Carcinoma in situ of the male breast.

Two cases of carcinoma in situ of the male breast are described: in one patient it arose as a complication of gynecomastia; in the other, it occurred 'de novo' and proceeded to infiltration with widespread metastases. We reviewed 233 cases diagnosed clinically and histopathologically as gynecomastia to see if we could discover other instances of malignant transformation but none was found. Thirty-two cases of infiltrating male breast cancer were also examined. In 11 there was associated intraduct change. In only one of the 32 cases was there evidence of associated microscopic gynecomastia.

Thermal injury to the bowel as a complication of laparoscopic sterilization.

Thermal injury to the small bowel occurred four times in a series of 7466 consecutive laparoscopies and tubal cauterization performed for sterilization. The four patients presented with signs and symptoms of delayed bowel perforation 4 to 11 days after the procedure. The perforations were small and involved the antimesenteric border of the terminal ileum. Histologic study of the excised specimen in one case showed full thickness coagulative necrosis of the bowel wall. Potential causes for bowel burn associated with tubal cauterization are discussed. Steps to minimize the occurrence of this complication include proper use of the laparoscope and cautery equipment, good anesthesia and gas distension of the abdomen, correct positioning of the patient and clear visualization of the operative field.

Goblet cell carcinoid tumor of the appendix. Report of five cases and review of the literature.

Five cases of goblet cell carcinoid tumor of the appendix showed characteristic histologic features that justified classification of these lesions as mucinous variants of carcinoid tumor. The tumor has low-grade malignancy, and metastases are uncommon. Resemblance to mucinous adenocarcinoma of the appendix is striking, and the features that help to differentiate the two lesions are delineated.

The nonspecific nature of fibrin thrombi in ischemic bowel disease.

Twenty cases of ischemic bowel disease were analysed to determine the frequency and significance of fibrin thrombi in this condition. Fibrin thrombi were present in all 10 patients with occlusive ischemic bowel disease and in 7 of the 10 patients with nonocclusive ischemic bowel disease. In addition, fibrin thrombi were noted in a wide variety of specific and nonspecific inflammatory bowel diseases and in acute appendicitis. We conclude that fibrin thrombi are a nonspecific feature of tissue necrosis and that their mere presence in the bowel should not be regarded as an expression of disseminated intravascular coagulation.

Cervical cytology screening: experience of a general hospital.

At Henderson General Hospital, Hamilton, a program was introduced whereby cervical smears were taken routinely for cytologic study from all women admitted aged 17 years or older. The procedure was performed by a specially trained nurse. In a 5-year period 53% of eligible patients were screened. Of these, 32% had not had a cervical smear taken before. In 7681 smears nine instances of invasive disease were discovered: three of the cervix, three of the endometrium and three metastatic. There were 20 cases of carcinoma in situ and 2 of severe dysplasia. Evidence of infection was present in a high percentage of the smears. Hospital admission affords an excellent opportunity of applying this valuable screening procedure.

Characterization of human malignant melanoma cell lines; V. Heterotransplantation in the hamster cheek pouch.

Seven continuous cell lines of human malignant melanoma were studied in terms of their in vivo growth potential in the cheeck pouch of the cortisonized golden hamster. Progressive tumor growth was noted only among the melanoma lines which were grossly pigmented (10/32 transplants). None of the three amelanotic tumor lines showed progressive growth. The growing tumors could be identified as melanoma on morphological grounds and by histochemical demonstration of melanin granules. Histology of the tumor lesions revealed evidence of a host reaction to the tumor transplants. This was confirmed by demonstration of circulating antibodies directed against the implanted human cells. Correlations between in vivo heterotransplantability and in vitro saturation density of human melanoma cells were not found in the present study.

Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma of the rectus sheath case report with ultrasonic findings.

The ultrasonic findings in a 54 year old white male with a rare tumor, mesenchymal chondrosarcoma, involving the rectus sheath are described. The sonogram confirmed the tumor's location in the anterior abdominal wall and provided useful information regarding its extent. An interesting feature was the lesion's relative sonolucency, apparently due to its myxoid content.

Carcinoid tumors, vascular elastosis, and ischemic disease of the small intestine.

Ischemic enteritis or infarction occurred in four of 15 patients who had carcinoid tumors of the small intestine. All four, in addition, had elastic vascular sclerosis of the mesenteric vessels. Both arteries and veins were involved, and the change occurred in the region of tumor deposit. In none of the cases was the tumor occluding the lumen of the vessels, nor was there any evidence of thrombosis. Similar elastosis is seen in cancers of the colon, stomach, and breast, and occurs also with thermal injury and irradiation. The findings of the present study would suggest a direct rather than a humoral effect. It would appear that cancer cells exert an inductive effect on the fibroblast or smooth-muscle cell in vascular walls, with excess production of elastic tissue.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the breast. Light and electron microscopy and a brief review of the literature.

