[Amyloidosis of the gallbladder. An unusual localization]. / Amylose de la vésicule biliaire. Une localisation exceptionnelle.

We report a rare case of amyloidosis of the gallbladder in a 60-year-old man. This amyloidosis was associated with hepatic amyloidosis and pancreatic adenocarcinoma. To our knowledge, this is the second case reported in the literature and the first associated with neoplastic pathology.

[Difficult diagnosis of a biliary cyst. A case report]. / Kyste biliaire de diagnostic difficile. A propos d'un cas.

A 26 year-old man presented a hepatic cyst complicated by intracystic bleeding. Clinical and biological features (chronic pancreatitis), ultrasound and computed tomography findings apparent hepatic and splenic location), macroscopic aspects (inflammatory changes, brown-colored fluid) as well as microscopic characteristics (thickened cyst-wall, absence of epithelium) of both cysts suggested the diagnosis of pancreatic pseudocysts. The diagnosis of hepatic cyst was carried out on histological examination showing Meyenburg and neuro-fibrillar complexes. Occurrence of complications (bleeding, size enlargement) may modify typical histological aspect of hepatic cyst.

[Hemorrhagic pseudo-cyst of the pancreas caused by erosion of the gastroduodenal artery during chronic calcifying pancreatitis]. / Pseudo-kyste hémorragique du pancréas par érosion de l'artère gastro-duodénale au cours d'une pancréatite chronique calcifiante.

A hemorrhagic pseudo cyst of pancreas, due to a gastro duodenal artery erosion, is presented in a patient presenting a chronic pancreatitis. The diagnosis was suspected by means of clinical, ultrasound, TDM signs and was confirmed by coeliomesenteric angiography. The surgical treatment was successfully performed by local hemostasis and cystojejunal Roux-loop anastomosis.
