[Tumors of the small intestine].

On the basis of 20 observations of tumours of the small bowel a series of diagnostic, therapeutic and prognosis of these lesions are discussed. Malignant tumours of the small bowel (10 adenocarcinomas and 2 sarcomas in the present statistics) represent 1,9 per cent of the total number of malignant tumours of the small bowel. The patients were hospitalized following an acute complication occlusion, haemorrhage, perforation). Four of the patients benefited from a curative treatment, in 5 only a derivation was possible, and in 9 only exploratory laparotomy and bioptic sampling. Eight of the tumours were benign and consisted in : 3 fibromas; 2 neurogenic tumours; 2 adenomatous polyps, and one lipoma. All were discovered in the course of emergency surgery for occluding syndrome or haemorrhage, and benefited from a radical treatment. Two deaths were recorded in the entire series (one following embolism in the 10-th day after surgery and another in the 3-rd day with occluding shock). Both patients were in a condition of severe hydroelectrolytic imbalance.

The incidence of thyroiditis lesions in nodular goiter.

On the basis of clinical and biological data, surgical investigation and histopathological aspects, a number of 35 localized froms of thyroiditis have been given a diagnosis in order to assess their incidence in case of both nodular goiter and chronical inflammatory processes at the thyroid gland level. Three possibilities are considered: the proper inflammatory lesions--granulomatous, lymphoplasmocitary and ligneous thyroiditis, the cystic formations circumscribed by the glandular tissue with inflammatory signs as well as the association of thyroid cancer with chronic thyroiditis--seldom reported in literature--upon which 2 observations have been made.

[Tumors and cysts of the mesentery. Clinical and therapeutic study].

This study is based on a group of 34 primary tumours of the mesenterium which were treated in the first surgical Clinic between 1960 and 1981. In this series were 19 women and 15 men, and the age of the patients varied between 16 and 68 years, being in the average of 44 years. Ten cystic tumours were recorded, and 24 solid tumours. Nine of the tumours were benign and the remaining 25 were malignant. The cystic tumours, for the most of the benign type, were almost exclusively cystic lymphangiomas. One serous cyst was also recorded, as well as one hematic cyst, and one dermoid cyst that had underwent malignization. The solid tumours were all malignant, of the sarcomatous type,, and their starting point was the mesenteral connective-vascular structures. The clinical picture of the mesenteral tumours is polymorphous and non-characteristic. In the frame of paraclinical examinations the radiologic investigation holds an important place and this is especially true for selective arteriography of the upper mesenteric artery, which provides useful informations concerning the topography of the tumour in relation to the mesenteral vascular trunk. Therapeutic possibilities are discussed, and the fact is stressed that, for improving the prognosis an early diagnosis is essential.

[Cervicomediastinal and thoracic goiters].

Between 1950 and 1979 approximately 2400 patients with thyropathies have been operated in the I-st Surgical Clinic of Jassy. Of these 100 had cervico-mediastinal goiters, of which 79 were of the plunging cervico-mediastinal type, 18 were of the mediastino-cervical type and 3 were mediastinal goiters. The surgical treatment was applied in 98 patients, cervicotomy being sufficient to relieve the symptoms in 92 of the cases. The mixed approach (cervicosternotomy, or cervico-thoracic approach) were necessary in 5 cases, and the thoracic approach was selected in one case with an independent posterior mediastinal goiter. The immediate postoperative evolution, as well as the late evolution was good in most of the cases. Postoperative mortality was of 2 percent.
