    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 Internal abdominal hernia. Unusual cause of intestinal occlusion.
    Abstract Internal abdominal hernias are an unusual cause of intestinal occlusion. They are responsible for 2% of all the intestinal obstructions. Various types of hernia have been described. The diagnosis is difficult, but should be suspected in patients suffering from intestinal obstruction who have undergone earlier laparotomy. Diagnosis is even more difficult in cases of congenital internal hernia. The authors report a case of left paraduodenal hernia (congenital), and a case of transmesenteric hernia (acquired). Both patients complained of a short history of abdominal pain and characteristic symptoms of acute abdomen (nausea, vomit, cramps and obstipation). Emergency surgery using laparotomy enabled diagnosis and treatment. The authors underline the difficulty of diagnosing these hernias and emphasise the diagnostic and therapeutic importance of emergency surgery.

    Title translation Biologically borderline neoplasms: epithelial hemangioendothelioma. A case report.
    Abstract The case of a patient affected by an epithelial hemangioendothelioma of the arm is described. A definitive diagnosis was possible only by histologic examination. The difficulty to reliably predict the biological behaviour of these tumors is emphasized and therefore the necessity of a follow-up of the patient for many years is stressed, even in the case of a histologically benign tumor.

    Title translation Evaluation of the treatment with disodium cromoglycate in the ulcerative rectocolitis. Our experience.
    Abstract Background and aims: This study highlights the possibility of treating recidivating ulcerative rectocolitis with oral disodium cromoglycate based on the assay of plasma IgE.
    Methods: The study was performed from January 1995 to December 1997 in 28 patients suffering from recidivating ulcerative rectocolitis whose main symptom was hematic diarrhoea. Total plasma IgE were assayed in all patients and oral disodium cromoglycate treatment was commenced at a dose of 1.500 mg pro/die with follow-up at 2, 6, 12 and 24 months to evaluate general and endoscopic clinical conditions.
    Results: Patients with a high titre of total IgE showed a full remission of symptoms and no recidivation.
    Conclusions: The authors conclude by emphasising the importance of immunological factors in the pathogenesis of the disease and underline the stabilising effect of oral disodium cromoglycate on mast cells.

    Title translation Primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the colon: a rare but possible location. Therapeutic approach. Description of a clinical case and review of the literature.
    Abstract On the basis of a case of large cell, highly malignant, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the colon, the authors describe the special features of this rare location; the general aspects of this rare pathology of the colon are then considered. The clinical case relates to a large cell, highly malignant, non-Hodgkin's colic lymphoma located in the caecum at two thirds proximally of the ascending colon of which it occupies half the lumen. The patient had come to our observation for a quite aspecific symptomatology characterised by digestive disturbances and a tendency to stipsis. In disaccord with certain literature reports, surgical treatment was considered by the authors the key to the therapeutic approach. Surgical exeresis should be as radical as possible to permit complementary therapies (chemotherapy and radio-therapy) to act with most effectiveness and thus offer the patient a better life.

    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 Posterior approach in the treatment of sacrococcygeal chordoma: a rare, locally infiltrating, destructive and recurrent tumor. A case report and review of the literature.
    Abstract Based on personal observation of a case of recurrent chordoma in the sacrococcygeal region four years after the first excision with subtotal resection of the coccyx using a posterior approach, the authors describe the unique characteristics of this rare neoplasm and underline the simplicity of this method of treatment. The surgical technique used to treat the recurrent form also used a posterior approach, with complete resection of the neoplasm including the scar of the previous operation and the last remaining segment of the coccyx. No intra- or postoperative complications were reported. The authors examine the clinical and histological aspects of this neoplasm, concluding that the correct form of treatment must aim both to protect the adjacent anatomic structures and to achieve radical exeresis, as well as achieving a simpler surgical approach unhampered by complications. The authors believe that this approach is simpler than the abdominal-dorsal approach, although this is necessary in the event of intra-abdominal infiltrations.

    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.