The case of two patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma of the breast are reported. In case 1, the predominant pattern was that of a solid, basaloid, cylindromatous tumor, whereas case 2 showed the typical adenoid cystic appearance. Results of electron microscopical study confirmed that many of the cystic spaces seen by light microscopy were extracellular compartments enclosed by tumor cells. Many of the tumor cells contained densely packed fibrils, which support the myoepithelial origin of these tumors. Approximately 92 well-documented reports of this lesion are briefly reviewed.

Cystosarcoma phyllodes with liposarcomatous stroma.

A case of cystosarcoma phyllodes with liposarcomatous stroma is presented. Electron-microscopic study revealed lipid-containing tumor cells admixed with other mesenchymal cells devoid of fat, correlating well with the light-microscopic findings. The literature is briefly reviewed.

Familial polyposis coli and periampullary carcinoma.

An 80-year-old woman with periampullary carcinoma was found, at autopsy, to have polyposis coli. A brief review of the literature indicates that, although the association of Gardner's syndrome with duodenal and pancreatic carcinoma is well established, the patient described in this report is only the second with polyposis coli in whom a periampullary carcinoma developed.

Acute pancreatitis occurring in heterotopic pancreatic tissue in the gallbladder.

A 54-year-old man with acute upper abdominal pain was found to have pancreatic heterotopia in the wall of the gallbladder. The aberrant pancreatic tissue and the gallbladder wall were the sites of acute inflammation and of fat necrosis. Pancreatic heterotopia of the gallbladder is extremely rare; only 10 proven cases have been reported previously. The most common sites are the stomach, duodenum and jejunum.

Gastritis cystica and carcinoma arising in old gastrojejunostomy stoma.

Gastritis cystica and carcinoma developed 35 years after partial gastectomy and gastrojejunostomy for benign peptic ulcer. Although chronic atrophic gastritis and carcinoma are well recognized complications of gastrojejunostomy, gastritis cystica appears to be rare. The resemblance of the lesion to that of colitis cystica profunda is striking.

In-situ and microinvasive adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix. A clinical, cytologic and histologic study of 14 cases.

In-situ and microinvasive adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix. A clinical, cytologic and histologic study of 14 cases. Am J Clin Pathol 64: 155-70, 1975. The clinicopathologic features of 14 cases of in-situ and microinvasive adenocarcinoma of the cervix, encountered during the period 1961-1974, form the basis of this report. Seven cases represent examples of in-situ and seven, microinvasive adenocarcinoma. Severe dysplasia and carcinoma in-situ of the squamous epithelium were coincidental finds in 12 patiients. Papanicolaou smears were abnormal in all 14 patients. In nine, malignant glandular cells were identified. Five smears contained both malignant squamous and glandular cells. The mean age of the 14 patients was 38.4 years. Thirteen patients had borne one to six children. Two were pregnant at the time of diagnosis, and four were on birth control medication. Thirteen of the patients underwent conization biopsy. Hysterectomy in one form or another was curative in all. The relatively infrequent occurrence of in-situ adenocarcinoma is probably due to the low incidence of cervical adenocarcinoma and to the fact that the lesion is focal and easily overlooked. Five of the cases in the present series were a chance finding in a review of 200 consecutive cone biopsies of the cervix. The resemblance of the in-situ lesions to carcinoma and the presence of morphologically similar glandular tissue adjacent to foci of microinvasion suggests that the in-situ lesion is the precursor of invasive adenocarcinoma of the cerivs.

Mucoceles of the appendix. Their relationship to hyperplastic polyps, mucinous cystadenomas, and cystadenocarcinomas.

Sixty-four cases of hyperplastic polyp, mucinous cystadenoma, and cystadenocarcinoma of the appendix were studied in relation to the development of mucocele and "pseudomyxoma peritonei." Thirty-three cases were examples of hyperplastic polyps. In 11, the appendix was transformed into a mucocele; eight were associated with mucinous cystadenoma and one with mucinous cystadenocarcinoma. The hyperplastic polyp alone was the cause of mucocele formation in two. Thirty-five cases represented examples of mucinous cystadenoma; 32 resulted in mucocele formation. Rupture with localized pseudomyxoma peritonei was found in six; generalized pseudomyxoma peritonei was encountered only once. In four of the five cases of mucinous cystadenocarcinoma, the appendix was grossly transformed into mucoceles. The histological features of mucinous cystadenoma are identical to villous adenoma of the large bowel and probably represent its counterpart within the appendix.
