Whipple's disease infection surgical treatment: presentation of a rare case and literature review.

The Whipple' Disease (W.D.) is a very rare disease with an incidence of 1 per 1.

Surgical management of symptomatic simple hepatic cysts.

The authors present three cases of symptomatic, large, benign, nonparasitic hepatic cysts. The diagnosis was determined by US and CT scan, the latter enabling differential diagnosis with neoplastic or hydatid cysts. All patients were treated with open hepatic resection.

[Giant and bilateral adrenal myelolipoma. Case report].

The adrenal myelolipoma is a relatively rare benign tumour of adipose cell and bone marrow elements, non functioning and asymptomatic. Giant and bilateral adrenal myelolipoma is quite rare. The Authors report a case of bilateral adrenal myelolipoma, a giant one (> 15 cm) on the left side and a small one (> 4 cm) on the right with constant pain in a 57-year-old man, shown by computerized tomography.

[Krukenberg tumour: diagnostic findings and surgical therapy. Recent acquisitions].

The authors report on their experience with two cases of Krukenberg's tumour treated at Chioggia Hospital in patients admitted for pelvic tumours. The clinical manifestation of Krukenberg's tumour is mainly related to the presence of the pelvic mass even in advanced forms of gastrointestinal cancers. The authors stress the importance of an adequate follow-up of premenopausal patients with a previous gastrectomy for adenocarcinoma because the incidence of ovarian metastases is quite frequent and influences the prognosis.
