[Teutschlaender lipo-calcino-granulomatosis or tumoral calcinosis of Inclan (author's transl)].

The present report describes a typical case of tumoral calcinosis. Differential diagnosis was initially directed towards sarcoma suggested by fibrous connective tissue surrounding cystlike cavities. The course of this disease led to chronic multiple fistulae with secondary infection in spite of two attempts of surgical excision. This case adds further support to the results of earlier reports showing no specific biological abnormalities. The present sutyd indicates otherwise that tumoral calcinosis and lipo-calcino-granulomatosis of Teutschlaender are the same condition. The pathogenesis of this affection remains enigmatic; there is no evidence that the lipidic excess should be the beginning of the process, but this disease must be considered as a distinctive form of calcinosis. The surgical exeresis is the only possible treatment, even if it doesn't prevent recurrence.

[Indications for portacaval anastomoses in portal hypertension due to alcoholic cirrhosis. (Role of anatomo-pathological examination.)].

The authors report their experience of 134 cases of porta-caval anastomosis for alcoholic cirrhosis. From their experience, they draw up the logical indications for this operation, i.e. in order to ensure better survival than that of patients treated in other ways. They suggest routine study of surgical biopsy, even as an emergency. This biopsy permits them to recognise which cases are liable to be progressive; in severe cases, surgery should not be undertaken. Thanks to this selection, the operative mortality is reduced to that of any other severe operation (6 p. 100) and later survival is improved owing to absence of recurrent hemorrhage.
