摘要:

Maffucci’s syndrome is a nonhereditary dysplasia of mesodermal origin, characterized by multiple dyschondroplasia and hemangiomas. Hemangiomas are often localized in the abdominal viscera. We present a case with visceral hemangiomas and abdominal tumors treated in our department. The patient was diagnosed as suffering from the syndrome when she was 3 years old. In 1981 the patient was operated on for the first time because of intractable ascites and multiple peritoneal cavity tumors. Histology could not rule out malignant changes in these tumors. In 1987 she underwent a second operation to remove two cystic pelvic tumors detected by ultrasound and CT scan. These proved to be a hemangioendothelioma and a lymphangioma. Surgery, when possible, is the treatment of choice for Maffucci’s syndr

摘要:

Intra- and retroperitoneal bleeding may be associated with anticoagulant therapy and presents the gastroenterological surgeon with a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma. Although these rare types of bleeding may be spontaneous, minimal trauma cannot be ruled out. In the case of retroperitoneal hemorrhage, conservative management may suffice, but in the case of intraperitoneal bleeding, urgent laparotomy may be required. It is not possible to elicit causal factors, and elderly patients on anticoagulant therapy should be carefully monitored on the appearance of any abdominal complaints.
