical resection of the tumour led to disappearance of clinical symptomatology and laboratory signs. Four other cases were found in the literature. The prognosis of the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, due to a secretory ovarian tumour, appears to be favourable after oophorectomy.

[Disk hypodensity and disk herniation].

The authors report the case of a patient with a herniated lumbar disk and bacterial meningitis. CT scan showed central disk hypodensity at the hernia level, whilst full cytological and bacteriological study of the disk following surgery revealed no evidence of spondylodiscitis. The problem was thus that of consequences of "degenerative" events related to the herniation. Central or peripheral disk hypodensity must in no case be considered as specific of discitis when there is a concomitant disk herniation.
