ABSTRACT
We reported a case of patient born in 1967 who has been operated on in 1987 on three years after the beginning of ulcerative colitis which became severe and resistant to the medical treatment. A total colectomy with an ileo-rectal anastomosis had been performed. The pathological diagnosis carried of the specimen was Ulcerative colitis. Then a proctectomy. followed by ileo-anal anastomosis, was performed in 1993. After several episodes of pochitis and the appearance of intestinal lesions upstream the ileal pocket, the retained diagnosis was Crohns colitis. Eight years after the ileo-anal anastomosis, the patient developed an adenocarcinoma in the ileal pocket. He has been operated on in 2002 and he had abdominoperineal resection, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. He died in January 2003. The death was related to the recurrence of malignancy. Endoscopic controls with biopsies are mandatory doing to follow up dysplasia predictive of degeneration

Agenesis of the gall-bladder is a very rare affection. The pathogeny is correlated with abnormality affecting the embryogenesis of hepatic diverticulum which explain the frequent association with others malformations. The diagnosis is exceptionnaly made preoperatively. Laparotomy confirm the diagnosis and the surgeon must explore the habitual ectopic site by manual explorations, sonography and cholangiography before concluding at the diagnosis of agenesis of gallbladder

The incidence of carcinoma of the esophagus within patients with chronic esophageal stricture caused by ingestion of corrosive agents is reported to be significantly higher than in the general population. Two patients developed carcinoma of the esophagus respectively 25 and 40 years after corrosive injury. One of these patients had initially gastrostomy and repeated esophagal dilation. Taking into account the high incidence of carcinoma in the site of esophageal stricture, we conclude that the resection of the esophagus is indicated in patients with chronic caustic stricture if there is any finding suggestive of malignancies such as a long duration of the lesions more than 20 years particulary when the ingested agent was caustic soda or sudden aggravation of preexisting dysphagia
