Cloacogenic carcinoma of the anus.

A case is presented of transitional-cell cloacogenic carcinoma -- a rare variant of anal canal malignancy that occurred in a 58-year-old woman. The characteristics of this tumor are discussed, and her prognosis after abdominoperineal resection and posterior colpectomy seems good.

Angiodysplasia as a cause of colonic bleeding in the elderly.

Angiodysplasia is being recognized as a major causal factor of colonic haemorrhage in the elderly. Superior mesenteric arteriography in an 86-year-old lady with recurrent haemorrhage revealed the lesion. Confirmation of the diagnosis was made possible by the injection of contrast material into the blood vessels of the removed intestine and subsequent histological examination.

Use of the carbon dioxide laser in an abdominoperineal resection for epidermoid anal carcinoma: a case report.

An abdominoperineal excision of the rectum was performed on a 52-year-old male who had epidermoid anal carcinoma. A steel scalpel was utilized for the abdominal component, but the entire perineal resection was accomplished with a carbon dioxide laser beam. We believe this to be the first reported case of an abdominoperineal resection using this new modality, which may become a useful and modern adjunct in extirpative surgery. The haemostatic effects of the laser were well demonstrated in our patient.

Excision of buccal hemangioma by carbon dioxide laser beam.

The carbon dioxide laser beam was used successfully to extirpate a large buccal hemangioma in a child. No hemostats were required, as this new surgical modality affords a practically bloodless operative field. Tissue necrosis occurs only minimally at the borders of the incision. Operative intervention with the carbon dioxide laser beam in cases of hemangioma and other tumors of the oral cavity is advocated.

Transcatheter occlusion of inferior mesenteric arteriovenous fistula: a case report.

Transcatheter embolization of the inferior mesenteric artery with steel coils was performed for the control of massive lower gastrointestinal bleeding and sepsis. The bleeding and sepsis was caused by a very large arteriovenous fistula of the inferior mesenteric vessels. This iatrogenic lesion developed and became symptomatic just 5 weeks after an anterior resection of the rectum was performed. Following embolization, the patient made a speedy recovery from the sepsis and no recurrent bleeding was noted.
