Tuberculous brain abscess. Case report.

The authors describe a case of tuberculous cerebral abscess of the frontal lobe that developed 1 year after an episode of acute miliary tuberculosis. The development of such a lesion indicates a persistence of infection and an immunological breakdown which may partly have been due to protein malnutrition.

The immunohistochemical localization of pregnancy-specific beta 1-glycoprotein in postimplantation rat trophoblast.

Pregnancy-specific beta 1-glycoprotein (SP1) was identified by peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) immunohistochemistry in the placenta of inbred strains of rat between 10 and 21 days of gestation. SP1 was located predominantly in basal zone trophoblast and in intravascular trophoblast of decidual vessels, but it was absent from labyrinthine trophoblast. No perivascular cells were identified by SP1 staining, but occasional clusters of interstitial trophoblast stained for SP1. The results suggest that basal and labyrinthine trophoblast are functionally different.

Parathyroid cysts. Report of four cases and review of the literature.

Though a rare lesion, a parathyroid cyst is of clinical significance because it mimics a thyroid cyst and can be associated with hyperparathyroidism. The cyst can be ectopic in location and therefore constitutes a differential diagnosis to a bronchial or thymic cyst. Four cases of parathyroid cyst are presented. Fine needle aspiration with parathyroid hormone assay is diagnostic. Surgical removal of the cyst is recommended.
