[Comparative evaluation of cholecystography, cholangiography, echotomography and cholescintigraphy in surgical disorders of the bile ducts].

The results of a multidiscipline trial conducted on 70 patients with cholecyst or bile duct diseases, including 20 complicated by icterus, are presented. the diagnostic significance of cholecystography and cholangiography supplemented by echotomography and HIDA cholescintigraphy was assessed. A personally employed protocol for the diagnosis of patients with cholecyst and bile duct disorders, covering both simple lithiasis and cases complicated by icterus, is proposed.

[Medullary carcinoma of the thyroid. Observation of a case].

A case of medullary carcinoma of the thyroid is reported, particular attention being paid to preoperative diagnostic problems. The importance of cytological examination carried out with fine needle acupuncture is also stressed. The anatomopathological and clinical features are outlined, special mention being made of the neoplasia's frequent hormonal secretion and its possible familial nature.

[Solitary congenital cyst of the liver. Clinical and therapeutic considerations on 2 cases].

A brief overview of the aetiopathogenetic aspects of non-parasitic cyst of the liver is followed by the presentation of two personal cases. Their diagnostic, anatomopathological and therapeutic features are examined, and reference is made to the treatment employed, namely partial cystectomy and derivation on an excluded loop à la Roux. It is suggested that the type of surgery employed will depend in each case on the relation of the cyst to the liver parenchyma (superficial or deep sites) and neighbouring organs. Benign forms should be treated in a not excessively destructive manner.

[Splenectomy. Medical and surgical indications (observations on 95 cases)].

95 splenectomies carried out at the General Surgery Division of the Busto Arsizio Circolo Hospital between 1967 and 1977 are reported. After some brief historical notes, stress is laid on those forms of primary or secondary splenopathy which are receptive to surgical intervention. Splenectomies with surgical indication (traumatic ruptures during other operations for various conditions) are distinguished from those with medical indication: Cooley, Werlhoff, Hodgkin, hair cell leukaemia, Banti. The clinical, haematological and physiopathological aspects responsible for splenic change are considered for each individual disease on the basis of personal experience.

[Neoplasms of the male breast. Case report and review of the literature].

Fourteen cases of breast cancer in males observed between 1950 and 1974 at the Busto Arsizio Hospital Surgery Divsion are presnted. The literature is reviewed and attention is given to the incidence of this form, its symptoms and treatments, and to the length of survival after surgical management.

[Thoracoscopy in the staging of tumors of the lung].

The Authors review the results of thoracoscopy in 15 cases of pleural effusions concomitant with tumours of the lungs. In addition to defining the aetiology of the pleural effusion, the investigation completes the staging of the malignancy and affords both the possibility of reducing the number of exploratory thoracotomies and of resolving a number of cases at exeresis.

[Thoracoscopy in the diagnosis of pleural mesothelioma].

The Authors assess the results of thoracoscopy in 21 cases of pleural mesothelioma observed over the period from 1982 to 1991. The procedure yielded a correct diagnosis in 18 cases (in 2 cases, CTM due to adenoma at cytology allowed histological definition of the tumour). In 3 cases, thoracoscopy failed to detect the tumour, which was confirmed at a later stage. This type of investigation is indicated for the diagnosis of all pleural diseases and, in particular, for diagnosing mesothelioma (reliability in our series: 85.7%).

[Erythema multiforme induced by the combination of phenytoin and cerebral irradiation].

The authors report the case of erythema multiforme characterized by its cephalic onset and its rise after association phenytoin and cranial irradiation, for glioblastoma with epileptic fits. Eight similar cases are observed in literature with the same timing. Benign outcome is not always the rule because 2 patients died. This type of reaction being not forseeing, and outcome very varying, we suggest to avoid phenytoin in patients having a cerebral tumor revealed by epilepsy and needing a cranial irradiation.
