[Duodenal villous adenoma: a case report].

Small bowel tumours are rare neoplasms representing just 1% of all the gastrointestal tract lesions. Adenomas are the benign forms which, developing in the duodenum, tend to localize in periampullary region, with high incidence of malignant degeneration. The authors report a case of a fifty-five-years old woman with a periampullary villous adenoma.

[Synchronous multiple gastric adenocarcinoma: a clinical case].

The Authors present a case of synchronous double gastric carcinoma in a 75-year-old man. Synchronous multiple gastric carcinoma (SMGC) constitutes 4% to 10% of all gastric cancers. It exhibits several clinicopathological characteristics that differ from those of solitary cancers: SMGC occurs in older people (men more than women); early carcinoma is observed more frequently in SMGC than in solitary cancers; the rate of intestinal type lesions is higher in multiple than in single gastric carcinoma.
