The authors analyse the results of endoscopy in 127 patients and clinical observations over 98 patients with giant ulcers of the stomach. The study provided evidence of the low frequency of giant ulcers, their marked polymorphism, and tendency to bleed and degenerate. These ulcers do not differ from
Giant cell arteritis is a generalized inflammatory disorder involving large and medium-sized arteries. The etiology is unknown, although an autoimmune pathogenesis seems probable. In view of the clinical similarities between patients with positive biopsy findings for polymyalgia rheumatica and those
BACKGROUND
There are many, diverse nosological entities with the common factor of the genesis of cortical evoked potentials of great amplitude, commonly known as giant evoked potentials. In most cases they are conditions with the common clinical condition of myoclonic of cortical origin, such as
70 retroperitoneal tumors (10 with an adipous origin out of which 8 were lipomas) have been operated upon in our clinic since 1985. Four cases of giant lipomas are presented in this paper. They weighed 4.5-7.5 kg. and had a diameter over 15 centimeters. Their close proximity with the kidney,
Sarcomatous degeneration in giant cell tumours (G.C.T.) usually only occurs in patients of late adult age. Unlike other Centres, we have not up to now observed primary malignant G.C.T. In 327 cases registered at the Tumour Centre of the Rizzoli Institute, there were 10 cases of sarcomatous

The giant multilocular prostatic cystadenoma is a very rare benign tumor of the prostate gland. It is composed of predominantly cystic enlarged prostatic glands in a fibrous stroma and spreads extensively into the pelvis. Because of the large size at the time of diagnosis, it is not Giant cerebriform intradermal nevus (GCIN) is a form of cutis verticis gyrata and may be associated with a number of systemic diseases. Clinically it manifests itself as a scalp deformity resembling the surface of the brain with cerebriform morphologic characteristics. Degeneration into malignant
Ancient schwannoma is a rare variant of benign peripheral nerve sheath tumor, often morphologically mimicking malignancy. Retroperitoneum is an uncommon location. We describe one case of giant retroperitoneal ancient schwannoma. Literature concerning this variant is also reviewed. A 65 year old male
Giant axonal neuropathy (GAN) is a distal sensorimotor neuropathy, characterized by neurofilamentous axonal swellings, with usual onset at 2 to 3 years of age. We report a case of congenital GAN with hypotonia at birth. At 7 months of age, nerve conduction studies showed almost complete lack of
