    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Au cours des 7 dernières années les auteurs ont observé 48 cas de tumeurs carcinoÏdes dont 15 siégeaient au niveau de l'intestin grÊle. Dans cet article ils décrivent les différents aspects revÊtus par ces tumeurs, le syndrome carcinoÏde et leur traitement adéquat. Le pronostic de ces lésions est très variable et donc difficile à prévoir pour chaque malade. Leur croissance et leur dissémination est souvent lente, de ce fait les malades soumis à un traitement médical et chirurgical convenables peuvent survivre de 15 à 20 ans au-delà des premières manifestations de la maladie. La qualité de vie peut Être améliorée soit par l'exérèse chirurgicale du plus grand nombre possible de métastases hépatiques, soit par embolisation hepatique.
    Abstract: Resumen Los tumores del yeyuno y del ileon constituyen hasta un 5% de todos los tumores del tracto gastrointestinal. Los tumores malignos más frecuentes del intestino delgado son los adenocarcinomas y los tumores carcinoides, con una ligera preponderancia de los adenocarcinomas. El ileon es el lugar de más frecuente localización de los carcinoides del intestino delgado, con una incidencia global que sólo la sobrepasa el apéndice. Cerca de 10% de los carcinoides de intestino delgado ocurren en el yeyuno. En los Últimos siete años hemos manejado 48 casos de tumores carcinoides. De estos, 15 han sido tumores del intestino delgado. Los tumores carcinoides poseen una apariencia histológica similar a la de otros tumores neuroendocrinos. Contienen y secretan 5-hidroxitriptamina; excesivas cantidades de ácido-5-hidroxi indolacético aparecen en la orina. Sinembargo, no todos los tumores producen 5-hidroxitriptamina y algunos secretan dopamina y noradrenalina. Tales hallazgos son consistentes con el concepto de que las células de un tumor carcinoide se derivan de la serie APUD. Los componentes principales del síndrome carcinoide son “flushing” (rubor), diarrea, lesiones valvulares cardiacas y asma. El primer objetivo del tratamiento quirÚrgico es corregir la obstrucción, lo cual implica la resección del tumor y de las asas intestinales afectadas por la masa tumoral. En algunos casos es necesario realizar hemicolectomía derecha. Cuando el tumor se extiende por fuera del intestino, la resección debe incluir tanto tumor como sea posible, incluyendo ganglios mesentéricos y paraaórticos y depósitos secundarios en el hígado. En aquellos casos en que haya mÚltiples depósitos, la resección parcial de hígado puede ser beneficiosa. La ligadura de la arteria hepática ha sido utilizada en casos de depósitos mÚltiples, pero este procedimiento ha sido reemplazado por la embolización; muchos patientes pueden sobrevivir por periodos largos de tiempo con metástasis hepáticas. Se ha utilizado la quimioterapia citotóxica para enfermedad difundida, así como la irradiación para el manejo de dolor por metástasis óseas.
    Notes: Abstract During the last 7 years we have managed 48 cases of carcinoid tumor. Of these 15 have been tumors of the small bowel. In this article we describe and discuss the presentation of small bowel carcinoid tumors, the carcinoid syndrome, and its treatment. The content reflects our clinical experience.

    Notes: Abstract An 18-month-old girl is reported in whom marked unilateral breast enlargement occurred after 4 weeks of cimetidine therapy. After withdrawal of the drug the enlargement rapidly disappeared. This observation points to cimetidine as a possible cause of premature thelarche. Cimetidine, a selective H2 receptor blocking agent, is known to cause gynaecomastia in males. This effect seems related to clevated plasma oestrogens, gonadotropins, or to binding of the drug to androgen receptors. Ranitidine, a much more potent selective H2 receptor blocker, does not cause gynaecomastia and seems therefore preferable to cimetidine.

    Notes: Abstract We describe the case history of a 13-year-old girl with chronic fatigue and prolonged microcytic anaemia. She received oral iron since the age of 11 but failed to respond to it. Laboratory studies revealed elevated C-reactive protein and hypergammaglobulinaemia. A large solitary mesenterial lymph node could be demonstrated by ultrasonography and CT. A diagnosis of Castleman disease was suspected and confirmed histologically. After surgical removal of the lymphoma the patient recovered completely. Conclusion Castleman disease should be considered in cases of chronic fatigue, unexplained fever, microcytic anaemia and hypergammaglobulinaemia.

    Notes: Abstract A 12-year-old boy with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) presented with a large retroperitoneal tumour. Exploratory surgery revealed an infiltrative tumour originating from the pancreas, with local metastases to the lymph nodes. The histologal diagnosis was a malignant islet cell tumour. Retrospectively measured pancreatic hormone levels, however, were normal. A connection between the malignancy and TSC was demonstrated by loss of heterozygosity of the TSC2 gene in the tumour. The primary mutation Q478X in this patient was identified in exon 13 of the TSC2 gene on chromosome 16. Conclusion Pancreatic islet cell tumours have been mainly associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 1. In our case we demonstrate a direct relationship of this tumour to tuberous sclerosis complex, in the absence of further signs of multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 1.

    Notes: Abstract Background: Laparoscopic treatment of intestinal malrotation in children is difficult, and most of our pediatric surgeon colleagues active in the field of laparoscopic surgery tell us that more often than not they must convert to an open procedure. Initially, we experienced much difficulty too, but after modification we were able to master the technique, and now we feel confident. We here describe the actual technique we use. Methods: Our experience encompasses nine children treated during the past 18 months. Five of the children presented in the newborn period and four later. During laparoscopic surgery, it is of paramount importance to concentrate not on the loops of bowel, but on the duodenum. By starting to identify the duodenum, mobilizing it, and carrying on the mobilization of the small bowel down until the whole small bowel has been seen, the pathologic anatomy is easily unraveled. Moreover, an existing volvulus is automatically reduced and the bowel automatically put in a nonrotation position in the abdomen. Results: All patients have done well, and no complications have been noted. Operative time has been reduced to about 1 hour. Conclusions: Laparoscopic treatment of intestinal malrotation in children is not so difficult provided certain rules, as described, are followed.

    Notes: Abstract Background: With new advances in diagnostic and therapeutic tools, the early management of adhesive bowel obstruction has become feasible. Methods: In a retrospective study, 20 children with adhesive bowel obstruction were investigated to assess the possible advantages of the laparoscopic approach. Results: Laparoscopy was performed in nine children. Six of them were managed laparoscopically. Recovery was uneventful. In two children, extensive adhesions warranted elective conversion. The single complication occurred in a child with obstruction of the colon due to perforation caused by a small instrument. Eleven children underwent primary laparotomy for adhesive obstruction. Five of them had a single band and might have benefited from a laparoscopic approach. Conclusions: Laparoscopic management of adhesive bowel obstruction in children is feasible and safe in experienced hands. Early management saves the child a great deal of discomfort and allows a quick recovery with early discharge.

    Notes: Abstract. The slipping of trocars is a major problem, especially in pediatric laparoscopic surgery. Although the suturing of a trocar, along with its valve housing, to the fascia or skin is common, this technique only serves to prevent the trocar from being pulled out. We have found that the simple procedure of winding a ±1-cm broad tape several times around the base of the trocar, which has been sutured to the fascia or skin, will prevent the trocar from being pushed in, even during lengthy operations. The tape that we use is derived from sterile disposable drapes and is therefore not only readily available but also an inexpensive solution to a chronic problem.
