    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Le traitement du cancer du foie associé à des varices oesophagiennes fut pratiqué chez 8 cirrhotiques qui présentaient une hypertension portale. Chez 5 malades, admis pour le traitement chirurgical de varices oesophagiennes, un cancer limité du foie fut décelé au moment de l'exploration opératoire. Chez 3 malades le diagnostic d'hépatome avait été porté avant l'intervention. L'exérèse de la tumeur du foie suivie d'une anastomose porto-cave fut pratiquée avec succès chez 6 malades. Le traitement simultané des varices oesophagiennes et du cancer du foie est possible quand la tumeur hépatique est découverte à un stade précoce. Le procédé le plus fiable pour aboutir à un diagnostic exact est représenté par l'artériographie hépatique. Notre propre expérience nous incite donc à recommander l'étude artériographique chez les cirrhotiques, particulièrement quand on envisage de traiter chirurgicalement les varices oesophagiennes.
    Notes: Abstract Surgical treatment of liver cancer associated with esophageal varices was carried out in 8 cirrhotic patients with evidence of portal hypertension. In 5 patients admitted for elective surgery of esophageal varices, minute hepatomas were detected during the course of preoperative investigation. The remaining 3 patients were referred to our department when esophageal varices plus hepatoma had become evident. Extirpative treatment of the liver tumor followed by selective shunt operations were successfully carried out in 6 patients, and interrupted procedures were used in 2 patients. Treatment of both esophageal varices and liver cancer appears to be effective when the tumor in the liver is detected in an early stage. The most reliable diagnostic tool at the present time seems to be hepatic arteriography. Our experience strongly suggests that arteriographic studies should be seriously considered in cirrhotic patients, particularly when surgery for varices is being contemplated.
