[Staging of rectal carcinoma by endorectal ultrasonography].

Staging of rectal carcinoma is essential for its management. 23 patients with rectal lesions were examined by endorectal ultrasonography. Of these 19 had rectal carcinoma and in 4 there was an abscess of the rectal wall, previously diagnosed by sigmoidoscopic biopsy. 10 of those with carcinoma were examined by computerized tomography as well, and 10 were operated on. In most cases the staging of rectal carcinoma by endorectal ultrasonography was accurate and compared well with the operative histological results. We conclude that endorectal ultrasonography is the method of choice for staging of rectal carcinoma prior to treatment.

Retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy in familial Mediterranean fever.

Peripheral lymphadenopathy is rarely observed, whereas mesenteric lymphadenopathy is found occasionally on laparotomies in patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). Retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy was reported only once in an autopsy of a patient with FMF. Our case is the second one, and the first one to be diagnosed during life, by means of abdominal ultrasonography and computerized tomography. In patients with FMF, where lymph node biopsy was done, the pathological finding was non-specific lymphoid hyperplasia.
