    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Vingt-deux patients cirrhotiques ayant un carcinome hépatocellulaire associé à des varices esophagiennes ont eu une résection hépatique aggressive associée à une dévascularisation et/ou à une sclérothérapie endoscopique périopératoire (groupe A). Les résultats ont été comparés à ceux de 37 patients cirrhotiques sans varices oesophagiennes qui ont eu une résection hépatique pour un carcinome 〈 2 cm pendant la même période (groupe B). Ont été étudiés les données cliniques, paracliniques préopératoires, l'aspect anatomopathologique, la survie globale et la survie sans maladie. La durée de l'opération, la quantité de sang perdu et le poids du foie réséqué ne différaient pas, alors que la taille de la tumeur dans le groupe A (2.7±1.6 cm, moyenne±ET) était significativement plus importante que dans le groupe B (1.5±0.3 cm). La fonction hépatique préopératoire était plus perturbée dans le groupe A par rapport au groupe B exception faite pour le temps de prothrombine. En dépit de ces inconvénients, les taux de survie sans maladie à 1, 3 et 5 ans des groupes A étaient respectivement de 72% et 94%, 48% et 54%, et 38% et 45% par rapport au groupe B, repsectivement. Les taux de survie globale étaient respectivement de 91% et 97%, 79% et 79% et 54% et 67%, sans différence significative, dans les groups A et B. Aucun malade dans le groupe A n'a saigné après traitement. Sur ces données, la résection hépatique aggressive associée à une dévasculatisation simultanée ou une sclérothérapie endoscopique périopératoire est le traitement de choix pour un carcinome hépatocellulaire associé à des varices oesophagiennes.
    Abstract: Resumen Veintidós pacientes con carcinoma hepatocelular (CHC) y várices esofágicas concomitantes fueron sometidos a resección hepática acompañada de devascularización y/o escleroterapia endoscópica perioperatoria (grupo A). Con el propósito de evaluar esta modalidad de tratamiento, se estudiaron también 37 pacientes cirróticos sin varices esofágicas que fueron sometidos a resección hepática por CHC pequeño, de 2 cm o menos, en la misma época (grupo B), comparando datos preoperatorios, hallazgos anatomopatológicos, tasas de evolución libre de enfermedad y tasas de sobrevida. El tiempo operatorio, la magnitud de la pérdida de sangre y el peso del hígado resecado no mostraron diferencias entre los dos grupos; sin embargo, el tamaño del tumor en el grupo A (2.7±1.6 cm) fue significativamente mayor que en el grupo B (1.5±0.3 cm). La alteración de la función hepática en el grupo A apareció más pronunciada que en el grupo B, excepto por el tiempo de protrombina. A pesar de estas ventajas, las tasas de evolución a uno, tres y cinco años en los dos grupos fueron 91% vs 97%, 79% vs 79% y 54% vs 67% (grupo A vs grupo B) respectivamente, cifras que no representan diferencia significativa. Además, no se encontró sangrado varicoso en el grupo A después del tratamiento. Con base en taies hallazgos, se plantea que el tratamiento de elección en los pacientes con CHC y várices esofágicas concomitantes es la resección agresiva combinada con devascularización simultánea y/o escleroterapia endoscópica perioperatoria.
    Notes: Abstract Twenty-two cirrhotic patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and concomitant esophageal varices underwent aggressive hepatic resection accompanied by simultaneous devascularization, perioperative endoscopic injection sclerotherapy, or both (group A). To evaluate this treatment, 37 cirrhotic patients without esophageal varices who underwent hepatic resection for small HCC (2 cm or less) during the same period (group B) were studied to compare clinical data, preoperative laboratory data, pathologic findings, disease-free rates, and survival rates. The operative time, blood loss, and resected liver weight did not differ between the two groups; however, the tumor size of group A (2.7±1.6 cm, mean±SD) was significantly larger than that of group B (1.5±0.3 cm). The preoperative liver function of group A was also more severe than that of group B except for prothrombin time. Despite these disadvantages, the 1-, 3-, and 5-year disease-free rates of the two groups were 72% versus 94%, 48% versus 54%, and 38% versus 45%, respectively, and the 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates were 91% versus 97%, 79% versus 79%, and 54% versus 67% (group A versus group B), respectively, which showed no significant differences. Furthermore, there was no variceal bleeding in group A after treatment. Based on the above findings, for treatment of HCC and concomitant esophageal varices, aggressive hepatic resection accompanied by simultaneous devascularization, perioperative endoscopic injection sclerotherapy, or both is the preferred form of treatment.

    Notes: Abstract We present herein the case of a sclerosing hemangioma of the liver which was extremely difficult to differentiate from liver metastasis of rectal cancer, in a 67-year-old woman. All the radiological findings were compatible with liver metastasis; however, marginal pooling of the tumor revealed by computed tomographic angiography and magnetic resonance imaging scans was inconsistent with a diagnosis of liver metastasis. At laparotomy, the tumor was macroscopically unusual in that it was yellowish elastic-hard with a very clear margin, and thus, it did not have the appearance of a metastatic tumor. Mile's operation and a partial hepatectomy were performed, followed by an uneventful postoperative course and no signs of recurrence. The carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level in the peripheral blood was not elevated at any time. The postoperative pathological diagnosis was a rare hepatic tumor, namely, a "sclerosing hemangioma," based on the findings of cellular fibrous stroma containing vascular channels with flattened endothelial cells. Preoperatively differentiating between sclerosing hemangioma and a metastatic liver tumor from colorectal cancer may be very difficult; however, this case demonstrated some interesting characteristics, namely, the serum CEA level was not elevated, marginal pooling of the tumor was found in the enhanced radiological findings, and the tumor was macroscopically unusual. Therefore, the possibility of sclerosing hemangioma should be borne in mind when considering the differential diagnosis of patients suspected of having colorectal liver metastasis. A preoperative biopsy should be carried out and when a laparotomy is performed under the misdiagnosis of colorectal liver metastasis, it is advisable that either an intraoperative needle biopsy or a frozen histological analysis be undertaken to avoid unnecessary extended hepatic resection of this rare benign hepatic tumor.

    Notes: Abstract We report herein the rare case of a 15-year-old girl with chronic appendicitis in whom the appendix was clearly depicted by a barium enema (BE) examination. The patient presented with a 4-month history of diffuse abdominal pain and tenderness in the lower abdomen. Neither computed tomography nor ultrasonography showed any abnormal findings in the lower abdomen or pelvic cavity. Furthermore, BE examination depicted an appendix filled with the contrast medium. However, at elective surgery, she was found to have chronic appendicitis which was later confirmed histologically. Following this case report, a discussion on the value and limitations of BE examination for the diagnosis of acute and chronic appendicitis is presented.
