ABSTRACT
The authors present 6 cases of colonic lipoma, 2 in females and 1 in male, aged between 61-62 years. The benign lipomatous tumour was in all cases unique, located in the right segment of the colon, ileocecal valve, and on the sigmoid once respectively. The right colonic lipomas had clinical signs of intestinal invagination while the sigmoidian one were characterized by abdominal pain and bleeding. The surgical solution consisted in limited ileocecal resection, right hemicolectomy, and segmentary colectomy respectively.

Between 1950 and 1979 approximately 2400 patients with thyropathies have been operated in the I-st Surgical Clinic of Jassy. Of these 100 had cervico-mediastinal goiters, of which 79 were of the plunging cervico-mediastinal type, 18 were of the mediastino-cervical type and 3 were mediastinal goiters. The surgical treatment was applied in 98 patients, cervicotomy being sufficient to relieve the symptoms in 92 of the cases. The mixed approach (cervicosternotomy, or cervico-thoracic approach) were necessary in 5 cases, and the thoracic approach was selected in one case with an independent posterior mediastinal goiter. The immediate postoperative evolution, as well as the late evolution was good in most of the cases. Postoperative mortality was of 2 percent.
