Kaposi's sarcoma of the intestinal tract: roentgen manifestations.

Five cases of generalized Kaposi's sarcoma are reported with roentgen evidence of involvement of the intestinal tract. In three instances, there was extensive involvement of the small bowel with multiple intramural nodules. The fourth patient demonstrated multiple polypoid lesions of the colon, and in the fifth a constricting lesion of the ileum was present. Two patients with small bowel involvement had significant malabsorption. This latter complication of diffuse Kaposi's sarcoma of the small bowel has not been previously reported. The diagnosis of the nature of the roentgen intestinal abnormality can usually be made, because intestinal involvement generally occurs late in the disease, when both extensive cutaneous nodules and edema of the extremities are apparent.

Unusual pelvic complications of a pancreatic pseudocyst.

Pancreatic pseudocysts are notorious for their extension beyond the normal confines of the pancreatic bed. Their inferior extension has been known to involve kidney and ureter. However, involvement of the bladder and rectum is unique although understandable on anatomic grounds. We report an enormous pseudocyst with extension deep into the pelvis to displace both rectum and bladder.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the stomach.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the stomach is a rare, unusual lesion which tends to occur at a somewhat earlier age than adenocarcinoma. Grossly and radiologically the tumor is indistinguishable from adenocarcinoma and may involve any portion of the stomach. Although the pathogenesis of this lesion remains unclear, most authors favor the "metaplastic theory" for the development of the tumor. In this case it is felt that the tumor probably arose from gastric squamous mucosa present congenitally in the lesser curvature.

Ischemic disease of the small bowel and colon associated with oral contraceptives.

The widespread use of hormonal contraceptive pills by young women has caused a documented increase in thromboembolic disorders. This article describes yet another of the drug-induced complications namely, the development of ischemic bowel disease in seven cases. The ischemic changes which involved the small intestine in three and the colon in four patients became reversible after conservative management and discontinuance of oral contraceptive agents. The importance of clinical and radiologic consideration of ischemic bowel disease in young females receiving birth control pills is emphasized.

Colonic necrosis complicating pancreatitis.

Bowel necrosis is an uncommon complication of pancreatitis. Two patients are reported who developed ileocecal and descending colon changes as a result of ischemia following severe pancreatitis. Arteriography in one patient confirmed the presence of intraluminal thrombi.

Pancreatic pseudocysts involving the spleen.

Pancreatic pseudocyst involving the splenic parenchyma itself is an unusual complication of pancreatitis. The diagnosis is best established by arteriography, isotopic studies, and sonography. Once confirmed, surgical intervention is mandatory because of the danger of secondary hemorrhage.

Pneumoperitoneum and appendicitis.

Pneumoperitoneum was observed in five patients with acute perforative appendicitis (APA). In each case this radiographic observation led to an incorrect diagnosis. Free intraperitoneal gas is found in a small number of patients with APA and has no apparent effect on the course or prognosis of the disease.

Leiomyoblastoma of the stomach. Report of 9 cases.

Gastric leiomyoblastoma is a rare intramural tumor which originates in the smooth muscle. Nine cases were studied with respect to their clinical, radiological, and pathological features. Six distinct radiological patterns may be seen, of which 5 are represented in this series. Most such lesions occur in the gastric antrum. Leiomyoblastomas are generally benign and do not recur following removal.

Congenital oesophageal strictures due to cartilaginous rings.

Two cases of distal oesophageal stricture secondary to tracheo-bronchial remnants containing cartilage are presented. The clinical histories and radiographic appearances of these lesions are discussed as is the postulated embryogenesis. A characteristic finding, when present, is the linear collection of barium projecting horizontally from the area of stricture, representing respiratory epithelial ducts.
