[Anorectal neuroendocrine carcinoma: observations on a case and review of the literature].
Carcinoid tumours of the anorectum are rare (0.7% of malignant rectal tumours). Because of this rarity several aspects of the management of these tumours remain controversial. Diagnosis may be delayed because of failure to recognize their morphological characteristics and histological appearance may not reflect their biological behaviour. Immunocytochemistry for neuroendocrine-cells are essential to identify different types of carcinoid tumours and to do differential diagnosis from other malignant tumours. All that allow an exact therapeutic approach to these tumours. The tumours less than cm 1 in diameter can be safely treated by local excision; the tumours more than cm 1 in diameter are treated by radical surgery (AAP).

[Perianal Paget's disease: clinical observation and review of the literature].
The authors present a case of PPD, stressing the importance to distinguish "true" PPD from pagetoid spread, for correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment. This distinction is possible by using immunohistochemical stains, with particular regarding Ab-GCDFP-15, considered specific marker for Paget's cell.

[Squamous carcinoma of the anal canal and its variations. Personal experience and review of the literature].
Six cases of anal canal squamous carcinoma are presented. The authors precise the present view about pathological, epidemiological, clinical and therapeutical aspects of these lesions. They stress, also, the primary role of embryology and anatomy in the oncogenesis of such tumours; the importance to single out specific population at risk, absolutely different from the typical one for rectal adenocarcinoma and the role of chemoradiation therapy as treatment of choice of these neoplasms. Particular importance is given to modern histologic and histogenetic classification of these tumours, stressing the difficulties to distinguish the various histologic types.

[Subtotal colectomy with ceco-rectal anastomosis].
A case of subtotal colectomy cecoproctostomy for multiple lesions of the colon is introduced. This procedure has advantages over ileoproctostomy because it spares the terminal ileum, ileocecal junction and cecum. Due to the high incidence of bowel movements after the ileoproctostomy operation, the authors recommend cecoproctostomy as a valid choice in a selectioned group of patients with multiple or extended lesions that spares cecum and rectum.

[A case of ileocecocolic intussusception from cecal carcinoma].
The authors present a case of ileocecocolic intussusception by carcinoma of the caecum. They stress the most peculiar aspects of this condition: rare etiology; complete invagination of caecum appendix and ileum; typical clinical presentation characterized by variable dimensions of the mass and symptoms not ascribing to occlusion, no lesions at endoscopy; evidence of a typical "target mass" visualized at T.C.

[The colorectal adenoma-carcinoma sequence: the limits between polypectomy and intestinal resection].
According to a clinic case, the authors pointed out the role of histological diagnosis in the therapeutic approach of large intestinal adenomas. In order to identify those lesions which can metastasize, having exceeded the muscularis mucosae and having invaded the submucosa, rigorous histological standards must be performed. Intestinal resection versus polypectomy is determined only according to the involvement or not of the muscularis mucosae.

[Gardner syndrome: diagnostic, clinical and genetic questions in the light of 2 case reports].
The authors on the base of two cases of Gardner's syndrome recently observed, proceed to a wide review of literature on this subject so as to stress the peculiar aspects of this syndrome, so complex and uncommon. The greatest emphasis is given to the role of genetics as regarding to diagnosis and screening programs, as well as to the more recent acquisitions about diagnosis, therapy and follow up of risk lesions, such as colorectal and duodenal adenomas, as well as of intrabdominal desmoid tumours, which, although not histologically malignant, may often influence prognosis negatively, because of their remarkable local invasiveness and tendency to recurrence.

Preservation and peeling of the inferior mesenteric artery in the anterior resection for complicated diverticular disease.
The authors, on the basis of 3 cases of complicated diverticular disease, discuss the indications to surgery, considering the advantages and disadvantages of the various surgical techniques and examining in particular the rules for a correct operation with resection and primary or secondary anastomosis. As they performed a rectosigmoidectomy with primary high colorectal anastomosis, they report the reasons why they adopted the preservation and peeling of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA).
