[Desmoid tumors of the mesentery in Gardner's syndrome. Value of x-ray computed tomography].

3 cases of desmoid tumours of the mesentery occurring as part of Gardner's syndrome are reported. In 2 cases, CAT scanning was carried out. We underline the value of this examination compared to other imaging methods. It allows the establishment of a diagnosis, investigation for complications, the operability to be assessed and is useful for monitoring patients. Its major value is in avoiding an unnecessary laparotomy, a factor certain to produce recurrence, in certain patients. Other alternative therapy may then be proposed.

[Disseminated intravascular coagulation (D.I.C.) and fibrinolysis in patients with acute leukemia (author's transl)].

Biological symptoms of D.I.C. were investigated in 43 patients with acute leukemia. Ten of them were found to be positive either at the onset or at the relapse of the disease and in some cases D.I.C. was triggered by chemotherapy. Among the ten positive cases 3 patients had an acute promyelocytic leukemia, 4 had an acute lymphoblastic leukemia, 2 a myeloblastic and 1 a monoblastic leukemia. D.I.C. was found either in patients with an hypercellular form of the disease or in patients with a normal or low white cell count. Symptoms of D.I.C. in acute leukemia must be systematicaly sought at the onset and during treatment by chemotherapy and treated with heparin and platelet transfusions as it is now admitted for acute promyelocytic leukemia.
