    Title translation Acute abdomen from ruptured adrenal pheochromocytoma: case report.
    Abstract The pheochromocytoma is a very rare neoplasm, which originates in 98% of cases in the adrenal medulla; it is often bilateral in familial syndromes. It is more frequent in syndromes like MEN2, von Hippel-Lindau disease, and neuofribromatosis type 1. In this article the Authors report a case of a young woman with a large adrenal pheochromocytoma, that presented by an acute abdomen; the treatment was explorative laparotomy with unilateral adrenalectomy. Therapy of this tumour is founded on surgery, plus chemiotherapy radiotherapy or treatment with 131I-MIBG (iodine-131-metaiodobenzylguanidine in malignant cases (10%). According with the absence of a correlation between pathological findings and clinical behaviour, a long-term follow up is indispensable.

    Title translation Appendiceal mucocele due to mucinous cystadenoma: case report and review of the literature.
    Abstract Mucinous cystadenomas of the appendix are rare tumours. In this article we describe the case of a young woman who presented with abdominal pain and a clinical pattern likely to a chronic appendicitis. At laparotomy we found a dilatation of the appendix which contained an abundant quantity of mucus. Histological examination showed a mucinous cystadenoma of the appendix. This neoplasm requires a surgical treatment, usually only appendectomy and right hemicolectomy in case of involvement of the caecum. During operation, the surgeon must take care in handling the appendix because of the risk of rupture with consequent dissemination of epithelial cells in the peritoneal cavity (pseudomyxoma peritonei).

    Title translation Spontaneous rupture of common iliac artery: a case of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and review of the literature.
    Abstract Authors report an uncommon case of spontaneous rupture of common iliac artery in a man 43 years old with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. The clinical presentation was devious in the beginning and catastrophic after few hours with a haemo-peritoneum and haemorragic shock. The Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a rare affection of the connective tissue with an incidence of 1/5000, representing one of the most common disorders of the connective tissue. This disease is characterized by the fragility of arteries, intestine and uterus. Its presentation is often catastrophic, with rupture of a big artery, rupture of uterus during pregnancy or bowel perforation. The mean age of death in subjects with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is 45 years. This syndrome is inherited in most cases in an autosomal dominant manner; 50% of the cases are due to new mutations. A minority of cases, due to deficit of tenascina X, is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner.

    Title translation Splenic marginal zone lymphoma: case report and review of the literature.
    Abstract Splenic marginal zone lymphomas are rare tumors which take origin from the B cells. More common in the elderly, often asymptomatic, they can present with abdominal pain, splenomegaly and cytopenia and have an indolent clinical course. We describe a case of a women 79 years old who presented with abdominal pain, fever and splenomegaly. Computed tomography demonstrated splenomegaly with an area of low density in the spleen. Only by laparotomy and splenectomy the correct diagnosis was possible. Because of the indolent course of this kind of lymphomas, splenectomy is the main treatment for patients with abdominal pain, splenomegaly and cytopenia. If there is no pain and no cytopenia, the treatment can be only wait and see. Only in case of progression of disease chemotherapy can be employed.

    Title translation Endovascular laser ablation of the greater saphenous vein for varicose veins: our initial experience.
    Abstract Laser treatment of primary varicose veins of the legs is a new mini-invasive technique which represent an alternative to the safenectomy. Endovascular laser treatment is based on the employ of laser to destroying the vascular wall and inducing fibrosis. This technique is not without complications: burns, paraesthesias, haematomas, but most of all disappear in few days. Encouraged by the promising results reported in literature, we have performed 18 laser ablation of greater saphenous vein since 2003 till today. Our patients had a good post-operative course and a follow up without troubles (3-17 months). We think that laser treatment is effective in the treatment of the primary varicose veins of the legs. It requests attention and experience in dosing the laser energy for minimizing the complications. Today there isn't long term follow up in literature.

    Abstract Inflammatory myofibroblastic pseudotumors (IPM) are very rare tumor characterized by unpredictable clinical behaviour. They arise in soft tissues of almost every organ and the most common site is the lung. Over 200 cases of inflammatory myofibroblastic pseudotumor of the lung have been described in literature. Intra-abdominal IMP are very rare. We describe a case of intra-abdominal IMP in a boy of 15 years old who presented symptoms and signs of acute appendicitis. Exploratory laparotomy revealed a mass in the peritoneal cavity. The mass was removed. The histologic examination showed that it was an IMP. Surgical treatment was the only therapy. Six months after the surgical operation the patient has no sign of illness.
