Carcinoma of stomach in a patient with familial tylosis.

The association of tylosis with esophageal cancer has been extensively reported but association with gastric cancer is rare. We report a 55-year-old man with familial tylosis and carcinoma of the stomach for which radical gastrectomy was done. Repeat endoscopy 3 years later is normal.

Pancreaticoduodenectomy for metastatic colonic cancer--report of two cases.

We present our experience with two patients with metastases in the periampullary region from previously treated colonic carcinoma who were treated with pancreaticoduodenectomy.
