[Recurrent Crohn's disease in the ileocolonic anastomosis complicated with duodenal fistula].

Duodenal fistulas in patients with Crohn's disease are rare, and up to one hundred cases were described in the medical literature. We report an additional case of a 40-year-old male who underwent an ileo-ascending colectomy 13 years ago for Crohn's disease and was admitted to our unit with palpable abdominal mass and persistent cutaneous fistula. Preoperative fistulography and barium enema demonstrated Crohn's disease recurrence in the site of the ileocolonic anastomosis and external fistula communicating with the pre-anastomotic ileum.

[Intrabiliary rupture of the hydatic cyst complicated with acute pancreatitis].

Acute pancreatitis is a rare complication of hydatidosis, and only few reports were published previously. We report a case of a 17-year-old man, with recurrent liver hydatid cyst, who presented with severe upper abdominal pain, vomiting, jaundice. Amylase and bilirubin were elevated.

[Organized pancreatic necrosis resembling retroperitoneal tumor].

This paper presents the case of a 29 years old patient who has an organized pancreatic necrosis, presenting preoperative differential diagnosis problems and surgical technique difficulties, revealing the fact that, in this particular case, paraclinical investigations have an orientative value, and are not offering information regarding etiology, and do not allow to establish a preoperative strategy. Tumor resection was performed; final diagnosis was established by histological examination. The follow-up period was uneventful.
