[Pulmonary hamartomas--apropos 3 clinical cases]. / Hamartoamele pulmonare--în legatura cu 3 observatii clinice.

The study starts with presentation of present day knowledge of the disease. Its features are predominantly X-ray images consisting mainly in a round or ovular, usually solitary formation ("coin lesion"). The clinical expression of the disease is usually very discrete, the general state unmodified. The X-ray evidencing follows a routine examination. 3 cases of personal observations are presented. All cases were solved by surgery, by removal of tumour. Etiology is fixed by histological examination of surgery specimen. All aspects risen by the differential diagnosis are largely discussed focusing on lung granuloma (e.g. tuberculoma) lung abscess, limited pneumonia, lipoid pneumonia a.o. Hamartomas are of mesenchymal origin, they are not considered just as tumours but very similar to "tumour-like", without invasive evolution.

[Postoperative acute necrotizing enteritis]. / Enterita acuta necrozanta postoperatorie.

The authors present a case of acute necrotizing enteritis, occuring after anexectomy and drainage that had been performed for ruptured pyosalpinx. There was difficulty in the macroscopic assessement of the lesions, and this made necessary resection of over 2 m of ileon. The diagnosis was established by histologic examination. Operatory recovery was obtained, in contrast with unfavourable results mentioned in the literature.
