[Dissecting intramural hematoma of the esophagus: a rare cause of chest pain].

Introduction: Dissecting intramural hematoma of the esophagus is a rare cause of chest pain that can be misinterpreted as a myocardial infarction. The use of anticoagulants in this case may lead to hemorrhagic complications.

Case: A 51-year-old patient, with coronary artery disease, diabetes, hypertension and dependent on both alcohol and tobacco, was admitted for chest pain and an elevated troponin T plasma level.

[Colonoscopic follow up of rectocolonic cancer surgeries. Assessment of 64 examinations].

[Multiple endocrine neoplasms associated with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and hyperparathyroidism].

We report the case of a 43 year old man with multiple endocrine neoplasia (Zollinger-Ellison syndrome-hyperparathyroidism) diagnosed during investigations for a severe ulcer with diarrhoea. The history suggested Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, especially as basal acid production and blood gastrin levels were high. Hypercalcaemia and low blood phosphate levels suggested hyperparathyroidism, which was confirmed by ultra-sound of the neck, showing two parathyroid adenomas.
