[Contribution to the study of cholecystoses. Clinical, radiological and pathological analysis (author's transl)].

Cholecystoses is a generic term introduced by Colesson and Jutras for a group of abnormalities of the gallbladder that appear to be separate from inflammatory diseases. Cholecystoses imply a benign proliferation of normal tissue elements, whereas cholecystosis indicates a pathologic process that is distinct from inflammation. 1 072 cholecystectomies were examined. 180 cholecystoses were diagnosed, 162 were associated with gallstones. There was no difference concerning the clinical symptom between cholecystoses and cholelithiasis. Radiological study confirms and clarifies the nature and character of these gallbladder lesions. In the histological examination 49,4 per cent of the cases were cholesterolosis, 2,9 per cent polyposis and 47,7 per cent adenomatosis. The treatment of cholecystoses is first and foremost medical, exception in case of calcareous and porcelain gallbladders. Surgery is only indicated in cases in which medical treatment is unsuccessful and when a cancerous degeneration is suspected.

[Pancreatic metastases of nephro-epitheliomas. Apropos of 2 cases].

Pancreatic metastasis from clear cell carcinoma of the kidney are exceptional (1 to 3 per cent). Twelve cases have been found in the literature, to which our two observations must be add. Intestinal haemorrhage rule the clinical signs. The complementary arteriography is a very good investigation. Surgery with excision may be effect when a solitary metastasis to the pancreas exist. We can argue about chemotherapy when there is a metastatic dissemination.

[Is wound healing modified by the use of diathermy incision (author's transl)].

Many surgeons are hesitant to use the electrocautery on the gastrointestinal tract. The aim of the present study is to compare, with mechanical and histological criteria, wound healing following abdominal and gastric incisions made by scalpel and diathermy, in the rat. This study revealed no difference in bursting pressure between scalpel and diathermy incisions. Histologically there is not a delay in healing in the gastrointestinal tract following electroincision. It is concluded that in abdominal surgery the diathermy can be used without detriment to the strength of any suture line and with no difference in its final healing.

[Surgical widening of strictures in the small intestine in Crohn disease].

Twenty-two stricture plasties were performed in five patients with multiple stenosis of the small intestine due to Crohn's disease. Immediate post-operative results were satisfactory but progressive degradation followed. These findings are similar to those reported in the literature on this technique which does not give better results than other methods since none have an effect on the clinical course of the disease. The only advantage is to decrease the amount of intestinal mutilation.

Pancreatic localization of a Castleman's tumour.

Castleman's tumour is a rare anatomo-clinical entity. Most cases of Castleman's tumour occur in the mediastinum. The histopathology demonstrates benign angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia. The pancreatic localization is uncommon and has only been reported once. We describe a new case with literature review.
