    Notes: Abstract  A-52-year-old patient presented with a 2-year history of multiple myeloma, recurrent episodes of hypercalcemia, and extensive bone involvement. She developed pulmonary infiltrates, initially misdiagnosed as interstitial pneumonia. High-resolution computed tomography and bone scintiscanning indicated pulmonary calcification, which was confirmed by a transbronchial biopsy. Cytostatic treatment of multiple myeloma in combination with repetitive i.v. administration of bisphosphonates over a period of 6 months led to a significant improvement of clinical symptoms. Regression of pulmonary infiltrates was demonstrated by chest radiograph and computed tomography. There are only a few reports on pulmonary calcification in patients with multiple myeloma; the condition was associated mostly with progressive disease, kidney failure, adult respiratory distress syndrome and bad prognosis. In our patient isolated calcification of the lungs without involvement of other organ systems was successfully treated. These findings suggest that interstitial pulmonary calcinosis in multiple myeloma can be reversed by normalization of serum calcium levels using bisphosphonates combined with cytostatic treatment.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Unter 60 Duodenopankreatektomien der letzten 5 Jahre wurden 23 totale Duodenopankreatektomien durchgeführt: 15 mal wegen komplizierter chronischer Pankreatitis und 8 mal wegen Carcinom. Die Operations- bzw. Hospitalletalität betrug 4 % (1 Patient verstarb 12 Tage post-operativ an einer Kathetersepsis). Es werden die Operationsindikation, die Operationstechnik Bowie postoperative Überwachung und Therapie Bowie die Ergebnisse demonstriert.
    Notes: Summary Among 60 duodenopancreatectomies performed during the past 5 years there were 23 total pancreatectomies, 15 of which were performed for chronic complicated pancreatitis and 8, for carcinoma. The operative and hospital mortality was 4 % (1 patient died on the 12th postoperative day of a venous catheter sepsis). Indications for operation, technique, postoperative care, and long-term therapy are demonstrated.
